Embodiment Construction

[0013]FIG. 1 illustrates a cigarette 1 with a cigarette cover 2. The cigarette cover 2 has attaching means 21 for attaching to the cigarette. The means 21 is a narrower, generally cylindrical part of an inner diameter so devised as to hold the cigarette 1 therein. The cover 2 further includes covering means 22, which has a larger inner diameter so as not to contact the cigarette 1; rather, there is a distance, possibly about 1 to 2 millimeters (mm) between them. This separation allows the cover 2 to remain relatively cool, while the cigarette end may be very hot; moreover, the cool cover 2 will not interfere with the burning of the cigarette 1.

[0014]The cover 2 will stop rain drops from reaching the cigarette 1. The cigarette 1 will remain dry and can burn freely when used in the rain. The cover 2 may also help in a dense fog, possibly creating a more dry air atmosphere in the vicinity of the cigarette 1.

[0015]In a preferred embodiment, the length 31 of the attaching means may be ab...
