BLENDS Sticks: Gold, Silver and the Differences<\/h1>\n

What are BLENDS sticks, and are they cigarettes?<\/h2>\n
\n Short answer<\/span><\/p>\n

BLENDS are real heated tobacco sticks by IQOS, made exclusively for the BONDS device.<\/strong> Four variants are available: Gold, Silver, Beige and Green Menthol. They are not cigarettes: nothing is lit, nothing burns, and no ash is produced. The device heats the tobacco from the outside. A pack holds 20 sticks and a carton holds 200.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The most common search on these products is typed literally as “blends cigarettes”, which shows how widespread the confusion is. BLENDS is not a cigarette pack in a new shape, and it is not vaping: heated tobacco is a category of its own.<\/p>\n

    The four variants at a glance<\/h2>\n

    All four run on one device. What separates them is character, intensity and menthol:<\/p>\n

    How a BLENDS stick works<\/h2>\n

    The stick is compressed real tobacco, ready to use with no filling or assembly. You insert it into the IQOS BONDS device, which runs the ROUNDHEAT TOBACCO SYSTEM\u2122<\/strong>: external resistive heating that surrounds the stick, with no internal blade going through the tobacco. Heating instead of burning has three practical consequences:<\/p>\n
