A smoking article is formed from two component parts. These parts are a rod comprising an aerosol-forming substrate and a removable cap. The removable cap can be coupled to the rod in two configurations. In a first configuration, the removable cap is coupled to a first end of the rod and a heat source located at or near a second end of the rod heats the aerosol-forming substrate to generate an inhalable aerosol. In a second configuration, the removable cap is coupled to the second end of the rod and at least substantially covers the heat source. The smoking article is arranged in the second configuration for disposal.

An aerosol-generating article is provided, including: a substrate portion containing an aerosol-forming substrate; and a connect portion disposed at one end of the aerosol-generating article in direct abutment with the substrate portion, the connect portion having a tubular empty core structure, the substrate portion having a length of between 20 millimeters and 60 millimeters, and a diameter of between 4 millimeters and 7 millimeters, the aerosol-forming substrate including an aerosol former, and an amount of the aerosol former ranges between 6 percent and 20 percent by weight on a dry weight basis of the aerosol-forming substrate. An aerosol-generating system including the aerosol-generating article and an aerosol-generating device, and a method for manufacturing the aerosol-generating article, are also provided.

An aerosol-generating article for producing an inhalable aerosol upon heating is provided, the article including: a rod of aerosol-generating substrate; a hollow tubular segment at a location downstream of the rod, being in longitudinal alignment with the rod, and defining a cavity extending from an upstream end to a downstream end of the hollow tubular segment; a mouthpiece segment downstream of the hollow tubular segment and including a plug of filtration material and a mouth end recess downstream of the plug; and a ventilation zone along the hollow tubular segment less than 20 millimetres from a downstream end of the article and including one or more rows of perforations formed through a peripheral wall of the hollow tubular segment, and the rod including at least an aerosol former and having an aerosol former content of at least about 12 percent on a dry weight basis.

A cigarette filling packed body and an electronic cigarette cartridge provide a filled packing while ensuring excellent airflow within the cigarette filling packed body. Elongated cigarette fillings are packed into a bundle shape with an outer peripheral portion wrapped around by a sheet-shaped packaging body. Each filling is formed such that, in a cross section orthogonal to the a direction, the dimension in the long-side direction is longer than the dimension in the short-side direction. Each of the cigarette fillings in an outermost peripheral portion are in contact with the packaging body and have a long-side direction oriented following the circumferential direction. The cigarette fillings are oriented particularly to enhance air flow.

An aerosol-generating article is provided, including: a rod of aerosol-generating substrate including an aerosol former, the substrate having an aerosol former content of greater than 10 percent on a dry weight basis; a hollow tubular support element positioned immediately downstream of the rod; an aerosol-cooling element downstream of the support element, the aerosol-cooling element extending all the way to a downstream end of the article, the aerosol-cooling element including a hollow tubular segment having a transverse wall at a location between an upstream end and a downstream end of the hollow tubular segment, such that it defines a first cavity upstream of the transverse wall and a second cavity downstream of the transverse wall, and the transverse wall including one or more openings establishing a fluid communication between the first cavity and the second cavity.

A mouthpiece for an article for use in an aerosol provision system. The mouthpiece can have a section having a longitudinal axis and a cross sectional area measured perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis, the section including a fibrous material having a total denier of between 300 and 500 grams/9000 m per mm2 of said cross sectional area. The section can additionally or alternatively have a fibrous material having a total denier of between 200 and 600 grams/9000 m per mm2 of said cross sectional area and at least one of more than 75 fibers per mm2 of said cross sectional area and a denier per filament of less than 9.0 grams/9000 m. A section of fibrous material can have a denier per filament of less than 5.0 grams/9000 m and a capsule embedded within the fibrous material, wherein the section has an outer circumference of less than 21 mm.

An article for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system, the article comprising an aerosol generating material, a mouthpiece downstream of the aerosol generating material and a wrapper, wherein the wrapper comprises a sensate material. Also, a method of manufacturing the article and a system comprising the article and a device for heating the aerosol generating material.

An aerosol generating assembly includes an aerosol generating device (100) having a coil and an aerosol generating article. The aerosol generating article has a substantially cylindrical rod of aerosol generating material of between about .sub.10 mm and about 1.sub.00 mm looms in length, and the article and device are arranged with respect to each other such that the aerosol generating material is heatable by the device. The aerosol generating material can have at least .sub.1-1 mg of nicotine and/or at least about .sub.17 mg of aerosol generating agent.

A method of manufacturing a smoking article including a tube filter includes preparing a smoking material portion, a first tube filter flavored by a first flavoring liquid, and a mouthpiece flavored by a second flavoring liquid; and combining and packaging the smoking material portion, the first tube filter, and the mouthpiece with a wrapper, wherein the preparing comprises applying the first flavoring liquid inside the first tube filter through a hollow of the first tube filter.

A smoking article provides one or more sheets of material that can be rolled to a tube or shell or tube-like shape and then packaged in an unfilled or partially filled condition, one end portion of the tube or shell or tube-like shape being at least partially closed. In one embodiment, multiple sheets are rolled layers that can optionally be wrapped around a form casing (or pre-rolled inside) and then packaged with one end closed or partially closed. In another embodiment, a rod that assists in loading tobacco into the shell cavity is provided. In one embodiment, the plug takes the form of a mouthpiece.
