  • the liquid addition section 25 described above is installed in front of the cutting section 26 in the conveyance path of the flavor sheet 2. This is preferable because the liquid can be added all at once to the entire flavor sheet 2 before cutting.

  • the flavor rod 1 is not limited to the filling form of the embodiment. Specifically, in the case shown in FIG. 1, the porosity of the flavor rod 1 is approximately 0%, in other words, the filling rate of the sheet laminate 10 in the flavor rod 1 is approximately 100%.
  • the porosity of the flavor rod 1 is calculated by the following formula, where A: the cross-sectional area in the thickness direction of each flavor sheet 2, B: the cross-sectional area in the thickness direction of the susceptor sheet 6, and C: the longitudinal cross-sectional area of the flavor rod 1. be done.

  • the porosity of the flavor rod 1 will be at least greater than 0, preferably 10% or more and less than 80%.
  • each flavor sheet 2 and susceptor sheet 6 have the same sheet width. Thereby, each flavor sheet 2 can be efficiently heated by the susceptor sheet 6. Moreover, the sheet width of the susceptor sheet 6 may be larger than the sheet width of each flavor sheet 2. As a result, the sheet width of the susceptor sheet 6 can have a margin, so even if a positional shift occurs in each flavor sheet 2 or susceptor sheet 6 when the sheet stack 10 is folded into an S-shape, It is difficult to form a region (non-contact region) where each flavor sheet 2 does not contact the susceptor sheet 6.
  • the sheet width of the susceptor sheet 6 may be made larger than the sheet width of each flavor sheet 2, and the above-mentioned non-contact portion may be intentionally formed.
  • the manner in which each flavor sheet 2 is heated by the susceptor sheet 6 can be controlled by adjusting the area of the non-contact portion. Specifically, the portion of each flavor sheet 2 that is in contact with the susceptor sheet 6 is rapidly heated, and flavor components are rapidly delivered to the user.
  • each flavor sheet 2 near the aforementioned non-contact area is heated with a delay and delivered to the user at the end of the number of suctions (puffs) allowed for the article.
  • flavour segment formed from the flavor rod 1 described above can be used in various flavor suction articles in combination with other segments.
