Combined Performance Superior™ (CPS™) filter

Enhanced tar and nicotine retention

The Combined Performance Superior™ (CPS™) filter is designed to give the cigarette a unique end appearance. It also offers enhanced tar and nicotine retention without the need for increased draw resistance or higher ventilation.

Filter construction

Consists of high-quality crimped cellulose acetate fibres, which are bonded firmly. This is first enclosed by an embossed semi-crêpe paper inner wrap, giving the superior fluted appearance, and then wrapped in an outer plugwrap.

The flutes can be presented at the mouth end for a distinctive end appearance, or at the tobacco end, to mirror a standard mono-acetate end.

Smoke is drawn through the paper at the end of embossed flutes. This ‘cross flow filtration mechanism’ increases filter efficiency through an extremely high level of tar and nicotine retention.

Designed to enhance branding, and suit preferred taste and filtration.
