As shown in the drawing, the package set 10 has a plurality of (five in the drawing) cigarette packages 20, a base 12 for arranging the cigarette packages 20, and a thin plate extending upward from the end of the base 12. 13. The packaging kit 10 is used by a smoker to allow, for example, a majority of individuals to test (suck) a plurality of types of cigarettes. Choose the brand (category) of the cigarette you like.

The cigarette package 20 contains different types of cigarettes. On the other hand, as will be described later, the cigarette package 20 is configured such that the type of the cigarette to be contained cannot be specified depending on the appearance. That is, the cigarette package 20 is designed in such a manner that it is impossible to know which cigarette is contained in its appearance.

The cigarette contained in the cigarette package 20 is a cigarette that is wound by, for example, a plain paper roll so that the type of the cigarette is not specified. Further, the smoker who uses the package kit 10 tests the cigarettes contained in each cigarette package 20, respectively. Therefore, the cigarettes accommodated in each cigarette package 20 are shorter than ordinary cigarettes. It is preferably about 75 mm or less. In this way, the time for continuously smoking a cigarette during the test can be shortened, so that a plurality of brands of cigarettes can be tried in a limited time, and the favorite label can be selected by intuition.

The susceptor 12 is, for example, a substantially hexagonal plate-shaped body, and a plurality of (five in the drawing) concave portions 14 (corresponding to an example of the arranging portion) of the individual cigarette package 20 are disposed on the upper surface. The recess 14 is provided along the circumferential direction of the susceptor 12.
