A flavor inhaler (100) comprises a cup (50) having a cup shape. The cup is inserted into the holder (30) in a direction in which an opening of the cup is directed toward the ignition end side and a bottom plate (52) of the cup is arranged at the non-ignition end side. The cup has a claw portion (54) that protrudes into an inside of the cup from an inner wall surface of a side wall (51) of the cup. The claw portion has at least an engagement portion (54A) that engages an end surface of the combustion type heat source (70) in a non-ignition end side.

A smoking composition comprises an aerosol-forming substrate and a flavour precursor compound. Upon heating, the precursor compound releases a thiol-containing flavour compound or intermediate that enhances the flavour experience of the aerosol-forming substrate when used in a smoking article. The smoking article may include tobacco and may be configured to heat, but not combust, the tobacco.

A smoking article is provided and has opposed lighting and mouth ends. A mouth end portion is disposed at the mouth end and a heat generation portion is disposed about the lighting end. An outer wrapping material is wrapped at least about the heat generation portion and extends toward the mouth end portion, to define a cylindrical rod. An aerosol-generating portion is disposed within the outer wrapping material and between the heat generation and mouth end portions. The aerosol-generating portion is configured to generate an aerosol in response to heat received from the heat generation portion. Heat from the heat generation portion for aerosol formation is provided by igniting a combustible fuel element (e.g., a plurality of parts or pieces of clean burning carbonaceous material) located within an enclosed heat generation cartridge.

An aerosol-generating article is provided, including: an aerosol-forming substrate configured to be heated to generate an aerosol, the aerosol-generating article not including an aerosol-forming substrate that is configured to be combusted to produce smoke; and an outermost wrapper around at least a portion of the aerosol-forming substrate, an outer surface of the outermost wrapper forming at least part of an outer surface of the aerosol-generating article, the outermost wrapper including a metallized substrate including a substrate layer and a metal layer radially outward of the substrate layer, and the substrate layer being coated with the metal layer by vapour deposition.

A flavor inhaler comprising: a tubular holder that extends from a mouthpiece end to a distal end; a combustion type heat source that is provided at the distal end, contains activated carbon, and carries a first flavorant; and a flavor source that is held in the holder and carries a second flavorant, wherein the first flavorant contains at least one selected from the group consisting of anethole, 2-pinene, 3-citronellol, linalyl acetate, limonene, anisaldehyde, 4-terpineol, 2-β-pinene, jasmone, sabinene, linalool, 1,8-cineole, phenethyl alcohol, and myristicin, and the second flavorant contains at least one selected from the group consisting of α-terpinene, γ-terpinene, nerol, geraniol, and decanal.

The present disclosure is directed to an aerosol delivery device and a holder for use with a removable substrate cartridge. In one implementation, the holder includes a main body defining a proximal end and a distal end, and an outer sleeve configured to slide relative to the main body, the outer sleeve also defining a proximal end and a distal end. The outer sleeve is configured to slide to a use position, in which the proximal end of the main body extends beyond the proximal end of the outer sleeve and the distal end of the outer sleeve extends beyond the distal end of the main body, and a storage position, in which the distal end of the main body extends beyond the distal end of the outer sleeve and the proximal end of the outer sleeve substantially covers the proximal end of the main body.
