Abstract

The present invention provides a product and method of making thereof for the consumption of smokable substances such as tobacco or herbs. The product is comprised of tobacco, homogenized tobacco and/or natural leaf materials and has a hollow conical shape that allows for the easy insertion of smokable substances and further provides for larger amounts of smokable substances in the end of the product the consumer lights, resulting in an initial slower prolonged burn and more even distribution of nicotine. Additionally, the placement of a structure into one end of the hollow cone permits the consumer to consume the majority, if not all, of the smokable substance. This structure also prevents debris and other unwanted materials from being sucked through the end of the product and into the mouth and respiratory system of the consumer.

Claims (29)

1. A product for consumption of tobacco and other smokable substances, comprising:

a first sheet of material forming a hollow cone having a first end defining a first opening and a second end defining a second opening whereby the second opening has a diameter greater than the diameter of the first opening, wherein the first sheet of material is tobacco, homogenized tobacco or natural leaf material; and

a second sheet of material disposed within the first end of the hollow cone, wherein the second sheet of material forms a coil.

2. The product of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of second sheets of material.

3. A product for consumption of tobacco and other smokable substances, comprising:

a first sheet of material forming a hollow cone having a first end defining a first opening and a second end defining a second opening whereby the second opening has a diameter greater than the diameter of the first opening, wherein the first sheet of material is tobacco, homogenized tobacco or natural leaf material; and

a second sheet of material disposed within the first end of the hollow cone, wherein the second sheet of material is attached to the hollow cone and wherein the second sheet of material forms a coil.

4. The product of claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of second sheets of material.

5. A product for consumption of tobacco and other smokable substances, comprising:

a first sheet of material forming a hollow cone having a first end defining a first opening and a second end defining a second opening whereby the second opening has a diameter greater than the diameter of the first opening, wherein the first sheet of material is tobacco, homogenized tobacco or natural leaf material; and

a second sheet of material disposed within the first end of the hollow cone, wherein the second sheet of material is more rigid than the first sheet of material.

6. A method for producing a product for consumption of tobacco and other smokable substances, comprising the following steps:

providing a first sheet of material comprised of tobacco, homogenized tobacco or natural leaf material;

cutting the first sheet of material to a desired size;

forming the first sheet of material into a hollow cone, the hollow cone having a first end defining a first opening and a second end defining a second opening whereby the second opening has a diameter greater than the diameter of the first opening; and

placing a second sheet of material within the first end of the hollow cone, wherein the second sheet of material forms a coil.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a plurality of second sheets form the coil.

8. A method for producing a product for consumption of tobacco and other smokable substances, comprising the following steps:

providing a first sheet of material comprised of tobacco, homogenized tobacco or natural leaf material;

cutting the first sheet of material to a desired size;

forming the first sheet of material into a hollow cone, the hollow cone having a first end defining a first opening and a second end defining a second opening whereby the second opening has a diameter greater than the diameter of the first opening; and

placing a second sheet of material in contact with the first sheet of material prior to forming the hollow cone, whereby when the hollow cone is formed the second sheet of material is disposed within the first end of the hollow cone, wherein the second sheet of material forms a coil.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein a plurality of second sheets form the coil.

10. A method for producing a product for consumption of tobacco and other smokable substances, comprising the following steps:

providing a first sheet of material comprised of tobacco, homogenized tobacco or natural leaf material;

cutting the first sheet of material to a desired size;

forming the first sheet of material into a hollow cone, the hollow cone having a first end defining a first opening and a second end defining a second opening whereby the second opening has a diameter greater than the diameter of the first opening; and

attaching a second sheet of material to the first sheet of material prior to forming the hollow cone, whereby when the hollow cone is formed the second sheet of material is disposed within the first end of the hollow cone, wherein the second sheet of material forms a coil.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein a plurality of second sheets form the coil.
