The smoking article also possesses a mouth-end piece that is used by the smoker to inhale components of tobacco that are generated by the action of heat upon components of the cigarette. A representative smoking article possesses an outer housing incorporating a source of electrical power (e.g., a battery), a sensing mechanism for powering the device at least during periods of draw, and a heating device (e.g., at least one electrical resistance heating element) for forming a thermally generated aerosol that incorporates components of tobacco. During use, the cigarette is positioned within the device, and after use, the used cigarette is removed from the device and replaced with another cigarette.
146 METHOD OF MAKING A TOBACCO PRODUCT US13196248 2011-08-02 US20120006339A1 2012-01-12 Daniel S. Sinclair, JR.
A tobacco product is formed by rolling a sheet of material supplied by a roll or rolls (e.g. moistened tobacco leaves) and/or homogenized sheet tobacco about a slit mandrel to form a shaped tube. The shaped tube is then packaged for shipment to an end user or consumer. The shaped tube remains in the rolled, shaped tube form inside the package. After the shaped tube is removed from the package, a consumer can fill the tube with crushed tobacco leaves or other tobacco filler material of a favorite blend, thereby eliminating some steps in the making of a “roll-your-own” tobacco product. A liquid can be added to the sheet or to the finished tube to moisturize same. The liquid can include flavoring. The tubes are unfilled when packaged and sent to a consumer/end user in tube form so that they have a “memory” that helps hold a tubular cigar shape after they are filled with selected tobacco fill material.

157 Smoke modifying agents and smoking material rods comprising smoke-modifying agents US10238278 2002-09-10 US06645305B2 2003-11-11 Richard Oliver
A process for the manufacture of a homogeneous fibriform element comprising a smoke-modifying agent. In the process a mixture comprising a solution of a polysaccharide (an alginate for example) and a smoke-modifying agent (menthol for example) is fed through nozzle means, and a jet of said mixture issuing from the nozzle means is brought into contact with a solution containing multivalent cations (such as calcium ions). Solidification of the mixture is thus effected. In a second aspect of the invention, a fibriform element is manufactured by passing a thread through a mixture comprising a solution of a polysaccharide and a smoke-modifying agent whereby the thread is coated with the mixture. The coated thread is brought into contact with a solution containing multivalent cations thus to effect solidification of the mixture on the thread. A fibriform element as manufactured by the inventive process and a smoking article comprising such a fibriform element are also claimed.

160 Cigarette having sidestream aroma US145724 1988-01-15 US4941486A 1990-07-17 Michael F. Dube; Barry L. Saintsing
Cigarette sidestream smoke can have the aroma thereof altered by placing the cigarette wrapping paper in intimate contact with a flavor precursor such as ethyl vanillin glucoside. The cigarettes exhibit good tobacco taste during use. The flavor precursor provides no substantial aroma to the cigarette prior to use thereof, and a characteristic aroma of the flavoring agent in the sidestream smoke during use thereof. Cigarettes can have a wrapping paper containing magnesium oxide and/or magnesium hydroxide, the paper having a net permeability of greater than 50 CORESTA units and an inherent permeability of less than 45 CORESTA units. The paper containing magnesium oxide and/or magnesium hydroxide is in intimate contact with a flavor precursor, and the filter of the cigarette includes a flavor carrier such as a flavored pellet.
