What is the IQOS ILUMA i Prime Garnet Red?
The IQOS ILUMA i Prime Garnet Red is a heat-not-burn tobacco device made by Philip Morris International and designed exclusively for use with TEREA Smartcore sticks. It uses electromagnetic induction to heat tobacco from within the stick without any blade contact, producing no ash, no tobacco residue inside the holder, and no cleaning requirements at any point. The Garnet Red finish features an anodized aluminum body in a deep, jewel-toned crimson paired with a textured leather-style wrap that gives it a distinctly executive feel in the hand. It is the top model in the IQOS ILUMA lineup and the only version to include a touch screen display on the holder itself.
