Cigarettes are manufactured having smokable rods with paper wrapping
materials having additive materials applied thereto as patterns. The
additive materials can be applied to a continuous, moving paper web on a
cigarette making apparatus using application apparatus possessing four
rollers. One roller has a series of pockets to receive additive
formulation and to define the pattern of the formulation on the paper.
The additive material can be applied to a transfer roller in roll
interaction with a pick-up roller. Roll interaction of the transfer
roller with an application roller causes transfer of the additive
material from the transfer roller to the application roller. Additive
material from the application roller can be transferred to the paper web
that passes between the application roller and a back-up roller. A
radiant dryer can be used to dry the additive material applied to the
paper web.
