Abstract

A smoking device includes a cylindrical reticulated tube having an open air inlet at one end and an open air outlet at the other end filled with an aerosol generating material. An insulating collar is concentrically located with the reticulated tube covering a portion of the tube and spaced closer to the air outlet end of the tube than to the air inlet end of the tube. A tobacco plug is coaxially located within the tube with the portion of the length of the tube between the collar and air outlet end embedded within the tobacco plug. A nucleating chamber is located at the end of the tobacco plug opposite the insulating collar, and a reticulated wall is located at the interface of the tobacco plug and nucleating chamber. A filter plug is coaxially located with the tobacco plug at the other end of the nucleating chamber. A ribbon of fuel material is spirally wound around the reticulated tube between the air inlet end of the reticulated tube and the insulating collar, and a non-combustible sleeve is concentrically located over at least the spirally wound fuel ribbon.
