There is provided a method of manufacturing a combustible heat source (100) having a barrier (110) affixed to an end face (112) thereof. The method comprises providing a hollow die (130) having a first opening and an opposed second opening; covering the first opening of the hollow die (130) with a laminar barrier material (160); punching a barrier (110) from the laminar barrier material (160) by inserting a first punch (140) into the hollow die (130) through the first opening; placing one or more particulate components(120) in the hollow die (130)through the second opening; compressing the one or more particulate components (120) to form a combustible heat source (100) and affix the barrier (110) to an end face (112) of the combustible heat source (100) by inserting a second punch (150) into the hollow die (130) through the second opening; and ejecting the combustible heat source (100) having the barrier (110) affixed to the end face (112) thereof from the hollow die (130). |
