Abstract: A smoking jig using a pot-type heating method is provided. After smoking by putting tobacco leaves into the smoking jig, a user may remove tobacco leaves remaining after finishing smoking and put the tobacco leaves to an ashtray by performing an operation called “Shag-Pon.” However, in the case of a smoking jig using a pin-type heating method, a user cannot discard the tobacco leaves remaining after finishing smoking to an ashtray after smoking by putting tobacco leaves into the smoking jig. Accordingly, a notch is formed at a part of a tobacco leaf insertion tube so that pellet-shaped tobacco leaves are placed into the notch. As a result, a user may pull both a mouthpiece and the tobacco leaf insertion tube out of the smoking jig and remove the tobacco leaves remaining after finishing smoking from the notch and put the tobacco leaves to an ashtray.
