1. An inductively heatable aerosol-forming rod for an aerosol-generating article, the aerosol-forming rod comprising:
one cylindrical core portion comprising at least one of a first aerosol-forming substrate and a first flavoring material;
at least one elongate susceptor laterally abutting the cylindrical core portion in a non-bonded manner along a longitudinal axis of the aerosol-forming rod; and
a sleeve portion arranged around the cylindrical core portion and the susceptor, the sleeve portion comprising at least one of a filler material, a second aerosol-forming substrate, and a second flavoring material,
wherein the susceptor is in physical contact with both the sleeve portion and the core portion.
