An aerosol-generating system may include an electrical power supply, an electrical heater connected to the electrical power supply, and a substrate container. The substrate container may define a blind cavity containing an aerosol-forming substrate in the form of a gel that is a solid at room temperature. The electrical heater is external to the substrate container and configured to heat the substrate container to generate a vapor without contacting the aerosol-forming substrate. As result, the possibility of unwanted materials building up on the electrical heater can be reduced, thereby providing a more reliable and consistent performance. |

Disclosed is a prepackaged smokable material capsule, comprising a container having an internal volume that allows a user to place a packaged amount of shisha or similar tobacco product into a hookah bowl without physical contact therewith. The capsule has a removable seal, an inlet, outlet and an internal agitator means within the capsule. The seal removably covers its upper inlet and lower outlet prior to use. Once removed, the inlet and outlet are preferably pre-perforated, or alternatively may then be perforated by a user, prior to a layer of coals be placed thereonto for burning the capsule contents and allowing smoke to be drawn therefrom. The imbedded agitator provides a means to control the density of the capsule contents and prevent clumping to ensure free flowing passage of air therethrough. Also disclosed is a capsule retainment system comprising a hookah bowl and capsule clamp. |

A detachable charge housing is provided wherein the side wall is perforated with a plurality of air vent openings that are covered internally by an overlapping paper section which is both porous and absorbent which is wrapped around a metal screen wire sleeve inserted into the charge housing in such a manner that the disposable assembly is retained by frictional contact and with the thusly described charge housing assembly being loaded with smoking tobacco and seated vertically in the upstream open end of a smoking holder, comprising additionally an affixed stem section having a longitudinal smoke channel therein. The smoking holder is provided in a preferred modification and an optional modification. The construction and operation of the two modifications are identical with the exception that the optional modification has a perforated side wall which is formed above the charge housing seat which substantially encompasses the charge housing in a spaced relationship. The principal features of the invention are that the porous and absorbent paper section which surrounds the burning tobacco charge does not burn and that it allows air filtration which improves the combustion of the tobacco charge and absorbs moisture therefrom which subsequently evaporates thus resulting in a drier and cooler smoke than that which is produced by conventional tobacco smoking pipes.

PARKER M |
A tobacco pipe smoking system wherein a pipe and tobacco capsule are mutually designed to yield a slim-line smoking combination that can be manufactured from relatively low temperature thermoplastic materials. The pipe includes a bowl and stem. The bowl is designed to support the capsule spaced from the inner walls and includes a tunnel extending across the bottom thereof. One end of this tunnel opens upwardly into the tobacco capsule and the other end communicates directly with the pipe stem. The capsule comprises a charge of particulate smoking tobacco within a sheath of imperforate incombustible sheet material, having a passage through the bottom thereof. The capsule may include a filter surmounted by a wafer located between the charge and the bottom passage in one embodiment, and a circuitous air space in place of the wafer, in another.
