Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a technique which, while avoiding excessive conduction of heat to the flavor source, reduces variance of heat conduction, and which makes it possible to reduce the weight and the cost of the flavor inhaler. This purpose is met by a flavor inhaler which, provided with a cylindrical holding member which extends along a prescribed direction from a lighting end to a non-lighting end, comprises a combustion-type heat source which is disposed at the lighting end, a flavor source which, in the aforementioned prescribed direction, is arranged towards the non-lighting end with respect to the combustion-type heat source, a cup-shape cup member which holds the flavor source and has a side wall and a bottom plate, and a heat conductive member which covers at least a portion of the lateral surface of the cup member and the combustion-type heat source and is arranged between the cup member and the holding member, wherein the cup member is arranged with the bottom plate thereof disposed towards the non-lighting end with respect to the combustion-type heat source, and is inserted into the holding member oriented so as to open towards the lighting end or oriented so as to open towards the non-lighting end, and at least the side wall and the bottom plate configuring the cup member are configured from a material containing pulp and a binder.
