Smoking article include a smokable material and an activated carbon particle downstream of the smokable material. The activated carbon particle is produced from a whole seed. The activated carbon particle has a length, width and height. At least two of the length width and height are independently in a range from about 1 mm to about 7.5 mm. The particles can be spheroids, in which case the length, width and height would be the same or similar.

The aerosol-generating article (1) comprises a tobacco element and a mouthpiece element. The tobacco element comprises an aerosol-forming substrate (2), a support element (3) arranged downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate (2) and an aerosol-cooling element (4) arranged downstream of the support element. The mouthpiece element comprises a filter segment (5) and a hollow tube (6). The aerosol-cooling element (4) has a length of at most 15 millimeter. A length of the mouthpiece element is adapted according to the length of the aerosol-cooling element (4) such that a total length of the aerosol-generating article (1) is kept at a predefined total length. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing aerosol-generating articles.

Kit for producing a cigarette includes a cigarette tube holding a smoking material, a funnel having a length, a top face, a bottom face, and funnel includes a fold line along which bottom face of funnel is folded relative to the top face to form a slot and a closed bottom face. The funnel receives the smoking material through the slot and fills the funnel with smoking material for filling the cigarette tube. The cigarette tube is filled with the smokable material. The funnel is rollable into a filter, and the filter is inserted into an end of the cigarette tube, and the filter filters smoke from the smoking material and the cigarette tube when the cigarette tube and the smoking material are ignited. There is likewise a method of making a cigarette using the kit.

A smoking product and method of making thereof for the consumption of a smokable substance. The product has a hollow conical shape that allows for the easy insertion of smokable substances. Additionally, the conical or frustoconical shape of the product provides for larger amounts of smokable substances in the end of the product the consumer lights, resulting in an initial slower prolonged burn. Additionally, the product includes a supporting filter tip with a frangible capsule contained therein and is packaged for sale in packaging in an unfilled state allowing a user to remove the product from the packaging, fill it with the user's selected custom smokable filler and form a custom smoking product.

Apparatus and method for forming a tube of planar material suitable for use as a casing for a cigarette. In some embodiments, a cone is disposed within an interior chamber of a housing, the cone having an annular base and a tapered portion extending from the annular base. The tapered portion has a frusto-conically shaped outer surface. A body portion is attachable to the annular base of the cone to induce rotation of the cone with respect to the housing. Rotation of the cone enables wrapping of a planar material, such as a rolling paper or a blunt sheet, about the cone to form a hollow tube having a frusto-conical shape. In further embodiments, a grinder assembly presses organic smokable material through a screen to direct the material through the body portion and into the tube. Filter media can be incorporated into the tube as desired.

A cigarette-rolling kit system and method for forming a cigarette with shredded leaf enclosed in rolling paper, providing a forming block having a major-arcuate trough and a semicircular trough, a pushing tab, a leveling slider, a tamping cylinder, and a leaf shreds preparation tool, where the major-arcuate trough retains the forming cigarette and guides the initial rolling, and the semicircular trough guides the final rolling.

A cone shaped cigarette with hard tip and method for manufacture where a cone shaped paper encasement can contain shredded botanical material and a hard tip member having an inhaling aperture is inserted into the small end of the cone shaped paper encasement by an FDA approved adhesive. A filter member can be inserted into the tip of the hard tip member. A preferred embodiment includes the hard tip member being made of borosilicate glass. The hard tip member can be cylindrical in shape or cone shaped to match the side walls of the paper encasement. A preferred embodiment includes the glass hard tip member being transparent and the filter member is colored allowing the filter member to be viewed through the glass hard tip member.

A filter unit for a smoking article includes a tube having a first portion and a second portion, wherein an inner diameter of the first portion is different from an inner diameter of the second portion. The filter unit also includes a sleeve at least partially surrounding the tube. Also described are a smoking article having the filter unit and a kit including a smoking article and the filter unit.

An additive for a cigarette for smoking a smoking medium comprises a non-flammable carrier, a body of semisolid cannabis extract oil for consumption by smoking that is supported on the carrier in a manner so as to leave a gripping portion of the carrier which is uncovered by the semisolid cannabis extract oil such that the gripping portion protrudes from the body of semisolid cannabis extract oil for handling. Additionally, there is disclosed a holder for a cigarette that includes a non-flammable gripping portion for handling the cigarette and a transversely enlarged filter portion defining a fluidic passageway to enable combustion smoke to pass through the same, where both the gripping and filter portions are arranged to be located within the tubular container of the cigarette. Furthermore, there is disclosed a method for forming a cigarette including an internally located holder distinct from the tubular container of the cigarette.
