Abstract: A smoking article assembly (100) comprising a smoking article (80), and a tube (10) for temporary affixment to the smoking article. The smoking article comprises a tobacco rod, and a mouthpiece comprising a filter and a tipping wrapper, the tipping wrapper circumscribing the filter and attaching the filter to the tobacco rod. The tube is configured to be disposed around at least a portion of the mouthpiece such that the tube is slidable over the outer surface of the tipping wrapper. The tube comprises an open upstream end; an open downstream end; an outer surface; and an inner surface defining a lumen for receiving the mouthpiece of the smoking article, the lumen extending from the open upstream end to the open downstream end. The coefficient of static friction between the inner surface of the tube and the outer surface of the tipping wrapper may be between about 0.5 and about 0.9. The lumen may be substantially cylindrical and have a diameter that is between one percent and four percent greater than the average diameter of the smoking article mouthpiece.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating article (10) includes an aerosol forming substrate (20) and a filter (30) downstream of the substrate. The filter comprises filter material comprising filaments having a linear density of about 4 denier or greater. The filter has a resistance to draw of less than 130 mmWG. Preferably, the filter has a resistance to draw of 90 mmWG or less. More preferably, the filter has a resistance to draw of 70 mmWG or less. Preferably, the density of the filter material is about 0.12 g/cm3 or greater.

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: A smoking article (10) comprising: an aerosol-generating substrate (12) and a mouthpiece (14) secured to a downstream end of the aerosol-generating substrate (12). The mouthpiece (14) comprises a first segment (24) of elastically deformable material, the first segment (24) having a length in the longitudinal direction of the mouthpiece (14) and a width transverse to its length. The first segment (24) comprises an insert unit access portion comprising at least one slit (60) extending along at least a part of the length of the first segment (14), and extending across at least a part of the width of the first segment (14) to facilitate deformation of the access portion, such that an opening (25) is formable or expandable in the access portion of the first segment (14) upon receiving an insert unit (50).

Abstract: Aerosol-generating system (1000) comprising an aerosol-generating device (1100) comprising a heating element (1102), and a cartridge (1200) comprising a housing (1202), a wicking element (1204), and a biasing means (1206). The cartridge is engageable with, and disengageable from, the device. When the cartridge is not engaged with the device, the wicking element is in a disengaged wicking element position and is not in contact with the heating element. When the cartridge is engaged with the device, the wicking element is in an engaged wicking element position, different to the disengaged wicking element position relative to the housing, and is in contact with the heating element, and the biasing means biases the wicking element towards the disengaged wicking element position such that the wicking element applies a force to the heating element in a force direction non-parallel with the engagement direction.
