Abstract

A smokable article having an aerosol generating zone connected to a mouthpiece via a tubular intermediate zone, wherein the aerosol generating zone includes an annular combustion element and a cylindrical carrier for an aerosol precursor coaxially disposed therewithin with a space therebetween forming air flow passages. Heat from the combustion element conducted to the aerosol carrier generates aerosols that may be drawn by air passing through the air flow passages to the mouthpiece by a smoker.
