An aerosol generating article includes: an aerosol generating unit including an aerosol generating material; a tobacco filling unit arranged at a downstream end of the aerosol generating unit; a cooling unit arranged at a downstream end of the tobacco filling unit and configured to cool an aerosol; and a thread filter arranged at a downstream end of the cooling unit and including a filter portion and a thread portion which have different flow rates of the aerosol.

An aerosol-forming article is disclosed having an improved filter at its axial downstream end, for instance a mouthpiece end. The improved filter comprises a filter segment having a plurality of bores extending there through, wherein a cooling segment is arranged upstream of the filter segment, the cooling segment comprising portion having a central bore that forms a central region extending around a central axis of the aerosol-forming article and a center of each bore of the plurality of bores is arranged radially outside of the central region.

A conical rolling paper assembly for rolling a cigarette includes a rolling paper for rolling into a cigarette for smoking. The rolling paper is pre-formed into a conical shape having a narrow end that has a diameter is less than a wide end. Moreover, the rolling paper is rollable into a cone of a pre-determined diameter for having smoking material placed therein. The wide end of is inhaled through by a user and the narrow end is ignited for smoking. A filter is insertable into the wide end when the smoking material is positioned in the cone defined by the rolling paper. The filter has an air aperture extending therethrough to be inhaled through by the user for smoking the smoking material in the rolling paper.

A smoking article (10) includes a tobacco rod (“rod”) (12) and a mouthpiece (14) secured to a downstream end of the rod (12). The mouthpiece contains: a tubular element (20) defining a longitudinal channel, a downstream segment of filter material (24), and an extinguisher element (22). The tubular element (20) is provided adjacent the downstream end of the rod (12). The downstream segment of filter material (24) is downstream of the tubular element (20) and spaced apart from the tubular element (20) to define a cavity (26) between the tubular element (20) and the downstream segment of filter material (24). The extinguisher element (22) includes: a compressible reservoir (28) provided in the cavity (26) and containing liquid, a neck portion (30) extending upstream from the reservoir (28) and having an open end, and a seal (32) provided over the open end of the neck portion (30). The neck portion (30) is received in the longitudinal channel of the tubular element (20) such that the open end is proximate the downstream end of the rod (12).

The disclosure relates to delivery systems including aerosol-generating material and a cooling agent WS-3 in an amount sufficient to provide a cooling effect. In particular, the disclosure relates to delivery systems that do not provide any clearly noticeable smell or taste other than one of tobacco.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a smoking article including a smoking material portion which is wrapped with a smoking material wrapper, a filter portion which has an upstream end combined with the smoking material portion and is wrapped with a filter wrapper, and a tipping paper which wraps around the filter portion and at least a portion of the smoking material portion so that the smoking material portion and the filter portion are combined, wherein a design printing layer, an overprint (OP) coating layer, and a sweetener coating layer are disposed on a surface of the tipping paper.

A method of manufacturing an aerosol generating article includes: providing a tobacco rod including a susceptor having a form in which a plurality of strands are twisted together; providing a filter rod arranged at one end of the tobacco rod; and wrapping the tobacco rod and the filter rod with a wrapper.

An aerosol-generating article for producing an inhalable aerosol upon heating is provided, the aerosol-generating article including: a rod of aerosol-generating substrate; and a downstream section arranged downstream of the rod of aerosol-generating substrate and in axial alignment with the rod of aerosol-generating substrate, the downstream section including one or more downstream elements, the aerosol-generating article being arranged such that a center of mass of the aerosol-generating article is at least 60 percent of the way along a length of the aerosol-generating article from a downstream end.
