New tobacco flavors and devices released in Japan
Japanese tobacco companies release new products and flavors for heated tobacco devices, including JT's "Ploom X" and FiM's "IQOS ILUMA".

In August, Japan Tobacco (JT) released a new flavor and exclusive accessories for their heated tobacco product "Ploom X". Additionally, Philip Morris released a new flavor pod specifically for the IQOS ILUMA in Japan, while British American Tobacco Japan (BAT Japan) launched new tobacco sticks for their "glo hyper" product.


Möbius Red debuts.


Starting from September 2nd, Japan Tobacco Inc. has begun selling the "Mebius Option Red" pods containing Ploom X at convenience stores and tobacco outlets throughout the country. The price is 570 Japanese yen per pod. These pods are characterized by a refreshing mint flavor and a sweet apple taste.


无法独善其身,它向周围环境辐射出强烈的红色光芒,这可能是其叫做红的原因。 The Möbius strip cannot exist on its own, as it emits a strong red glow that radiates into its surrounding environment. This may be why it is referred to as "red".


Furthermore, JT has collaborated with world-renowned designer Yoichi Takagi of fashion brand "White Mountaineering" to create a special edition of their heated tobacco device, "Plume X". Takagi, a loyal user of "Plume X", drew inspiration from the Karuizawa Studio to ensure the device provides the most comfortable user experience.


Two original special edition IQOS models created in collaboration with Yosuke Aizawa, including the "Burgundy Sapphire" edition, have been released for sale.


Phimo Tobacco has released specialized pods for the IQOS ILUMA called "TERIA" and "Teria Ruby Regular", which are available for purchase in all IQOS stores and counters throughout Japan. The pods come in packs of 20 and are priced at 580 Japanese yen.
