  • the mouthpiece 5 includes a filter 52 and a center hole filter 54 in this order towards the mouth end.
  • a publicly known solid filter member such as an acetate filter or a paper filter
  • a paper filter is a paper-filled filter prepared by creasing paper through processing with a crepe roller or the like and by rolling the paper using a plug wrapper.
  • An acetate filter is a filter filled with cellulose acetate fibers.
  • the monofilament fineness of fibers that constitute an acetate filter is preferably 5 to 12 (denier/filament) and more preferably 5 to 8 (denier/filament).
  • the total fineness of the fibers is preferably 12,000 to 35,000 (denier/total) and more preferably 20,000 to 30,000 (denier/total).

  • the hole diameter exceeds the set values, there are the risk of impairing holding sensation in the mouth since the filter hardness cannot be ensured and further the risk of lowering durability when getting wet with saliva or the like due to the small thickness.

  • the filter 52 and the center hole filter 54 each wrapped in a filter wrapper may be joined with a filter paper (filter outer wrapper).
  • the diameter of the mouthpiece 5 is not limited but is preferably the same as the diameter of the cooling segment 3.
  • the center hole filter 54 preferably has a certain hardness. This is because the center hole filter 54 is not readily deform and hence reduces the contact area with the lips of a user, thereby making the user feel less the uncomfortable temperature.
  • a hardness in the present invention indicates the resistance of a member to deform as disclosed in paragraphs [0010] to [0014] of Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication (Translation of PCT Application) No. 2016-523565 .

Since the amount of an aerosol to be generated is less in a non-combustion heating type flavor inhaler than in a common combustion-type flavor inhaler, it is preferable to reduce the loss of the aerosol in the center hole filter.
  • the center hole filter preferably has a relatively high filling density of tow in the wall portion as long as high-speed production is possible.
  • the monofilament fineness and the total fineness within the above-mentioned numerical ranges, it is possible to obtain a center hole filter that has a low filtration ratio and that is suitable for use.
  • triacetin may be used as a plasticizer. The amount of triacetin to be added is preferably 10 to 20 weight% relative to the tow weight.
  • a tipping paper 7 refers to a paper used for joining two or more of the tobacco rod 1, the cooling segment 3, and the mouthpiece 5. Meanwhile, a wrapper refers to a paper for wrapping around individual members that constitute the tobacco rod 1, the cooling segment 3, or the mouthpiece 5.

  • cellulose fibers may be either derived from plants or chemically synthesized, or may be a mixture thereof.
  • Exemplary plant-derived fibers include pulp of flax fibers, wood fibers, or seed fibers, for example. Such pulp may be colored unbleached pulp.
  • bleached pulp which is prepared using a bleaching agent, such as an oxidant or a reductant.
  • a citric acid alkali metal salt or the like is used as a common burning chemical (combustion aid, for example) that can affect the spontaneous combustion rate of the paper wrapper. Since the present invention is directed to a heating type flavor inhaler, a wrapper need not contain a burning chemical. Moreover, different from common cigarettes, a tobacco filler of the present invention may contain an aerosol source as in the foregoing. In this case, it is preferable to use an oil- and water-resistant paper wrapper as a tipping paper.

  • the upper limit is preferably 50 g/m 2 or less, more preferably 45 g/m 2 or less, and further preferably 40 g/m 2 or less.
  • the basis weight can be measured by the method specified in JIS P 8124.
  • a non-combustion heating type flavor inhaler of the present invention may include members excluding those described above unless the effects of the invention diminish. Exemplary such members include a supporting member. These members may be disposed at any position but are preferably not disposed in the mouth end. Moreover, a non-combustion heating type flavor inhaler of the present invention may include a carbon heat source on the upstream side of the tobacco rod, in other words, at the tip of the flavor inhaler. In this embodiment, the tobacco rod is heated by the carbon heat source. However, a non-combustion heating type flavor inhaler of the present invention is particularly useful for a system in an electric heating mode in which a heating temperature is higher than in a heating mode with a carbon heat source.
  • the non-combustion heating type flavor inhaler of the present invention prevents a user from feeling uncomfortable about the temperature near the mouth end during use (during inhalation). The reason is not limited but is presumably as follows.
  • the non-combustion heating type flavor inhaler of the present invention includes, as a mouthpiece, a filter 52 and a center hole filter 54 in this order in the mouth end direction. An aerosol is first introduced into the filter 52. When the aerosol is introduced into the center hole filter 54 from the filter 52, the draw resistance decreases and the flow channel narrows abruptly. On this occasion, the flow rate of the aerosol increases to shorten the time to remain in the center hole filter 54. For this reason, it is presumed that a user feels less the uncomfortable high temperature.
  • a non-combustion heating type flavor inhaler of the present invention can be manufactured by: preparing a tobacco rod 1 and a mouthpiece 5; and wrapping a tipping paper 7 therearound such that a cooling segment 3 is formed between the tobacco rod 1 and the mouthpiece 5.

  • the heater preferably includes a heating unit equipped with a power source and so forth.

  • 10 is a non-combustion heating type flavor inhaler
  • 30 is a heating unit equipped with a heater.
  • a heater may be disposed around the tobacco rod 1 or may be inserted into the tobacco rod 1.
