Abstract

Provided are a heat conducting wrapper for a carbon heat source-applied cigarette, in which the wrapper is triply laminated paper including a first insulating layer, a metal layer, and a second insulating layer, and a carbon heat source-applied cigarette including the wrapper.

Claims (13)

1 . A carbon heat source-applied cigarette comprising:

a carbon heat source, a medium, a heat conducting wrapper wrapping the carbon heat source and a part of the medium, and cigarette paper wrapping a part of the medium where the heat conducting wrapper is not present,

an outer cover, and

a barrier formed between the carbon heat source and the medium,

wherein the heat conducting wrapper is a laminate including a first insulating layer, a metal layer, and a second insulating layer in this order, and

the first insulating layer is in direct contact with the carbon heat source and the part of the medium wrapped by the heat conducting wrapper.

2 . The carbon heat source-applied cigarette of claim 1 , wherein in the heat conducting wrapper, a ratio of a length of a front portion wrapping the carbon heat source and a length of a rear portion wrapping a part of the medium is 1:1.1 to 3.

3 . The carbon heat source-applied cigarette of claim 1 , wherein in the heat conducting wrapper, a length of a rear portion wrapping a part of the medium is longer than a length of a front portion wrapping the carbon heat source.

4 . The carbon heat source-applied cigarette of claim 1 , wherein perforations are formed in an outer circumferential surface of the medium.

5 . The carbon heat source-applied cigarette of claim 4 , wherein the perforations are formed in positions between 0.5 to 3 mm from the barrier.

6 . The carbon heat source-applied cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer are made of a paper material, and the metal layer is made of an aluminum material.

7 . The carbon heat source-applied cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the heat source has a length of 5 to 15 mm, and the cigarette paper has a length of 3 to 8 mm.

8 . The carbon heat source-applied cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the barrier has a thickness of 0.1 to 0.3 mm.
