Embodiment Construction

[0009] Refer below figure 1 and figure 2 Various aspects and embodiments of the invention are described in relation to various smoking articles, the arrangement of their components, and the manner in which these smoking articles contain outer wrap components. In all figures, the same components are denoted by the same numerals. In the figures, the thickness of the various wrapping materials and the outer wrapping of the various smoking articles and smoking article components are exaggerated. The wrapping material and outerwrap component preferably wrap tightly around the smoking article and smoking article components to provide a snug fit and provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0010] refer to figure 1 , which shows a representative smoking article 10 in the form of a cigarette. The smoking article 10 is rod-shaped and includes a lighting end 14 and a mouthpiece end 18 .

[0011] Disposed at the cigarette lighter end 14 is a longitudinally extending, generall...

Abstract

A cigarette includes lighting and mouth ends. It may include a smokable segment disposed at the lighting end. It also includes a mouth-end segment; an aerosol-generation system disposed between the lighting and mouth ends, which includes (i) a heat-generation segment adjacent the smokable segment, including a heat source configured to be activated by combustion of a smokable material and an insulation layer of a non-glass material that is woven, knit, or both, and (ii) an aerosol-generating segment with aerosol-forming material disposed between, but physically separate from, each of the heat generation segment and the mouth end; a piece of outer wrapping material that provides an overwrap around at least a portion of the aerosol-generating segment, the heat-generation segment, and at least a portion of the smokable segment; those segments being connected together by the overwrap to provide a cigarette rod; that is connected to the cigarette rod using tipping material.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to products prepared or derived from tobacco, or containing tobacco and intended for human consumption. The present application relates generally to smoking articles, such as cigarettes, and in particular to components and construction of segmented smoking articles. Background technique [0002] A common smoking article such as a cigarette has a substantially cylindrical rod-shaped structure comprising a stick, roll or column of smokable material, such as shredded tobacco (for example in the form of tobacco filler), surrounded by a paper wrapping , thereby forming a so-called "smokable stick", "tobacco stick" or "cigarette stick". Typically, cigarettes have a cylindrical filter element aligned with the tobacco rod in an end-to-end fashion. The filter element preferably comprises plasticized cellulose acetate tow bound by a paper material called a "plug wrap". The filter element is preferably attached to one end of the t...
