Flavor stick, non-combustion heating type flavor suction product, and method for manufacturing flavor rod

A non-combustion type flavor inhalation apparatus comprising:

• a flavor inhalation device including a heating chamber and an internal heater that is arranged to be protrude in the heating chamber;
• and
• a flavor stick including a flavor rod,
• wherein the flavor rod is inserted into the heating chamber of the flavor inhalation device, and the flavor rod is heated by the internal heater of the flavor inhalation device,
• wherein the flavor rod includes an outer rolling paper, and a plurality of flavor compacts disposed inside the outer rolling paper and formed into a first shape, and
• wherein each of the plurality of flavor compacts is positioned and held on an inner surface of the outer rolling paper, and a heater insertion hole for inserting the internal heater from a front end side of the flavor rod is formed along an axial direction in a central portion of a transverse cross section of the flavor rod, to accommodate the internal heater of the flavor inhalation device therein in a state that flavor rod is inserted into the heating chamber of the flavor inhalation device.

A production method for producing a flavor rod comprising:

• placing a plurality of elongate flavor compact material sheets in parallel to one another on an upper surface of an elongate outer rolling paper material sheet;
• wrapping the elongate outer rolling paper material sheet into a cylindrical shape while conveying the plurality of elongate flavor compact material sheets and the elongate outer rolling paper material sheet along a conveying path of a wrapping machine to form an elongate flavor rod;
• and
• cutting the elongate flavor rod to the flavor rod with a first length in an axial direction in a central portion of a transverse cross section of the flavor rod, wherein in the flavor rod, a plurality of flavor compacts is positioned and held on an inner surface of an outer rolling paper, and a heater insertion hole for accommodating an internal heater of a flavor inhalation device from a front end side of the flavor rod is formed along the axial direction in the central portion of a transverse cross section of the flavor rod.
