Definitions

  • At least one of the paper layers is made from a paper with a basis weight of at least about 100 grams per square metre.
  • flavourants can be obtained either by extraction from a natural source or by chemical synthesis if the structure of the compound is known.
  • the flavourants can be extracted from a part of a plant or an animal by physical means, by enzymes, or by water or an organic solvent, and thus include any extractive, essence, hydrolysate, distillate, or absolute thereof.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate an aerosol-generating article 10 in accordance with the present invention.
  • the aerosol-generating article 10 comprises a wrapped tobacco rod 12 of tobacco cut filler which is attached at one end to an axially aligned mouthpiece 14 .
  • a band of tipping paper 16 circumscribes the mouthpiece 14 and a portion of the wrapped tobacco rod 12 to join together the two components of the aerosol-generating article 10 .
  • the mainstream smoke generated from the tobacco in the wrapped rod 12 passes into the upstream cavity 26 before passing through the second filter segment 20 and coming into contact with the capsule 24 .
  • the smoke continues downstream and passes through the first filter segment 18 in contact with the capsule 22 .
  • the mainstream smoke cools down as it passes through the upstream cavity 26 and the effect of the mainstream smoke on the capsules 22 , 24 is therefore minimised.
  • the capsules 22 , 24 retain their frangibility during smoking and can still be broken by the consumer after smoking to produce an audible sound.
