Heated tobacco system, device and consumable

Abstract

There is disclosed a Heated Tobacco (HT) consumable having a closed end. By closing the end so that the tobacco portion is not exposed to a distal end, advantageously, a consumable is provided that reduces the risk or likelihood of tobacco from falling out or being pulled out from the consumable in use or during transportation and/or during the production process. There is therefore provided a method of manufacturing a consumable, wherein a plurality of membranes are simultaneously pushed onto a plurality of part-processed consumables at the packer. The method preferably comprises arranging the plurality of consumables into an array before pushing on the plurality of membranes.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
