Following Sichuan China Tobacco and Yunnan China Tobacco, Hubei China Tobacco has also launched its own heated tobacco sticks under the COO brand.

On July 5, IQOS launched new colorful holder options in Korea, with some design changes from the Christmas limited edition. They are available at Korean IQOS stores.

Yunnan Tobacco’s MC (Microbye) heater uses a split magnetic design and a ceramic blade similar to IQOS. A full charge supports about 20 tobacco sticks, with more than 5 minutes or around 14 puffs per stick.

After the pink and blue versions, IQOS has launched a new pure red 3rd generation device in South Korea.

As heated tobacco continues to grow worldwide, China’s provincial tobacco companies are also developing heated tobacco sticks, mainly for overseas markets.

Sichuan Tobacco’s Kuanzhai tobacco sticks are currently a popular product. Although 11 flavors are said to exist, only a few are actually available on the market right now.

Marlboro has added two more HEETS flavors in Korea: Apple and Whisky. The Korean lineup now includes mild and strong original, mild and strong mint, Hami melon, apple, and whisky.

A teardown of the Ferrari Edition IQOS suggests a key upgrade in the blade structure, now using a two-layer design. The change may help reduce heat impact on the mainboard compared with older models.

In June, Sichuan China Tobacco showcased 11 flavors of its Kuanzhai heated tobacco sticks.

The domestic market has recently been flooded with counterfeit lil devices, many with packaging nearly identical to the genuine product. Buyers should stick to trusted sellers to avoid fakes.

This teardown compares lil Plus with the original lil after KT&G’s May launch. It reviews official upgrade claims such as dual heating and checks whether the actual differences match the marketing.

Sichuan Tobacco released a World Cup limited-edition overseas version of the Kung Fu Blue Smurf. Compared with the first version, it is about half the weight and extends usage time by roughly 20 seconds.
