Abstract
There is provided an aerosol-forming cartridge for an electrically operated aerosol-generating system. The cartridge includes a base layer and at least one aerosol-forming substrate disposed on the base layer and including a tobacco-containing material with volatile tobacco flavor compounds that are releasable from the aerosol-forming substrate. The base layer and the at least one aerosol-forming substrate are in contact at a contact surface, which is substantially planar.

An aerosol-forming cartridge for an electrically operated aerosol-generating system, the cartridge comprising:
- a base layer;
- and
- at least one aerosol-forming substrate disposed on the base layer and comprising a tobacco-containing material with volatile tobacco flavour compounds that are releasable from the at least one aerosol-forming substrate,
- wherein the base layer and the at least one aerosol-forming substrate are in contact at a first contact surface, which is substantially planar.
An electrically operated aerosol-forming system, comprising:
- an aerosol-forming cartridge comprising:
- a base layer, and
- at least one aerosol-forming substrate disposed on the base layer and comprising a tobacco-containing material with volatile tobacco flavour compounds that are releasable from the at least one aerosol-forming substrate,
- wherein the base layer and the at least one aerosol-forming substrate are in contact at a first contact surface, which is substantially planar;
- an electric vaporiser configured to vaporise the at least one aerosol-forming substrate;
- and
- an aerosol-generating device comprising:
- a main body defining a slot-shaped receptacle configured to removably receive the aerosol-forming cartridge, and
- an electric power supply configured to supply power to the electric vaporiser.
A method of manufacturing an aerosol-forming cartridge for an electrically operated aerosol-generating system, the method comprising:
- providing a base layer;
- and
- placing at least one aerosol-forming substrate on the base layer such that the base layer and the at least one aerosol-forming substrate are joined at a first contact surface, which is substantially planar,
- wherein the at least one aerosol-forming substrate comprises a tobacco-containing material with volatile tobacco flavour compounds, which are released from the at least one aerosol-forming substrate upon heating.
