The disclosure provides a composition including nanocellulose and at least one active ingredient. Further provided is a fleece material including a nonwoven fabric and nanocellulose. The nanocellulose may be cellulose nanofibrils, nanocrystalline cellulose, or bacterial cellulose.

The disclosure provides pouched products configured for oral use, including a material within a porous pouch, where the porous pouch has four sides of small dimension, where the porous pouch has four sides of large dimension, and/or wherein the porous pouch has a shape other than square or rectangular, e.g., a rounded shape. The disclosure further provides methods of providing a modified mouthfeel with respect to conventional pouched products by providing pouched product in such sizes and/or shapes.

A pouched product adapted for release of a water-soluble component therefrom is provided herein. The pouched product can include an outer water-permeable pouch defining a cavity containing a composition that includes a water-soluble component capable of being released through the water-permeable pouch and has a surface area, wherein the outer water-permeable pouch can include a nonwoven web including fibers, wherein at least a portion of the fibers are selected from the group consisting of polyester fibers in an amount of 20% or greater based on the total weight of the fibers, tobacco-derived viscose, sisal fibers, corn silk fibers, long wood fibers, MCC fibers, and combinations thereof.

The disclosure provides oral products, the oral products including a fleece material that includes fibers and a releasable component. In some embodiments, oral products as described herein may be in the form of a pouchless product including a fleece material having a releasable component associated therewith, or in the form of a pouched product including a fleece material having a releasable component associated therewith in the form of a pouch, containing a substrate material therein.

A smoking article has an outer surface and a plurality of frangible microcapsules provided on the outer surface, wherein the microcapsules are capable of being manually ruptured by a consumer to release an odorant encapsulated therein. The smoking article preferably comprises a wrapped tobacco rod; and a filter attached to the wrapped tobacco rod by tipping paper, a mouth end portion of which is “over tipped” with a band or strip of “Peel and Sniff” microcapsules and/or a band or strip of “Scratch and Sniff” microcapsules.

A cigar tube is provided having an ash catcher and an ash collection cap, for receiving and containing lit or extinguished cigars for later consumption an elongated tubular member having opposite first and second ends and defining a hollow inner cavity disposed between the first and second ends adapted to receive and contain a cigar. The ash catcher is disposed within the inner cavity and has a generally planar body positioned transverse to the tubular member and has a plurality of apertures. A plurality of truncated cones project from the planar body such that each truncated cone preferably aligns with each respective aperture to provide substantially unidirectional ash passageways from the inner cavity to the ash collection cap. In a preferred embodiment, the truncated cones have a length sufficient to provide air space between the cones and the ash collection cap for the collection of ashes and dissipation of heat.

Methods and utensils are provided for administering plant extract(s) at controlled amount via smoking, as well as for providing complexes of honey and plant extracts. Plant extract(s) may be used in utensils that are inserted into a smoking appliance, and have indications of the compounds and/or characteristics of the plant extract. Upon smoking the smoking appliance, the plant extracts may be inhaled in pre-defined amounts. Using plant extracts in such way enables standardization of amounts and components thereof, and may be particularly applicable to cannabis oils. Furthermore, complexes of honey and plant extracts may be provided by letting bees step on or be soiled by plant extracts on their way into the beehive, causing them to incorporate the plant extracts into the honey preparation process. Resulting complexes may be a preferable and particularly beneficial way of administering plant extracts, e.g., cannabis extracts.

Disclosed is a material for wrapping a smoking article (1), comprising wrapper (3) material and a flavourant patch (10), wherein said flavourant patch comprises a botanical material other than tobacco. Also disclosed is a smoking article including a rod of smokeable material (2), a wrapper (3) about said rod of smokeable material, and a flavourant patch (10) at a position along the length of the rod of smokeable material; wherein the flavourant patch includes a botanical material other than tobacco. Also disclosed is a material for wrapping a smoking article (101), comprising wrapper material (103), a first tobacco flavour patch (110) and a second tobacco flavour patch (111), the first and second tobacco flavour patches being configured such that, when the material is wrapped about a rod of smokeable material, the first and second tobacco flavour patches will each be at a different position along the rod of smokeable material. Also disclosed is a smoking article (101) including a rod of smokeable material (102), a wrapper (103) about said rod of smokeable material, a first tobacco flavour patch (110) at a first position along the length of the rod of smokeable material, and a second tobacco flavour patch (111) at a second position along the length of the rod of smokeable material, the first position being different from the second position; wherein the first tobacco flavour patch and the second tobacco flavour patch do not contain a flavourant other than tobacco. Also disclosed are methods for producing the disclosed smoking articles.

The present invention provides a delivery vehicle for functionalizing an aerosol in proximity to the delivery vehicle, wherein the delivery vehicle comprises a porous substrate material comprising at least one porous thermoplastic polymer and at least one formulation held within the thermoplastic polymer, wherein the formulation comprises at least one functionalizing component and the porous thermoplastic polymer has a formulation loading capacity of at least 30% w/w based on the porous substrate.

Methods and apparatuses for the customization of tobacco and Cannabis smoking products including formulations for onserts, precision rods and precision pods for harm reduction products particularly for those who simultaneously smoke or vape tobacco and marijuana, as well as methods and apparatuses for blending a salt of nicotine in crystalline form and one or more cannabinoids in crystalline form for a precision pod for use in a vaporizer.
