BAT Japan Introduces Innovative StickSeal Technology
British American Tobacco Japan announced the launch of "neo" with StickSeal technology for their heated tobacco product "glo.

According to a report by Impress Watch on April 23, British American Tobacco Japan recently announced that their heated tobacco product "glo" will be incorporating a new technology called "StickSeal" in their exclusive tobacco stick "neo". This technology ensures that the cigarette leaf does not fall into the device. Additionally, the company will launch two regular blend varieties on May 7 and will apply the new technology to eight new product lines.

 

The working principle of StickSeal technology is to seal the front end of the pod, preventing any tobacco residue from being left inside the device after use, thus eliminating the need for cleaning with a brush.

 

The new products include two exclusive varieties of glo hyper, "Neo Classic Tobacco" and "Neo Smooth Tobacco". The new series, including the new "Neo Mild Tobacco", feature carefully selected tobacco leaves and a new formula. These tobacco products use premium Virginia and Oriental tobacco as ingredients, with the addition of the aromatic and rare leaf portion "web leaf", and undergo minimal processing to maintain a high-quality taste and improve the quality of flavor components.
