A Smoking Article with a Heated Segment Comprising a Tobacco Product

Abstract

The invention relates to a smoking article with a distal end and a mouth end, that extends in a circumferential direction and a longitudinal direction to form a cylindrical shape. Along the longitudinal direction from the distal to the mouth end at least one heated segment comprising tobacco or reconstituted tobacco binder (RTB), at least one cooling segment comprising a cylindrically shaped cooler material and a filter segment are arranged. The three sections create a flow path from the distal to the mouth end, wherein the heated segment, the cooling segment and the filter segment are at least in part enclosed by a first wrapper. The heated segment comprises at least one second wrapper. A smoking article is characterized in that the second wrapper is coated with a tobacco product comprising tobacco particles having an average particle size of 30 μm and a dispersion medium for dispersing the tobacco particles.

1 . A smoking article with a distal end and a mouth end, wherein the smoking article has a cylindrical shape and extends in a circumferential direction and a longitudinal direction, along which from the distal to the mouth end at least one heated segment comprising tobacco and/or reconstituted tobacco binder (RTB), at least one cooling segment comprising a cylindrically shaped cooler material and a filter segment are arranged, thereby creating a flow path from the distal end to the mouth end, wherein the heated segment, the cooling segment and the filter segment are at least in part enclosed by a first wrapper, wherein the heated segment comprises at least one second wrapper, wherein
 the second wrapper includes a coated section coated with a tobacco product comprising tobacco particles having an average particle size of 30 m and a dispersion medium for dispersing the tobacco particles.   
     
     
         2 . The smoking article according to  claim 1 , wherein the tobacco product is arranged on an inner and/or outer surface of the second wrapper. 
     
     
         3 . The smoking article according to  claim 1 , wherein the second wrapper comprises at least one uncoated section and uncoated sections form a pattern. 
     
     
         4 . The smoking article according to  claim 4 , wherein the pattern comprises circumferential rings with an extent in the longitudinal direction, wherein the circumferential rings are distanced from each other along the longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         5 . The smoking article according to  claim 1 , wherein the second wrapper has at least in part a consistent thickness extending in the longitudinal and the circumferential direction. 
     
     
         6 . The smoking article according to  claim 1 , wherein the heated segment comprises at least one carrier material portion comprising the tobacco product. 
     
     
         7 . The smoking article according to  claim 1 , wherein the cooling segment comprises the tobacco product. 
     
     
         8 . The smoking article according to  claim 1 , wherein the second wrapper comprises a carrier material comprising paper and/or, heat resistant polymers and/or, cellulose based materials, and wherein the second wrapper is circumferentially enclosed by the first wrapper. 
     
     
         9 . The smoking article according to  claim 8 , wherein the heated segment comprises at least one carrier material portion, and wherein the tobacco product is applied at least on one surface of the carrier material portion. 
     
     
         10 . The smoking article according to  claim 9 , wherein the at least one carrier material portion is perforated to improve the flow path in the longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         11 . The smoking article according to  claim 9 , wherein the at least one carrier material portion is arranged in the heated segment in the longitudinal direction or rolled in the circumferential direction. 
     
     
         12 . The smoking article according to  claim 8 , wherein the at least one carrier material portion is soaked with the tobacco product. 
     
     
         13 . A method for manufacturing a smoking article with a distal end and mouth end having a cylindrical shape and extending in a circumferential direction and in longitudinal direction, along which from the distal end to the mouth end at least one heated segment comprising tobacco and/or reconstituted tobacco binder (RTB), at least one cooling segment comprising a cylindrically shaped cooler material with a flow path from the distal end to mouth end and a filter segment are arranged, wherein the heated segment, the cooling segment and the filter segment are at least in part enclosed by a first wrapper, wherein the heated segment comprises at least one second wrapper, the method further comprising
 coating the second wrapper with a tobacco product comprising tobacco particles having an average particle size of 30 m and a dispersion medium for dispersing the tobacco particles before arranging the heated segment in the smoking article.   
     
     
         14 . The method for manufacturing a smoking article according to  claim 13 , wherein
 the tobacco product is applied to the second wrapper of the heated segment by spraying or printing.   
     
     
         15 . The method for manufacturing a smoking article according to  claim 14 , wherein
 the tobacco product is applied to the second wrapper in a separate processing step.
