An electrical smoking article is provided in which tobacco flavor medium is carried past a heater by a continuous web. The web, which preferably is substantially non-combustible, may bear continuous tobacco flavor medium or spaced-apart portions of tobacco flavor medium. A flavor cassette for such an electrical smoking article is also provided. The cassette resembles a conventional recording tape microcassette, having the web in place of magnetic tape. The cassette may also include the heater past which the tape is indexed to heat individual portions of tobacco flavor medium.

This invention refers to a paper having crossdirectional regions having increased basis weight. The paper of this invention is especially useful as a wrapping material for a smoking article. The paper may be produced by depositing additional material onto a moving base web in a papermaking machine. The additional material is deposited by means of a rotating drum containing a plurality of slits through which the additional material passes.

The calcium carbonate filler level or the basis weight of a paper wrapper for a smoking article is varied to enable the designing of smoking articles with specific characteristics including a specific puff count, tar delivery and carbon monoxide delivery.

Smoking articles using novel paper wrapper

The ash characteristics of a cigarette paper wrapper are improved by using fine particle size calcium carbonate filler. In addition, increased calcium carbonate filler loading level, increased basis weight, and various combinations of these variables are used to achieve improved ash characteristics.
