Abstract: A method of manufacturing a flavor cartridge for a flavor inhalator, the method comprising the steps of filling a predetermined amount of a flavor generating material capable of emitting a flavor component in a frame compressing the flavor generating material in the frame by applying pressure thereto by a pusher and fixing a lid to the frame, wherein the flavor generating material contains a tobacco material obtained by shredding or pulverizing tobacco leaf, and the lid has air permeability.
Abstract: A smoking device having an integrated lighter, a bowl for holding an igniteable vegetable product, and a duct for drawing smoke like a pipe. The device consists of an ignition switch located on the side of the pipe in natural proximity to the thumb, a piezo-electric ignition system, a flammable gas delivery system, a bowl for holding smoking material, and an aperature for drawing the smoke emitted from the ignited vegetable product.
Abstract: An integrated smoking device that provides a bowl for holding smoking material, an ignition source, and a mechanism for delivering ignitable fuel near the smoking material. A user control may trigger both flow and ignition of fuel. The device may include a cover for storing smoking material in the bowl when not in use. The device may be adapted for easy storage of the device in a shirt or pants pocket.

Abstract: A smoking pipe having a cleaning valve includes a pipe body with an internal bore. A combustion chamber is communicably connected with the bore. A cleaning valve is mounted adjustably within the bore. The valve includes a longitudinal channel and the valve is alternatable between a first position wherein the channel is communicably interconnects an orifice in the mouthpiece of the pipe and the combustion chamber and a second position wherein the channel is fully exposed so that it may be quickly and completely cleaned.
Abstract: A tobacco taster comprising an inner tube and an outer tube, the inner tube having a slightly smaller diameter than the outer tube, so that inner tube slides into outer tube with a frictional fit, inner tube having a hole, a basket shaped screen having a lip, the screen fitting into the hole in the inner tube, the lip of the screen overlapping the edge of hole, the outer tube having a hole, so that when the inner tube and the outer tube are connected by sliding the outer tube over the inner tube, the two holes are concentric.
