Abstract

A shisha consumable article (101) for use with an external assembly such as a shisha assembly is described. The shisha consumable article includes a housing (110) defining a first compartment (112) and a second compartment (114) being adjacent to the first compartment. The second compartment is adjacent to, and sealed or air impermeable from, the first compartment. A combustible heat source (120) is contained within the first compartment and an aerosol-forming substrate (130) is contained within the second compartment.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A shisha consumable article for use with a shisha assembly, the shisha consumable article comprising:
a housing defining a first compartment and a second compartment and a first wall between the first and second compartments, the second compartment being adjacent to, and sealed or air impermeable from the first compartment;
a combustible heat source contained within the first compartment;
a seal layer adhered to and covering at least a portion of a second wall of the first compartment, the seal layer cleanly removable to expose at least a portion of the combustible heat source; and
an aerosol-forming substrate contained within the second compartment; and
wherein the shisha consumable article is configured to be received into a shisha consumable receptacle such that the second compartment is pierced or mated with the shisha consumable receptacle to form an airflow pathway through the second compartment.

2. The shisha consumable article according to claim 1 , wherein the second compartment is air impermeable and the first compartment is air impermeable.

3. The shisha consumable article according to claim 1 , wherein the first compartment forms a top portion of the shisha consumable article and the second compartment forms a bottom portion of the shisha consumable article, and a bottom wall of the first compartment forms a top wall of the second compartment.

4. The shisha consumable article according to claim 3 , wherein a bottom wall of the second compartment is perforated or comprises a plurality of through-holes, enabling air to be drawn through the second compartment during use.

5. The shisha consumable article according to claim 1 , wherein the second compartment forms an annular ring and the first compartment forms an inner compartment within an inner diameter of the annular ring.

6. The shisha consumable article according to claim 1 , wherein the housing defines a plurality of second compartments, and each second compartment contains an aerosol-forming substrate.

7. The shisha consumable article according to claim 1 , wherein the aerosol-forming substrate comprises nicotine.

8. The shisha consumable article according to claim 1 , wherein the aerosol-forming substrate comprises tobacco and the combustible heat source is a carbonaceous heat source.

9. The shisha consumable article according to claim 1 , wherein the first compartment forms a top portion of the shisha consumable article and the second compartment forms a bottom portion of the shisha consumable article, and a bottom wall of the first compartment forms a top wall of the second compartment.

10. The shisha consumable article according to claim 9 , wherein the bottom wall of the second compartment is perforated or comprises a plurality of through-holes, enabling air to be drawn through the second compartment during use.

11. The shisha consumable article according to claim 1 , wherein the second compartment forms an annular ring and the first compartment forms an inner compartment within an inner diameter of the annular ring.

12. A shisha assembly, comprising:
a vessel head space outlet conduit contained by an interior of the vessel;
a shisha consumable receptacle comprising an aerosol air outlet;
a conduit in gaseous communication with the aerosol air outlet and the interior of the vessel; and
a shisha consumable article, according to claim 1 , disposed on the shisha consumable receptacle, the shisha consumable receptacle aerosol air outlet in airflow connection with the second compartment.

13. The shisha assembly according to claim 12 , wherein the shisha consumable receptacle comprises a receptacle air inlet that mates with a second compartment air inlet.
