A device for use while burning smoking material and inhaling the resulting smoke is disclosed. The device can include a filter having a recess formed in a surface of a 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. The device may be received by a first end a tubular member formed to receive a smoking material, that when burned passes smoke into the device.

An article for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system includes a source of aerosol-generating material and/or a cavity for receiving a source of aerosol generating material, and a downstream section, the downstream section including a capsule at a location between about 28 mm and about 38 mm from a distal end of the source of aerosol-generating material and/or said cavity. There is also described a non-combustible aerosol provision system including the article.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a smoking article filter having a flavoring agent uniformly distributed in the smoking article filter, which is in a solid state at room temperature and includes at least one natural wax and a flavoring component soaked into the at least one natural wax.

Provided is an aerosol generating system including a holder configured to generate aerosol by heating a cigarette; and a cradle including an inner space into which the holder is inserted. The holder is configured to be tiltable with respect the cradle. The holder is inserted into the inner space of the cradle and then tilted to generate the aerosol.

A filter strip is provided for rolling sheets to construct custom cigars and/or cigarettes. The filter strip may be made of a deformable material which can be positioned on one end of the rolling sheet. The filter strip can be folded in a zig zag or spiral filter section with open section located longitudinally below to form a filter tip. The filter tip can assist the user in rolling by hand a substantially cylindrical or conical cigar or cigarette. The filter tip prevents tobacco filler material from being drawn through the cigar or cigarette and into a user's mouth, and permits the entire amount of tobacco filler to be consumed/smoked without risking burned hands and/or lips.

An aerosol-generating article with improved cooling performance and flavor persistence and a method of producing the same are provided. The aerosol-generating article according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may include an aerosol-forming substrate part and a cooling part disposed downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate part and configured to cool an aerosol formed in the aerosol-forming substrate part, and a sheet-type material may be disposed on an inner wall of the cooling part. Here, the sheet-type material is a material including a flavoring and may serve as a cooling material as well as a flavor expressing material to improve cooling performance and flavor persistence of the aerosol-generating article.

There is provided a filter unit for a smoking article having a tube formed from filter material and the tube having a first portion and a second portion, wherein an inner diameter of the first portion is different from an inner diameter of the second portion. There is also provided a tube having a longitudinal axis, wherein a straight line following at least a portion of an internal or external surface of the tube intersects the longitudinal axis at an angle other than 90°. Also described is a body or tube of filter material having a longitudinal axis, a first end surface and a second end surface, said body or tube formed from a plurality of continuous fibres extending between said first and second end surfaces, wherein the density of said filter material is greater at said first end surface than at said second end surface. A body of filter material is also described having a longitudinal axis and a channel or recess formed in the body of filter material, the shape of said body of filter material having no lines of reflective symmetry, as well as a body formed from filter material, the body having an end surface and a recess formed in the end surface. A smoking article including the filter unit and a kit comprising a smoking article and a filter unit are also described.
