A cigarillo (1) and a method of manufacturing a cigarillo are disclosed. The cigarillo comprises a rod (2) of smokable material wrapped in a wrapper (3) comprising reconstituted tobacco material, a filter plug (4) adjacent to, and in axial alignment with, the wrapped rod of smokable material, and a band of tipping paper (7) circumscribing the filter. The wrapper has a porosity of 3-65 CORESTA units, and the cigarillo has a circumference of 16-18 mm.

A supporting member for tobacco heating which adjusts the shape and the arrangement of the hole and a cartridge for tobacco heating, are provided.

A supporting member for tobacco heating 12 which is provided in between a cigarette filling aggregate 10 and an inhalation opening 14 of a cartridge for tobacco heating 1, the supporting member for tobacco heating 12 comprising: a first end surface 30; a second end surface 31; and a peripheral surface portion 32: wherein a hole 40 running through from the first end surface 30 to the second end surface 31 is formed, and the hole 40 has, on the first end surface 30 or the second end surface 31, a first through-hole 41 arranged so as not to include a central axis C of the peripheral surface portion 32.

Provided are: a fragrance-containing sheet for smoking articles, which includes moisture, modified cellulose, and fragrance such that fragrance can be dissolved at room temperature without a heating process; and a smoking article including the same.

A method of manufacturing an aerosol generating rod includes providing a sheet of a first non-tobacco material by using at least one first conveying roller; crimping the sheet of the first non-tobacco material by using a first crimping device; applying an aerosol generating material to at least one surface of the sheet of the first non-tobacco material by using a first spray nozzle; applying a liquid containing a tobacco component to at least one surface of the sheet of the first non-tobacco material by using a slit nozzle; drying the sheet of the first non-tobacco material by using a drying device; and forming the aerosol generating rod by forming the sheet of the first non-tobacco material into a rod by using a rod forming device.

A method for reducing the content of nitrosamines in a tobacco material is provided herein, the method involving the steps of contacting a tobacco material with a treatment solution so as to form a treatment composition containing, in addition to the tobacco material, an acid, a complexing agent, a solvent, and, optionally, a salt, at a pH of about 5.5 or less, to obtain a tobacco material having a tobacco-specific nitrosamine content that is lower than the initial tobacco-specific nitrosamine content. The method can optionally include further processing of the tobacco material. Smoking articles and other tobacco products incorporating such treated tobacco materials are also provided.

The present invention relates to a filter comprising a nonwoven substrate having a low density and comprising natural fibers and a binder. The filter can be used as a filter for a smoking or vaping article.

A cigarette mouthpiece is described. Embodiments of the cigarette mouthpiece include cigarette mouthpiece made from a strip of flexible material having a varying width. A width of the strip of flexible material can help determine a length of a user engagement portion and a cigarette engagement portion of the cigarette mouthpiece. The cigarette mouthpiece can have a substantially circular cross-sectional shape and a diameter of the cigarette mouthpiece can be adjustable. Typically, an outside diameter of the cigarette engagement portion can be altered to fit into differently sized rolled cigarettes.
