Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a capsule comprising:   a smoking material;   a container retaining the smoking material, the container having a floor with portions configured to be manually punctured or manually removed; and   a top joined to the container to capture the smoking material within the container with portions configured to be manually punctured or manually removed, wherein an entire lower surface of the top is supported by the container so as to be spaced vertically above and opposite to the smoking material and so as to not contact the smoking material.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the top includes a central portion retaining the smoking material in the container and an extension extending from the central portion outwardly beyond the container, wherein the central portion and the extension are configured to support and retain a heat source on the capsule and above the container. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the extension is configured to be wrapped about a mouth of a hookah bowl to substantially retain its wrapped shape. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the central portion of the top is substantially planar. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the container consists of one or more metallic layers. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the top consists of one or more metallic layers. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the container has a floor substantially parallel to the central portion of the top and side walls obliquely extending from the floor between the floor and the top. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the central portion of the top and the container include metallic surfaces in contact with the smoking material. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the top and the container are joined by a crimped junction about the smoking material. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the crimped junction omits adhesive. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the top and the container are joined by an adhesive. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the smoking material is selected from a group of smoking materials consisting of: tobacco, tobamel, khansar, Ma'sal, Tumbak, Jurak, sugar cane bagasse and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the container and the top are formed from a metallic foil. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a hookah having the hookah bowl, wherein the container is received within the bowl. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the top at least partially extends over the smoking material in the container, wherein the top is configured to be manually perforated by a sharp object in areas overlying the smoking material and wherein the top has an outwardly facing surface that is either flat or concave so as to retain hot coals above the container. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the top is configured to be manually separated from the container. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus  1  of  claim 1 , wherein the top is configured to cooperate with the bowl to seal the floor of the container within the bowl. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a smoking material additive joining or sealing between the container and the top.

         26 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the top comprises one or more foils sufficiently taught to be suspended over and out of contact with the smoking material. 
     
     
         27 . An apparatus comprising:
 a capsule comprising:   a smoking material;   a container retaining the smoking material, the container having a floor with portions configured to be manually punctured or manually removed; and   a top joined to the container to capture the smoking material within the container with portions configured to be manually punctured or manually removed; and   a smoking material additive joining or sealing between the container and the top.   
     
     
         28 . The apparatus of  claim 27 , wherein the smoking material additive comprises molasses. 
     
     
         29 . An apparatus comprising:
 a capsule comprising:   a smoking material;   a container retaining the smoking material, the container having a floor with portions configured to be manually punctured or manually removed; and   a top joined to the container to capture the smoking material within the container with portions configured to be manually punctured or manually removed, wherein at least a portion of the top is configured to be manually separated from the container.
