Abstract

Provided are materials for making a hand rolled smoking article having a novel sheet. The sheet can include a rectangular portion and an irregular shaped portion. The sheet can be manufactured from tobacco leaf or foil, homogenized tobacco paper, or conventionally available rolling paper. The sheet can be filled with a filler material and rolled to form a cigar or cigarette.

Claims (34)

1. A smoking article, comprising:

(a) a sheet of combustible material;

(b) a perforation that divides the sheet into first and second sections;

(c) the first section being a generally parallelogram section having long and short sides;

(d) the second section being attached to the parallelogram section on one of the long sides via the dividing perforation with the second section extending the entire length of the attached long side, the second section being not a parallelogram;

(e) the rectangular section defining a section that can be rolled into a tube, the tube having a diameter sufficiently large to hold a user's smokable filler material; and

(f) a smokable filler that fills the tube.

2. The smoking article of claim 1 , wherein the second section has an edge that is in the shape of a part of an ellipse.

3. The smoking article of claim 1 , wherein the second section has an edge that is in the shape of a part of a circle.

4. A smoking article, comprising:

(a) a sheet of material having a plurality of sides and a perforated line that extends from one of the sides to another of the sides,

(b) the perforated line separating the sheet into first and second sections;

(c) wherein each of the sections can be rolled into a tube having a diameter sufficiently large to hold a user's smokable filler material;

(d) wherein one of the sections has two sides that form an acute angle; and

(e) a smokable filler that fills a selected one of the tubes.

5. The smoking article of claim 4 , wherein the sections include a parallelogram section.

6. The smoking article of claim 4 , wherein one of the sections is in the shape of a triangle.

7. The smoking article of claim 4 , further comprising additional perforated lines facilitating the creation of one or more cut corners on the sheet.

8. The smoking article of claim 4 , wherein the perforated line has a semicircular shaped portion.

9. The smoking article of claim 8 , wherein the sheet includes first and second ends, and the semicircular shaped portion extends from the first to the second end.

11. The smoking article of claim 8 , wherein the sheet includes first and second ends, and the semicircular portion contacts the first end but does not contact the second end.

12. A smoking article, comprising;

a) a sheet of material having multiple sides;

b) a perforated line that extends from a first side to another side generally opposite the first side;

c) the perforation enabling the sheet of material to be separated into first and second sections by cutting the sheet at the perforated line;

d) the first section having a generally parallelogram shape and defining a section that can be rolled into a tube, the tube having a diameter sufficiently large to hold a user's smokable filler material;

e) the second section being of a shape that is not a parallelogram, having two sides that form an acute angle; and

f) a smokable filler that fills the tube.

13. The smoking article of claim 12 , wherein the second section is generally triangular in shape.

14. The smoking article of claim 12 , wherein the second section is generally trapezoidal in shape.

15. The smoking article of claim 12 , wherein one of the sections has one or more cut corners.

16. The smoking article of claim 12 , wherein one of the sections has one or more corners and one or more additional perforated lines positioned next to the corners that enable the formation of one or more cut corners.
