AUTOMATED DEPOSITION OF HIGHLY VISCOUS FLUIDS INTO THIN-WALLED CYLINDERS
Disclosed are systems and methods for automatic infusion of concentrate and distillate material into cigarettes or other containers. In one embodiment, a thermally-controlled infusion system is provided. The system can maintain a selected temperature of the concentrate material throughout the infusion process, using a two-stage approach. In a first stage, the concentrate material is pressure-fed to a dosing chamber. In the second stage, the concentrate material is pumped into an insertion canula and into a cigarette or container. A revolver houses the cigarettes or containers and vertically transitions them to an insertion position, where the insertion canula can infuse the cigarettes or containers.

BREAKABLE CAPSULES AND METHODS OF FORMING THEREOF
A breakable capsule such as a seamless breakable capsule useful in a smoking article or a smokeless tobacco product includes an outer shell formed of a cross-linked agar matrix including at least one filler, and an inner core surrounded by the outer shell which comprises a liquid or gel based composition of a flavorant and/or non-flavorant. The cross-linked agar matrix is reinforced with carboxymethyl cellulose that is dispersed throughout the agar matrix so as to fill empty spaces in the agar matrix and inhibit the composition from passing through the empty spaces of the agar matrix.
SUBSTRATE MATERIAL COMPRISING BEADS FOR AEROSOL DELIVERY DEVICES
The present disclosure provides a composite substrate configured for use in aerosol generating components for aerosol delivery devices. The composite substrate includes a first substrate material and a second substrate material attached thereto. The first substrate material includes a first filler, a first binder, and a first aerosol forming material, and the second substrate material includes a second filler and a second binder. Further provided are a process for making the composite substrate, and aerosol generating components and aerosol delivery devices including the composite substrate. Such devices utilize electrically generated heat or combustible ignition sources to heat the composite substrate, providing an inhalable substance in the form of an aerosol.
CRYSTALLINE COATED HERBAGE HAVING A CONSISTENT CANNABINOID CONCENTRATION
Herbage such as cannabis flower having a thin coating including crystallized cannabinoids having an average diameter of less than 100 microns. The thin coating is in a ratio of no more than 1:10 on a weight to weight basis so that the total cannabinoid content of the herbage does not exceed 35% by weight. THCA crystals in the form of granules or powder to coat the herbage. In one embodiment, the herbage is heated to less than 100 degrees F. to enable the coating to adhere. The coating improves structural integrity of the herbage so it resists crushing when transported or stacked in a container or during storage. The coating inhibits deleterious interactions between the herbage and ambient air while achieving a standardized THC.sub.total content.
FLAVORING MECHANISM FOR A TOBACCO RELATED MATERIAL
A container configured to store a tobacco-related material is provided herein. The container may include a top cover and a body portion. The body portion is configured to operably engage the top cover to substantially enclose an internal space defined by the top cover. The internal space is configured to retain a substrate material therein. The container includes a sensory precursor delivery device configured to retain a sensory precursor composition and provide the sensory precursor composition, on demand, to the internal space.
