This was hard to try to pick out of the PDF. Best to read the PDF in the link itself.
It's not the analysis I was thinking of. That was on a pipe smoking site. This is interesting, however.
"In principle, three main zones are distinguish
able in burning tobacco (cigarette and pipe) : (a)
the actual glowing point, where oxidation takes place, called in the following the "combustion
zone," (b) the "distillation zone," where no actual
glowing occurs but where the temperature is high
and dry distillation quite strong, and (c) the zone
farthest from the glow point, where the temperature is low and where, for that reason, condensation
of dry distilled material can take place, and which is hence called the "condensation zone." It is
naturally not possible to set any exact limits between the several zones. The ratios that these bear
to one another, although varying greatly and
typically from one product to another, can, how ever, be ascertained retrogradely from the
temperature curve. Chart 1 shows, in percentages of the quantity of tobacco in cigarette or pipe, the ratios that the zones bear to one another, the following being the delimiting temperatures: below 100C°., 100°-300C. 300°-500°C. and higher
than 500C°.
When a pipe is smoked, the temperature does
not rise very high; the heat, on the other hand,
spreads rapidly outside the area which is actually
glowing and burning in the closed bowl. Temperature of the combustion zone was about 500C°.
(variability, 380°-620C.°). The distillation zone
was very large. Experiments show that, of the tobacco below that still unburnt, about 25 per cent reached a temperature exceeding 300C°. during
the suction, and at least 60 per cent a temperature exceeding 100C°. The corresponding fractions of
the substances in the tobacco leaf were thus distilled into the smoke without being burned and without attaining the higher temperatures at all.
With cigarettes the situation was quite different. No essential differences could be noted
among the various brands of cigarette studied (Groups a-/). The highest temperature recorded, 812C°.,was in a Turkish cigarette.The maximal
temperature at the tip was always somewhat lower. In a thin cigarette with a paper mouthpiece, the highest temperature,786C°.,was recorded at
the base. Temperature in the combustion zone was, on the average, 650°C. (variability, 470°-
812C°.). Combustion and distillation zones were
very small : with the glow at the tip, less than 15
per cent of the total quantity of tobacco attained a temperature of more than 300C and less than
25 per cent a temperature above 100C°., while the condensation zone (below 100C°.) comprised
more than 75 per cent of the tobacco.
The burning process in a cigar forms a kind of
intermediate stage between that of a cigarette and
a pipe. The variability, however, depending partly
on the quality of the cigar and partly on the manner of smoking, was so great that measurements
performed in accordance with the methods used
in this study did not give an adequate picture of
the division into zones. For this reason, only individual temperature measurements were taken
when the thermocouple was inserted through the
holder. The maximal temperature varied between
380 and 630C°.The burn or glow at the tip of a
cigar most nearly resembled the conditions observed in the burning of a cigarette, while the mouth end or head of the cigar came closer to a pipe in this respect."
