Protective cigarette pack case
A protective cigarette pack case having a top portion and a bottom portion whereby the bottom portion. The bottom portion can be a unitary piece or can be formed a front portion and back portion. The bottom portion is adapted to receive a cigarette hard pack bottom portion and the lid portion is adapted to be inserted onto a cigarette hard pack lid. The bottom portion has protruding ears. The lid portion further has a back panel whereby a bottom edge of the back panel has an inward bend that allows the lid portion to engage the paper on a lid of a cigarette hard pack such that it is held in tight communication. The lid portion utilizes the paper hinge of a hard cigarette pack thereby eliminating the need for any hinged apparatus in the protective cigarette pack case.
Airtight child resistant case with elongated compartments
A package for preserving freshness and storing elongated items. The package is preferably biodegradable, substantially airtight, child resistant and reusable. Various seal constructions are described for sealing a case body portion against a case lid portion. The respective sealing surfaces of the case lid portion and case body portion are complementary, but spaced. A continuous elastomeric seal is provided in the seal space between the complementary sealing surfaces. The seal is configured to be compressed along the entire sealing length of the sealing surface when the case lid portion is pivoted into the latched position. The compressed elastomeric seal provides a spring force that retains the latch in the latched position and a spring force that is resolved into sealing vectors perpendicular to the sealing surface along the entire length of the sealing surface to ensure a seal along the sealing surface.

Aerosol delivery device including a moveable cartridge and related assembly method
The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices. The aerosol delivery devices may include a housing and a cartridge including an atomizer and a reservoir configured to contain an aerosol precursor composition. The cartridge may be configured to move relative to at least a portion of the housing between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration. Related assembly methods are also provided.
E-cigarette personal vaporizer
A user-replaceable e-liquid reservoir for dispensing e-liquid, the reservoir being inserted into, or otherwise attached to, a portable, personal e-cigarette device and engaging with an electrical or electronic pump fluid transfer system in the device, the device including: an electrical or electronic pump, being configured to transfer e-liquid from the e-liquid reservoir to an atomizing unit in the device, the pump delivering a pre-defined or variable quantity of e-liquid from the reservoir; and in which the reservoir is not user-refillable.
Method of displaying electronic vaping device, display packages with divider, blanks for forming display package for containing electronic vaping device, and method of manufacturing display package for electronic vaping device
The package includes a box structure defining an inner cavity and a side portion. The box structure includes a front panel, a back panel, a first side panel and a second side panel. The side portion is divided into a lower retention portion, an upper retention portion, and a window recess portion. The window recess portion, the upper retention portion and the lower retention portion is configured to retain the elongated body within the side portion to display the select portion through the window recess portion. A divider panel is in the inner cavity. The divider panel has a first end and a second end, the first end of the divider panel being connected to the second side panel. The divider panel is configured to support a universal serial bus (USB) charger to maintain the USB charger in a fixed position within the inner cavity. The blank forms the package.

Smoking article and method for a cigar or cigarillo having a longitudinal bore for adjustable draw
A smoking article provides a purchased, as-built cigar that can be disassembled to form multiple cigars, enabling a consumer to make his or her own cigars using custom tobacco filler. The as-built cigar is capped as part of its construction, preferably at one end or at both ends. A smoker removes the cap or caps to enable smoking of the as-built cigar or disassembly into layers. Each layer can then be rolled with a smoker's custom tobacco. The inner layer contains tobacco filler. Upon disassembly, the inner layer and tobacco filler can be smoked. Alternatively, the inner layer can be pulled apart at a provided serration to discard the tobacco filler and then filled and rolled with a smoker's custom tobacco filler material.
E-CIGARETTE PERSONAL VAPORIZER
An e-cigarette PV that includes an air pressure valve or device so that excess air can escape from an e-liquid reservoir in the PV when that reservoir is being filled under pressure with e-liquid from a parent reservoir. The valve or device is a barrier made of an air-porous material, such as a sintered polymer or metal, coated with or otherwise including a barrier or layer of an air-porous substance that is not porous to e-liquid, such as an oleophobic material or a hydrophobic or super-hydrophobic material. The oleophobic material is one of: sintered phosphor bronze, sintered stainless steel and sintered PU plastic.
