The filter comprises a plug of filtration material that defines a downstream end segment of the smoking article, the plug being surrounded by one or more filter wrappers.

FILTER TIP, TUBES, AND CONES Pub. No.: US 2016/0128379 Al Applicant: Blunt Wrap U.S.A., Inc., Mandeville, LA (US) A filter strip is provided for rolling sheets to construct custom cigars and/or cigarettes.

The filter strip can be folded in a zig zag or spiral filter section with open section located longitudinally below to form a filter tip. The filter tip can assist the user in rolling by hand a substantially cylindrical or conical cigar or cigarette.
