TEREA UAE for IQOS ILUMA — the local edition, AED 200 to 240
This is the range sold through UAE retail, held in our Dubai stock rather than imported per order. It is the most expensive origin we carry, and the most tobacco-weighted: six of the eight sticks here are plain tobacco, with only two menthol options. If you want a wide menthol choice, the Japanese range is the one to look at instead.
Most variants are AED 200. Bronze and Teak sit at AED 240.
Which UAE flavour should you pick?
For full tobacco, Sienna and Amber are the two most ordered. Sienna reads slightly rounder, Amber slightly drier. Either works if you are switching from full-strength cigarettes.
Bronze adds a nutty depth and Teak brings a woodier, more aromatic profile. These are the two priced at AED 240.
For a lighter draw, Silver and Yellow are the mildest tobacco sticks in the UAE line.
The two menthol options are Turquoise Menthol, a straight mint with nothing layered over it, and Purple Wave, which carries a crushable berry capsule.

Is the UAE edition worth the extra cost?
Straight answer: not for the tobacco itself. A UAE carton holds the same 10 packs of 20 sticks as an Indonesian carton at AED 125. The gap is local excise and duty, which is charged on stock destined for UAE retail and is not charged the same way on the other origins.
Where it does make sense to pay it:
- You bought TEREA in a UAE shop, know exactly what that pack tastes like, and want the same thing again
- You want stock that ships the same day without waiting on an import batch
- You prefer packs carrying the local Arabic labelling
If none of those apply, Kazakh Amber at AED 130 sits close to UAE Amber in character and saves AED 70 a carton.

Device compatibility
TEREA works only with SMARTCORE INDUCTION devices: the ILUMA range and the newer ILUMA i range, including ILUMA i One.
It will not fit IQOS 3 DUO, IQOS Originals or any older blade holder — those take HEETS. Send a photo of your device on WhatsApp if you are unsure and we will confirm before you order.
Stock and delivery
UAE stock is the one origin we hold locally rather than importing per batch, so it is the most consistently available range on the site and dispatches the same day your order is confirmed.
Dubai deliveries typically arrive within 1 to 2 hours. Sharjah and Ajman are same-day; the remaining emirates are next business day. Cash on delivery is available across all seven emirates.
Frequently asked questions
Why does TEREA UAE cost more than the Indonesian or Kazakh version?
Local excise and duty. Every carton holds the same 10 packs of 20 sticks regardless of origin. The UAE edition is stock intended for local retail, which carries a tax the imported ranges do not.
Why are Bronze and Teak priced higher than the rest?
Both sit at AED 240 against AED 200 for the other six. They come in at a higher cost to us, and we hold them in smaller quantities than the core tobacco line.
Does the UAE range have menthol flavours?
Only two: Turquoise Menthol and Purple Wave. If you smoke menthol regularly, the Japanese range carries a far wider selection including Mint, Menthol, Black Menthol, Bright Menthol, Fusion Menthol and the Pearl capsule variants.
Is UAE TEREA the same tobacco as the other origins?
The blends are formulated separately for each market, so a flavour name shared across origins will not taste identical. UAE Amber and Kazakh Amber are close but not the same stick.
Will UAE TEREA work with my ILUMA i?
Yes. Origin does not affect compatibility. Any TEREA stick fits any SMARTCORE INDUCTION device, including ILUMA, ILUMA ONE, ILUMA PRIME and the full ILUMA i range.
