Zusammenfassung:	Described are a unit (1) and a method for checking the integrity of flavouring capsules in rod-shaped smoking articles (100). The unit (1) comprises a conveying drum (10) configured to convey a succession of rod-shaped articles (100) transversely along a conveying path (L) passing through an inspection area, a blowing device (20) located in the inspection area and configured to deliver a jet or puff of air into a first end (101) of at least some of the articles (100) in transit through the inspection area, and a detector (30), located in the inspection area on a second side of the conveying drum (10), opposite the first side, and configured to analyse at least one chemical and/or physical property of the air flow. The unit (1) also comprises at least a first shutter (50) associated with the inlet opening (32) of the detector (30) and configured to produce an alternating succession of open and closed configurations of the inlet opening during the operation of the unit (1).
