Centia by Icos Ilma is available in the Kanto region! Nationwide release from Icos.

2026-10-1 price revision: list by brand and annual cost difference

Good evening,Heated cigarette blogger Genki (@MOQLOG_JP)It is.

Most of the tobacco tax hike left them unchanged, but cigarettes have really become more expensive.

In addition, the economy is in a bad shape, and many people want to buy at a low price! In such a case, the low-priced series are the ones that attracts attention..

These low-priced cigarettes are a few tens of yen different from the Icos 3 heats, but when the dust settles, they are nanchara, and I believe they play a pretty important role, but in the Kanto area, the only option is the 580 yen Terrier when using Icos Ilma.

But finally, the official Icos news announced the nationwide release of the low-priced "Scentia" at a price of 530 yen!

I am very happy to hear this news, as Scentia had not yet been released in the Kanto area, where I live! In this article, I will give you the dates of Sentia's nationwide launch and review information about Sentia.

Why Sentia was not sold in Kanto

When we asked the icos store to check, they told us that the same low-cost version of Heats was not selling well in some areas, such as the Kanto region.

Therefore, some areas, such as the Kansai region, where Heats has been selling well, were selected for the pre-launch.

There are some doubts because of the large population in Kanto, but Philip Morris has solid statistics, so I guess they must be right.

Anyway, after completing test sales in some areas such as the Kansai region, the product was finally launched nationwide.

I asked at an IQOS store why the Centia in IQOS Irma was not sold in Tokyo!

Details of Sentia's nationwide launch

Kantou (eastern half of Japan, including Tokyo)and other areas that have not yet been sold will be available on July 15!

Sentia is also quite good in taste,After all, it is 50 yen cheaper per box compared to terrier.

Moreover, it is important to note that there was no price increase due to the cigarette tax hike.

Devices are no longer much more expensive than other companies, and as a consumer, I am thankful for that.

While Glow's low price remains eye-catching, the prices of the dedicated cigarettes are about the same for all three companies.

Until now, devices have cost around 10,000 yen, and cigarettes are 30 to 50 yen more expensive than other companies'...that was my impression of Icos.

But the devices will also be the same price as the Aicos Ilma One and Ploom X, plus the launch of a dedicated cigarette for ¥530,The impression that Icos are expensive is completely gone..

Is Sentier good?

A review of each of the Sentia flavors is included below for those interested.

Here are my impressions after smoking the 6 flavors available at the time; overall, they shared the following characteristics.

• The draw is a bit light, and the feel of the smoke is also a bit light.
• The menthol flavor is even more pronounced due to the increased air intake.
• Odors, etc. are reduced compared to HEETS.

I didn't really like HEETS Deep Bronze, but I think it was the best of the 6 flavors I smoked!.

Despite the above differences, the base is the same, so I could get used to it after a few days of smoking.

When will the rest of the Scentia flavors be available?

With the same flavors as HEETS on the market, one wonders when the rest of the flavors will be available.

We have no information on this yet, but the IQOS store told us that it will be released at the right time....

To back this up, each manufacturer receives approval for its sales price from the Ministry of Finance when launching a new product, and all remaining flavors have been approved!.

As far as I know, there are no flavors that have been approved and not released, so there is no doubt that they will be released at the right time.
