An insert comprising a substrate and a flavoring agent, wherein the flavoring agent is present in an amount from 50 to 500 mg per cm.sup.3 volume of the substrate. The insert is used for introducing a flavor, or increasing the level of flavor applied, to one or more smoking articles in a package of smoking articles, by enclosing the insert within such a package.

A pre-roll filling system is provided. A pre-roll receiving component is operable to receive a plurality of pre-rolls. The pre-rolls are arranged in at least one row extending along a longitudinal axis. A translating component is operable to translate the pre-roll receiving component along the longitudinal axis. A filling component including at least one needle component is operable to deposit infusion material via at least one needle into the pre-rolls as the pre-roll receiving component translates along the longitudinal axis.

A system for injecting cannabis oil in a cannabis product comprises: a product holder for receiving the cannabis product; a reservoir for containing cannabis oil; a syringe, including a needle, in fluid communication with the reservoir via tubing for receiving cannabis oil therefrom; an engaging mechanism for relatively moving the product holder and syringe towards one another so that the needle is engaged in the cannabis product; and a heating system for heating the cannabis oil between the reservoir and the cannabis product. The heating system includes a syringe-lodging portion, having an opening for allowing the needle therethrough, a heating member for generating heat and being in close proximity with the tubing to transfer heat thereto; and a heat-canalizing system for forcing part of the heat generated by the heating member out of the casing through the opening.

The invention relates to a nano-embossed mouthpiece lining paper which has a lacquer layer comprising nitrocellulose or ethyl cellulose, wherein the lacquer layer is either a clear lacquer layer or a colored lacquer layer and is provided with a nano-structure by mechanical embossing.

The present apparatus and system relate to a machine and components thereof adapted to fill packages and which may be utilized according to a method. The machine progresses a package via a conveyor through sub-stations, such as a cone trimmer, product conveyor, packing head, folding station, and injection station. The cone trimmer trims the package to a desired length, the product conveyor deposits product into the packing head, the packing head packs the product in the package, the folding station folds the package, and the injecting station injects the package.

An apparatus for mass producing smokable products filled with cannabis, hemp, and/or other smokable materials includes a cone loading station that separates individual paper cones from stacks of cones, a cone weighing and filling station for dispensing precisely weighed amounts of powdered biomass into the cones, and a cone twisting station for twisting ends of the cones to complete the smokable products. A transport mechanism is provided to transfer the cones between stations and hold the cones during filling and twisting. The invention also provides a method of manufacturing smokable products that enables production steps to be performed simultaneously while also providing for capacity expansion within a limited production facility footprint.
