A smoking article is provided, including a combustible carbonaceous heat source having opposed front and rear end faces; an aerosol-forming substrate downstream of the rear end face of the combustible carbonaceous heat source; an ignitable composition provided on at least a portion of the front end face of the combustible carbonaceous heat source; and one or more airflow pathways along configured to allow air to be drawn through the smoking article for inhalation, the ignitable composition being configured to be ignited by striking the front end face on a frictional surface, and being isolated from the one or more airflow pathways such that air drawn along the one or more airflow pathways does not directly contact the ignitable composition.

The present invention relates generally to electronic smoking devices and in particular to a tray for at least a portion of an electronic smoking device.

The tray (100) comprises at least one cavity (101) for containing the portion. The tray (100) is configured to be reversibly deformed from a default form into a deformed form by finger interaction with interaction elements of the tray (100) having a distance to each other of at least 90% of the average distance between thumb tip and index finger tip or a middle finger tip of an adult. The tray (100) is configured to return to the default form once the finger interaction is terminated. The default form provides the at least one cavity (101) for containing the portion in an inaccessible manner and the deformed form is required for accessing the portion.

A container for smoking articles has an outer housing including a hinged lid rotatable between open and closed positions. An inner package has an access opening through which smoking articles can be removed. The access opening can be covered by a reclosable flap when the hinged lid is in the closed position. With the lid in the closed position, the reclosable flap forms an overlap region with a surface of the inner package that extends around the periphery of the access opening. The overlap region includes a first adhering region to releasably affix the surface of the inner package and the reclosable flap, and a first non-adhering region. The first non-adhering region includes a portion of the periphery of the access opening.

The present disclosure is directed to provide a package which enables repeated opening and sealing of an opening, and can be favorably closed by bringing a pair of resin adhesive parts into contact with each other while preventing sticking of materials to each resin adhesive part. A package of the present disclosure comprises a main body having an internal space and an opening in communication between the internal space and an outside; and a pair of, i.e., two, resin adhesive parts which are disposed so as to be capable of being brought into contact with each other for sealing the opening. Here, the 90-degree peel force between the pair of resin adhesive parts is 0.02 N or more, the coefficient of dynamic friction of each of the two resin adhesive parts is 1.50 or less, and the tack force of each of the two resin adhesive parts is 1.60 N or less.

The present invention is directed to a pouch pack made up of a plurality of pouches where each pouch is a re-sealable container for preserving single or multiple cigars or single or multiple cigar tobacco leaves. A perforation allows the pouch pack to be separated into the individual pouches without damage to the pouches. A vent/seal allows the atmosphere in the pouch to be controlled. A form encases the cigar tobacco leaf in the pouch pack while allowing the cigar tobacco leaf to equilibrate with the atmosphere in the pouch which is controlled by one or more of a humectant, a vent/seal and a sensor to control the humidity in the pouch. In an embodiment of the invention, the form is one or more wrapped cigar tobacco leaves. A mold protects a cigar or a cigar tobacco leaf from damage by an external force exerted on the pouch or pouch pack.

An elongate web of wrapping material having a longitudinal axis and a series of lines of weakening spaced from each other in a direction along the axis is disclosed. Each line of weakening is configured to form an extraction opening for the removal of smoking articles from a bundle of smoking articles wrapped in a longitudinal section of the wrapping material cut from the web. A portion of each line of weakening extends in a longitudinal direction, and at least a part of said portion extends at an angle to the longitudinal axis. A method of manufacturing an elongate web of wrapping material is also disclosed.

A container (10) for consumer goods comprising: an outer housing (12) comprising a box (14) and a lid (16), the lid (16) being hinged to the box (14) along a hinge line extending across a back wall of the outer housing (12); and a package (18) of consumer goods within the box (14). A reclosable sealing cover member(100) occludes an access opening (20) in the package. The reclosable sealing cover member (100) comprises: a base layer (102) comprising a fibrous cellulosic material; a metal-containing layer (104) provided on an outer side of the base layer (102); and a first polymeric layer (106) provided on an inner side of the base layer (102).

A child-resistant storage container comprising two rigid boxes of relatively equal height and width manufactured from or coated with materials that produce enough friction between the contact points of the boxes to retain the inner box in the outer box when shook.

An apparatus for producing a filmic packaging material having a continuously folded portion includes a first component having a protruding part; a first roller rollable on its longitudinal axis, the first roller provided with a recess on its outer surface for receiving the protruding part; a drive mechanism for moving the material along a path in a manner such that a continuous portion of the material is drawn into the recess of the first roller by the protruding part of the first component such that the continuous portion of the material is folded, forming a continuously folded portion having an overlapping surface due to the arrangement of the protruding part of the first component in relation to the recess of the first roller; a bonding component provided downstream of the first roller arranged to adhere together the overlapping surface of the continuously folded portion of the material.
