Abstract: The present invention relates to a filter element for use in a tobacco article, the filter element having at least one filter body and at least one capsule with a liquid medium as core material, characterized in that the at least one capsule has a water vapor-impermeable shell of a polymeric material which was obtained from a UV-polymerizable precursor material, wherein the UV-polymerizable precursor material is at least one compound with two in each case terminal diacrylate and/or dimethacrylate groups which are linked by a rigid, non-polar, non-crosslinking group.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a heat not burn (HNB) consumable comprising a plant product, wherein the plant product is formed into a planar slab (2) such that the consumable has a substantially rectangular transverse cross section. The planar slab of plant product may dosed with an aerosol former and may comprise a hydrophobic or liquid-impermeable outer coating. The consumable may further comprise a rectangular slab filter (4). In another embodiment, the plant product is formed into two planar slabs (2?, 2?) that are aligned and spaced from one another to define a planar recess (27) therebetween such that the consumable has a substantially rectangular transverse cross section. In another embodiment, the plant product is formed into a cuboid brick (9) having a hollow core (10). It also relates to a heat not burn system comprising such a consumable and a core heating element, wherein the core heating element is received in the hollow core. In another embodiment, the plant product is at least partly (e.g.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of wrapping smoking article rods with a wrapper. A bobbin comprising a wound web (8) and individual spaced wrappers (2) is provided. The wrappers (2) each have a longitudinal axis (Lw) and are arranged side by side on the web (8). The bobbin is unwound, and an unwound section of the web (8) is guided across a support, preferably a support plate, wherein the wrappers (2) on that section of the web (8) are exposed. Individual smoking article rods (1), which have their longitudinal axes (Lr) generally arranged in parallel, are fed towards the support under an oblique angle (?) between the longitudinal axes (Lr, Lw) of the smoking article rods (1) and of the wrappers (2). Each smoking article rod (1) is rolled over one of the wrappers (2), wherein that wrapper (2) is taken up by that smoking article rod (1) and helically wound about that smoking article rod (1).

Abstract: A filter cigarillo comprises a bunch, which includes tobacco surrounded by a binder. A first section, different from a general bunch and providing some strengthening effect, is arranged at one end of the bunch. A natural-leaf wrapper surrounds the general bunch and the first section. A second section, which comprises filter material, is arranged downstream of the first section. The second section is connected to the natural-leaf wrapper by an outer tipping.
