Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a method of making a flavored menthol-containing solid object, which can be used as an input material for hot melt application to a smoking article component. The method generally includes the steps of combining and heating menthol and a flavorant to give a molten mixture; depositing the molten mixture onto a surface; allowing the deposited molten mixture to cool to give a solidified mixture; and removing the solidified mixture from the surface to afford a flavored menthol-containing solid object. The method can further involve melting the solid object and applying the melted material to a smoking article component to modify the flavor/aroma profile of a smoking article into which the coated component is incorporated.
