ELONGATED SMOKING ARTICLE
The present invention relates to an elongated smoking article (100) (100) that extends in a longitudinal direction (L) and comprises a cylindrical smoking body (10) with a combustible material (11) that is surrounded by a wrapping paper (12). The smoking article (100) further comprises a filter element (20) that is configured to reduce substances from combustion gases drawn through the filter element (20) from the burning smoking body (10). A first base area of the filter element faces a base area of the smoking body (10) and a second base area (26) is an open base area. A tipping paper (30) is circumscribing the smoking body (10) and the filter element (20) and is attached to external surfaces (13, 21) of the smoking body (10 and the filter element (20). According to the invention, a flavoring (80) is disposed in or on the tipping paper (30) spaced apart from the second base (26) area in the longitudinal direction and with a distribution that varies in a longitudinal direction (L) of the tipping paper (30), such that the amount and/or type of flavoring (80) contacting a smoker's lips (90) depends on a translational state of the elongated smoking article (100) with respect to the longitudinal direction (L).
HOLLOW CONICAL MEMBER WITH FLAVOR CAPSULE
A device for burning smoking material and inhaling the resulting smoke is disclosed. The device can include an truncated conical member formed from a material having an internal elongated cavity extending from an open end to a closed end. The elongated cavity can be configured to receive a smoking material. The smoking accessory can include a filter disposed within the truncated conical member and defining the closed end. The filter can have a recess formed in a surface of the body along a curved face extending from the first end to the second end, the recess extending radially into the body. The smoking accessory can include a capsule containing a flavoring agent disposed within the recess.
Aerosol delivery system and method of operating the aerosol delivery system
An aerosol delivery system includes an inductive heating device and an aerosol-forming article. The aerosol-forming article includes a plurality of aerosol-forming segments and at least two different susceptors. The inductive heating device includes a device housing including a cavity to accommodate at least a portion of the aerosol-forming article including the plurality of aerosol-forming segments, a coil arranged to surround the cavity, an electrical power source, and a power supply electronics connected to the electrical power source and to the coil. The power supply electronics supplies an alternating current to the coil to generate an alternating magnetic field having magnetic field strength and a frequency to, in at least one aerosol-forming segment, generate a thermal power which is greater than the rate of heat loss of this aerosol-forming segment.
TOBACCO-DERIVED FLAVORANTS
Methods of forming pyrazines from reactants derived from a plant of the Nicotiana species, including receiving an aqueous reactant solution including at least one tobacco-derived cellulosic sugar and at least one tobacco-derived amino acid, heating the reactant solution to a reactant temperature and holding the reactant solution at the reactant temperature for a reactant time to produce a reactant product including at least one tobacco-derived pyrazine, and isolating the at least one tobacco-derived pyrazine from the reactant product. Tobacco products incorporating the tobacco-derived pyrazines are also provided.
Use of physiological cooling active ingredients, and agents containing such active ingredients
The invention relates to a TRPM8 modulator for achieving a cooling effect on the skin or a mucous membrane.
Material for inclusion in a smoking article
A smokeable material for inclusion in a smoking article, the material comprising particles or fragments comprising acacia gum, wherein the particles or fragments do not comprise a diluent, flavourant or aerosol generating material; and substantially comprise or consist of acacia gum.
Aerosol delivery device with conductive inserts
The present disclosure provides aerosol delivery devices. In an example implementation, an aerosol delivery device comprises an aerosol source member that defines an outer surface and an interior area and includes a substrate material having an aerosol precursor composition associated therewith, a control body having a housing that is configured to receive the aerosol source member, an electrical energy source coupled with the housing, and a heating assembly operatively connected to the electrical energy source. The heating assembly includes a plurality of spikes that may be configured to articulate between a retracted position, in which the plurality of spikes is not in contact with the aerosol source member, and a heating position, in which the plurality of spikes pierces through the outer surface of the substrate material and into a portion of the interior area thereof.
AEROSOL-GENERATING ARTICLE WITH LAMINATED WRAPPER
An aerosol-generating article is provided, including: an aerosol-forming substrate including plant material cut filler and between about 6 percent and about 20 percent of an aerosol-former, the plant material cut filler including at least 25 percent of plant lamina per weight of total plant material; and a laminated wrapper including a heat conductive layer and a heat insulating layer, the laminated wrapper being arranged at least partly wrapped around the aerosol-forming substrate and having a thickness of between 30 micrometers and 100 micrometers, and the heat conductive layer and the heat insulating layer overlapping along an axial direction of the aerosol-generating article.
Aerosol source member having combined susceptor and aerosol precursor material
An aerosol delivery device and an aerosol source member for use with an inductive heating aerosol delivery device are provided. The aerosol delivery device comprises a control body having a housing with an opening defined in one end thereof, a resonant transmitter located in the control body, a control component configured to drive the resonant transmitter, and an aerosol source member, at least a portion of which is configured to be positioned proximate the resonant transmitter. The aerosol source member may comprise a tobacco substrate and a plurality of porous susceptor particles, and the susceptor particles may be infused with an aerosol precursor composition.
TOBACCO-CONTAINING SMOKING ARTICLE
A smoking article may include a cigarette incorporated within an electrically powered aerosol generating device that acts as a holder for that cigarette. The smoking article possesses at least one form of tobacco. The smoking article also possesses a mouth-end piece that is used by the smoker to inhale components of tobacco that are generated by the action of heat upon components of the cigarette. A representative smoking article possesses an outer housing incorporating a source of electrical power (e.g., a battery), a sensing mechanism for powering the device at least during periods of draw, and a heating device (e.g., at least one electrical resistance heating element) for forming a thermally generated aerosol that incorporates components of tobacco. During use, the cigarette is positioned within the device, and after use, the used cigarette is removed from the device and replaced with another cigarette.
