    Abstract: An aerosol-generating device (3) comprises an axially extending heating space (21). The heating space (21) is configured to at least partially receive an aerosol-generating article (5). The aerosol-generating device (3) comprises a heat receiving surface (25) provided outside of the heating space (21). The aerosol-generating device (3) comprises a heat storage body (31) and an inner heat conduction body (33). The heat storage body (31) is provided between the heat receiving surface (25) and the heating space (21). The inner heat conduction body (33) is provided between the heat storage body (31) and the heating space (21). A material of the heat storage body (31) has a higher specific heat capacity than a material of the inner heat conduction body (33). The material of the inner heat conduction body (33) has a higher thermal conductivity than the material of the heat storage body (31).

    Abstract: There is provided a smoking article (10) comprising: a charge (12) of tobacco material; a wrapper (14) circumscribing the charge (12) of tobacco material; a filter (16) arranged downstream of the charge (12) of tobacco material; and a hollow tube (18) defining an inner cavity (20) and attaching the filter (16) to the wrapper (14). An affixing portion (22) of the wrapper (14) is received within the inner cavity (20) and permanently secured to the hollow tube (18). A downstream end of the charge (12) of tobacco material is secured to the wrapper (14) by means of a thermally deactivatable adhesive (28) provided on an outer surface of the charge (12) of tobacco material or on an inner surface of the wrapper (14) or on both such that, upon deactivation of the adhesive (28), at least a portion of the charge (12) of tobacco material becomes slidable within the wrapper (14) in relation to the filter (16).

    Abstract: An aerosol generating article (10) comprises an aerosol generating substrate (12); a mouthpiece (14) comprising an element (20) defining a cavity having a longitudinal axis; and a particulate aerosol altering material (30) partially filling the cavity. The particulate aerosol altering material (30) is adhered to the cavity-defining segment (20) by means of a permanent adhesive provided over at least a portion of an inner surface of the cavity-defining segment (20) to define an aerosol passage (32) substantially concentric with the longitudinal axis of the cavity.

    Abstract: There is provided a smoking article comprising a filter. The filter comprises a hollow tube having an inner surface. The filter further comprises a flow restrictor disposed in the hollow tube, and adapted to divert at least a portion of the flow of mainstream smoke between an outer surface of the restrictor and the inner surface of the hollow tube. Furthermore, the filter comprises a retaining element disposed downstream of the flow restrictor, the retaining element having one or more openings. Each of the openings of the retaining element has at least one cross-sectional dimension that is smaller than the smallest cross-sectional dimension of the flow restrictor to prevent the flow restrictor from moving downstream of the retaining element. The flow restrictor is substantially spherical, at least one cross-sectional dimension of the one or more openings of the retaining element being smaller than the diameter of the flow restrictor.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a smoking article (8) comprising a smokeable material and a mouthpiece (1), the mouthpiece comprising at least three segments (2, 3, 5) in axial alignment. One segment defining a cavity (5) is disposed between two other segments (2, 3) and a fluid-containing breakable capsule (6) is arranged in the cavity. A first wrapper (4) circumscribes at least the cavity, wherein the first wrapper comprises a substantially smooth transparent section overlaying at least a part of the cavity, such that the capsule is at least partially visible through the first wrapper. The first wrapper has one or more layers of transparent varnish applied thereto. The invention further relates to a mouthpiece for a smoking article and a method of producing a smoking article.

    Abstract: There is provided an aerosol-generating article (10) comprising an aerosol-generating substrate (12) and a mouthpiece (14) secured to a downstream end of the aerosol-generating substrate (12). The mouth piece (14) comprises at least one segment of porous filter material (20) and a blocking segment (27) that impedes air flow downstream of the at least one segment of porous filter material (20). The blocking segment (27) comprises a segment of support material (22) having an annular shape defining a channel (24) extending through at least part of the segment of support material (22), and at least one freshener delivery element (26) contained within the channel (24). The blocking segment (27) comprising the at least one freshener delivery element (26) is detachable from the at least one segment of porous filter material (20) to decrease the resistance to draw of the aerosol-generating article (10).
