Super Slim Active Paper™ filter

Benefits of activated carbon

The Super Slim Active Paper™ filter combines the characteristics of two different filtration materials with the benefit of added activated carbon to provide a filter with a high level of tar and nicotine retention.

Filter construction

Consists of two segments: the tobacco segment is constructed with paper on to which an activated carbon material has been applied, while the mouth segment is high-quality crimped cellulose acetate.

Both segments are enclosed in a plugwrap, which can be standard or porous. Alternatively, the mouth segment can use non-wrapped acetate for a high-quality end appearance. The filter segments are wrapped in an outer plugwrap, which can also be standard or porous depending on ventilation requirements.
