A smoking article comprises a first part, a second part movable relative to the first part. At least one of the first or second parts comprises a section of sheet material wrapped around one or more rod articles, wherein the section of sheet material comprises a circumferentially leading edge and/or a trailing edge. The circumferentially leading edge and/or a trailing edge is angled to a longitudinal axis of the smoking article. The section of the first part or second part comprising the angled edge is configured to be rotatable relative to the other of the first or second part, the relative rotational position of the first and second parts configured to control a property of the smoking article.

Smoking article

A smoking article comprises a first part () comprising a source of smokable material and a second part () comprising a rod article and configured to be rotatable relative to the first part. A first indexing surface () on the first part and a second indexing surface () on the second part are configured to engage to index the rotation between the first and second parts. At least one of the first or second parts comprise a control element () configured to control a ventilation of the smoking article and a ventilation area () in the other of the first or second parts of the smoking article from the control element, the ventilation area configured to be selectively covered by the movable control element, wherein the second part comprises a connecting section connecting the rod article to the first part of the smoking article, and the connecting section is affixed to or supports the second indexing section.

A smoking article, comprises a first and a second engaging surface () spaced circumferentially, and a control element () movable between the first and second engaging surfaces. A ventilation area () is configured to be selectively covered by the movable control element. The control element comprises a first limiting edge configured to engage with the first engaging surface and a second limiting edge configured to engage with the second engaging surface to limit rotational movement.

Smoking article and method of manufacturing a smoking article A smoking article (), comprises a first part, and a second part movable relative to the first part. An indexing mechanism comprises a first indexing surface () on one of the first part or second part; and a second indexing surface () on the other of the first and second parts. The second indexing surface () is configured to engage with the first indexing surface () to control relative movement between the first part and second part.

Smoking article and method of manufacturing a smoking article

A smoking article comprising a first part moveable relative to a second part, and defining an interface between the first and second parts located around the first part are provided, among other aspects. A cover is configured to cover the interface and obstruct ingress of air into the smoking article directly at the interface.
