PMI Marlboro Vista Sakura Blossom: New Cigarette in South Korea
Philip Morris Korea is set to release a new product, Marlboro Vista Sakura Mist, expanding their line to five options.

According to the latest report from South Korean media, Philip Morris Korea is set to launch a new product, the "Marlboro Vista Sakura Mist" cigarette, on the 25th. This is part of the Marlboro Vista Ultra Slim series and serves as a follow-up to the previously released "Marlboro Forest Mist" and "Marlboro Vista Tropical Breeze" products.

 

With the launch of this new product, the Marlboro Vista series has expanded to a total of five, offering consumers more choices. It is worth noting that this is the first 1mg ultrafine strip product in the Vista series, featuring a unique single-capsule form, providing consumers with a new smoking experience.

 

In addition to capsules and fresh filters, the new product also maintains the unique tobacco flavor of the Vistra series through scent boards and cigarette papers on the top of the product, effectively managing the taste experience of the hands and mouth.

 

Marlboro, a brand with a history of nearly 100 years since its first launch in 1924, has held the title of global best-selling brand for 50 consecutive years since 1972. It is present in more than 170 countries.

 

The "Malboro Vista Sakura Blossom Mist" will be available for sale nationwide in convenience stores and retail stores starting from January 25th, with a recommended retail price of 4500 Korean won.
