Abstract
A heat not burn consumable (1) comprising a plant product (5) interspersed with a thermally conductive material in alternating layers such as radially or circumferentially alternating layers. The thermally conductive material may comprise at least one tubular element or may have a spiral configuration. The thermally conductive material may form spokes (4A-4E) within the plant product. A heating element may abut a first longitudinal end face (2) of the consumable (1) with a longitudinally-extending conductive element (6) which protruding axially from the longitudinal end face (2). The plant product (5) may have a smooth surface and the thermally conductive material (4) may be textured. The layers of thermally conductive material may have a grid configuration or a boustrophedonic configuration.
