Make your own cigarettes

A tobacco product comprising:

• a rod-shaped element of cigarette tobacco coaxially interconnected to a rod-shaped filter element, with respective first ends of said elements adjoining;
• a tubular wrapper enclosing said tobacco element, said wrapper being of smokable material;
• the first end of said filter element being wrapped by and adhered to a substantially impervious circumferential strip of material that is carried by said tobacco element;
• said filter element having a peripheral surface that is highly porous thus rendering said product unsmokable in that when air is drawn from said product through the second free end of said filter element, the major portion of such air is drawn through said highly porous peripheral surface and any air flow drawn longitudinally through said tobacco element is insufficient to propagate combustion at the tip end thereof or to cause any appreciable amount of smoke to flow through said filter element to the second end thereof;
• in combination with a preformed tubular band of flexible substantially impervious material having a width corresponding to that of the highly porous surface of said filter element, and a circumference corresponding to that of said product, said band being slidable on said product to a position overlying said highly porous peripheral surface to render said product smokable.
