The present disclosure also relates to an article wherein said tube has an axial length of at least 12 mm and is located adjacent to the aerosol generating material, and wherein said tube has a wall thickness of at least 325 microns and/or the wall has a permeability of at least 100 Coresta Units. The present disclosure also relates to an article for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system, the article comprising: an aerosol generating material; a downstream portion downstream of the aerosol generating material: a first wrapper comprising sheet material: and, a component that abuts at least a portion of the first wrapper, wherein the first wrapper comprises a plurality of formations configured such that one or more gaps are provided between the first wrapper and the component. The present disclosure also relates to a non-combustible aerosol provision system.

An article for use as or as part of a non-combustible aerosol provision system includes an aerosol generating material including at least one aerosol forming material, a hollow tubular member disposed downstream of the aerosol generating material, a first substantially cylindrical body disposed downstream of the hollow tubular body and a second substantially cylindrical body adjacent to and downstream of the first substantially cylindrical body, the second substantially cylindrical body being disposed at the mouth end of the article. A method of forming an article and a non-combustible aerosol provision system including the article are also provided.

An aerosol-generating article according to one aspect of the present disclosure may include a tobacco medium portion, a filter portion disposed to be spaced apart from the tobacco medium portion, a cooling portion disposed between the tobacco medium portion and the filter portion, and a heat transfer portion surrounding at least a portion of the cooling portion.

The present invention is directed toward cigar and method for making the same. The cigar comprises a first layer and filler. The first layer is disposed in retaining relation to the filler to define a wrapped configuration. The wrapped configuration includes an elongated configuration and an open end, the open end dimensioned and configured to expose a corresponding portion of the filler there through. The first layer includes a distal end disposed in overlaying, covering relation to at least a portion of an outer periphery of the open end to at least partially define a cigar lock. The cigar lock includes a perforated construction disposed and structured to facilitate ventilation of the filler. The perforated construction includes at least one perforation extending through the distal end in communicating relation with said filler.

A smoking article for use with an apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, the article includes a body of smokable material and a filter assembly. The filter assembly includes a cooling segment of between 20 mm and 30 mm in length for cooling the volatilized at least one component of the smokable material, a filter segment adjacent to the cooling segment for filtering the volatilized at least one component of the smokable material and a mouth end segment adjacent to the filter segment for being received in a mouth of a user. The cooling segment is located between the body of smokable material and the filter segment.

A smoking article for insertion into an apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, the smoking article including a body of smokable material and a filter assembly. The filter assembly includes a cooling segment, a filter segment adjacent to the cooling segment and a mouth end segment adjacent to the filter segment for being received in a mouth of a user. The smoking article is arranged so that when the smoking article is fully inserted into the apparatus a first section of the cooling segment is within the apparatus and a second section of the cooling segment extends outside of the apparatus. The second section of the cooling segment includes a ventilation region to enable air to pass into the cooling segment to mix with the volatilized at least one component of the smokable material.

A filter or filter element comprising a longitudinally extending (e.g. cylindrical) rod of filtering material including a longitudinally extending channel which extends along the full length of the filter or filter element.

A smoking article and a method of manufacturing a smoking article A smoking article has a filter section for receiving smoke and/or other aerosol generated by said smoking article, a variable ventilation arrangement configured to provide a user controllable level of ventilation into the filter section and a flavour source configured to release flavour to said smoke and/or other aerosol generated by said smoking article at a location in said smoke and/or other aerosol upstream of said ventilation arrangement.

An aerosol-generating article is provided for producing an inhalable aerosol upon heating, the article extending from a mouth end to a distal end and including: an aerosol-generating element having a diameter from about 6 millimetres to about 7.5 millimetres and including an aerosol-generating substrate, the substrate including an aerosol-former; and a downstream section at a location downstream of the aerosol-generating element and extending from a downstream end of the aerosol-generating element to the mouth end of the aerosol-generating article, the downstream section including a hollow tubular element and a ventilation zone at a location along the hollow tubular element, the aerosol-generating article having a ventilation level of at least about 10 percent, a length to diameter ratio of the aerosol-generating element being from about 0.5 to about 2.75, the substrate further including tobacco cut filler, and an aerosol-former content in the substrate being at least about 8 percent by weight.

An aerosol generating article is provided, including a combustible heat source; an aerosol forming substrate downstream of the combustible heat source; and a wrapper circumscribing at least a rear portion of the combustible heat source and at least a front portion of the aerosol forming substrate, wherein a plurality of weakness formations are provided on a region of the wrapper overlying the combustible heat source, and wherein the wrapper is rupturable at the plurality of weakness formations and is configured to form a ventilation zone comprising a plurality of apertures extending through the wrapper.
