Abstract: Disclosed is a cannabis briquette formed from compressed cannabis and having a hole defining an air channel through the cannabis briquette. The hole can enable an inside portion of the cannabis briquette to be lit and burned during use. In this way, the cannabis briquette can burn outward from the inside portion, which can help to facilitate an even burn of the cannabis briquette. The cannabis briquette is a pre-bowl configuration, which can be convenient for users because it circumvents any need to grind or compress any cannabis, and it is easy to place into a bowl.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of tobacco conditioning, which is performed generally after curing and before baling. It has been identified that cured tobacco is very brittle and difficult to handle without damaging the tobacco leaf. In order to address this issue an apparatus for post-curing conditioning of tobacco is provided. The apparatus includes a tobacco chamber for storing cured tobacco leaves for conditioning; and an air processing facility which includes: a ventilation system for creating an airflow through the apparatus, wherein said airflow is drawn into the air processing facility, passes from the air processing facility into the tobacco chamber, and subsequently exits the apparatus; a heater for adding heat to the airflow; and a humidity generator for adding moisture to the airflow.

Abstract: There is provided an aerosol-generating device including a housing defining a cavity configured to receive an aerosol-generating article through an open end of the cavity; and a constricting member connected to the housing and being moveable between an open position and a constricting position to selectively constrict at least a portion of the cavity, thereby allowing the aerosol-generating article to be selectively gripped or released. An aerosol-generating system is also provided.
