Abstract
A smoking article is provided, including a combustible carbonaceous heat source having opposed front and rear end faces; an aerosol-forming substrate downstream of the rear end face of the combustible carbonaceous heat source; an ignitable composition provided on at least a portion of the front end face of the combustible carbonaceous heat source; and one or more airflow pathways along configured to allow air to be drawn through the smoking article for inhalation, the ignitable composition being configured to be ignited by striking the front end face on a frictional surface, and being isolated from the one or more airflow pathways such that air drawn along the one or more airflow pathways does not directly contact the ignitable composition.

A smoking article, comprising:
- a combustible carbonaceous heat source having opposed front and rear end faces;
- an aerosol-forming substrate downstream of the rear end face of the combustible carbonaceous heat source;
- an ignitable composition provided on at least a portion of the front end face of the combustible carbonaceous heat source;
- and
- one or more airflow pathways configured to allow air to be drawn through the smoking article for inhalation,
- wherein the ignitable composition is configured to be ignited by striking the front end face of the combustible carbonaceous heat source on a frictional surface, and
- wherein the ignitable composition is isolated from the one or more airflow pathways such that air drawn along the one or more airflow pathways does not directly contact the ignitable composition.
