IQOS HEETS Clear Silver Heatstick

HEETS All 4 Types

 

Although limited regional sales in 2018, nationwide sales began in 2019.

There are 3 types of regular and only 1 menthol.

 

 

HEETS Deep Bronze

Deep bronze is a so-called "regular" type flavor. It is expressed as "Kokuuma" on the IQOS official site.

Deep Bronze is like Marlboro Heatstick Regular. If you like the taste of Marlboro Regular, this is the one for you. Deep Bronze might be a little light tobacco taste, but you can enjoy the deep and rich flavor.

 

HEETS Balanced Yellow

Balanced yellow is a so-called "regular" type flavor. On the IQOS official site, it is expressed as "mild." It looks like citrus-based menthol, but it is regular. This is a bit lighter than Deep Bronze. You can feel the taste of tobacco quite well, but it's mild and a good impression. Balanced Yellow is recommended to those who smoke the Balanced of Marlboro heatstick now.

 

HEETS Clear Silver

Clear Silver is a so-called "regular" type flavor. It is expressed as "light" on the IQOS official site. This is similar to the "Smooth Regular" that already sold. The taste of tobacco is firm and this is recommended as it is delicious and easy to suck.

 

HEETS Fresh Emerald

Last is the only menthol cartridge cigarette. Fresh Emerald is a so-called "menthol" type flavor. It is expressed as "fresh" on the IQOS official site. The taste is not bad but the menthol is weak. If you're smoking Marlboro Heatstick mint now, you will like it. But when you compare with Marlboro's Menthol and this Fresh Emerald, you might be unsatisfied with the strength of Menthol.

Disassemble tobacco ashes and filters, but we do not see any difference.

Although there may be a difference in comparison strictly, we could not find it, so there might be simply a difference between package and leaf quality.

 

 

All in all, if you are thinking to try the new heat stick, HEETS or considering to change it from the original Heatsticks, you will comfortably try this new four types.

Especially for people who regularly smoke Regular, some of them will feel even better than the previous one.

Again, the regular type is just like normal "tobacco", and this refers to the usual tobacco flavor.

 

Strength is in the order below

Regular　→　Smooth Regular　→　Balanced Regular

 

Please refer to the following as a guide to select.

 

・ If you want to smoke a very heavy cigarette: Regular

・ You want to smoke regular, but if you don't want to feel heavy taste : Smooth Regular

・ If you want to smoke a cigarette that's light but not menthol: Balanced Regular

 

Smooth regulars tend to be popular, as many people are seeking "lightness" for heated cigarettes.

※  Also, orange and brown regulars are a bit irregular.

 

 

What does orange and brown regular taste like?

 

There are pros and cons about these two flavors, for example, the following reviews.

 

 

 

 

 

There are various opinions about each flavor.

 

Brown = chocolate & western liquor (wines and spirits)

Orange = Citrus, Fruit

 

Those are the impression. Both have the richness of Regular Taste (especially Brown is deep taste), but the distinctive taste spreads out.

 

 

 

Menthol Type

 

Next is Menthol

Strength is in the order below

Menthol　→　Yellow Menthol　→　Purple Menthol　→　Mint

 

Please refer to the following as a guide to select.

・Want to taste a strong menthol! : Menthol

・Want to taste a cigarette with menthol! : Yellow Menthol

・Want to enjoy the sweet smell! : Purple Menthol

・Want to enjoy a little Menthol! : Mint

 

Purple Menthol that appeared this time has a slightly different viewpoint. You can enjoy the sweet smell, so you can change the atmosphere and mood.

 

If this is your first experience with IQOS, "Mint" is highly recommended.

 

 

☁Espan>  If you want a refreshing feeling, Yellow Menthol

 

Stronger menthol than Mint, but not as strong as "Menthol". Yellow Menthol will match the needs.

 

 

☁Espan>  If you want to smoke "Tobacco", Regular

Even if it is a heating type cigarette, if you want to taste the feeling of tobacco firmly, it will be the Regular after all.

 

 

☁Espan>  If you smoke Regular First, Smooth Regular

IQOS "Regular" could be too strong in some way. Heating cigarettes are different from ordinary cigarettes because you smoke steam, but if the steam is strong, you feel the taste is too strong.

 

☁Espan>  Purple Menthol for sweetness

If you want to enjoy the citrus sweetness and sour flavor.
