The sample was a d- - j, ,14cally balanced grciup of full-flaycLw smokers. The F= and B&H Sr were seen as simila in taste mechanics, etc. and in Blind Preference results Sn preferred F=, 45% preferred B&H SF. Ag&ir~ Silk Cut (9 Mg), F= (9 z9) Was preferred 59%, Silk Cut 41%. IZA MT cigarette acaleved its result by the relatively high nicotine blend selection and lad rod density due to high of expanded tobacco. other cigarette design parameters were matched to B&H SF. in principle, the F= route can be i--A at a range of deliveries. However, there are ott- mo- importaft cigarette design parameters (such as filter and selection) which need to be considered f= ultra-law delivery products (5 mcj or less).
