         10 . A device for generating an inhalable medium, the device comprising:
 a container configured to hold a liquid;   a heater configured to volatilize the liquid held in the container;   a chamber containing a tobacco composition comprising:
 about 20-40% by weight of a first material having at least one of an air-cured tobacco and a fire-cured tobacco; 
 about 0-35% by weight of a second material comprising at least one of a flue-cured tobacco that has not been subjected to any further treatment which affects the flavor properties thereof and a sun-cured tobacco that has not been subjected to any further treatment which affects the flavor properties thereof; and 
 about 25-50% by weight of a third material comprising at least one of a flue-cured tobacco that has been further treated to enhance the flavor properties thereof and a sun-cured tobacco that has been further treated to enhance the flavor properties thereof; and 
   an outlet;   wherein the container, the heater, the chamber, and the outlet are arranged such that, in use, an inhalable medium passes out of the outlet, the inhalable medium comprising one or more constituents of the tobacco composition and volatilized liquid in the form of at least one of a vapor and an aerosol.   
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 ,
 wherein the container, the heater, the chamber, and the outlet are arranged such that, in use, liquid volatilized by the heater passes, in the form of at least one of a vapor and an aerosol, through the tobacco composition to thereby entrain one or more constituents from the tobacco composition to produce the inhalable medium which passes out of the outlet.   
     
     
         12 . A cartridge for use in a device for heating tobacco material, the cartridge containing a tobacco composition comprising:
 about 20-40% by weight of a first material having at least one of an air-cured tobacco and a fire-cured tobacco;   about 0-35% by weight of a second material comprising at least one of a flue-cured tobacco that has not been subjected to any further treatment which affects the flavor properties thereof and a sun-cured tobacco that has not been subjected to any further treatment which affects the flavor properties thereof; and   about 25-50% by weight of a third material comprising at least one of a flue-cured tobacco that has been further treated to enhance the flavor properties thereof and a sun-cured tobacco that has been further treated to enhance the flavor properties thereof.   
     
     
         13 . The cartridge of  claim 12 , comprising (i) a liquid container which includes a liquid comprising nicotine and optionally one or more of an aerosol generating agent and a flavoring, and (ii) a chamber in which the tobacco composition is provided.
