FARSTARHERITAGE
THE FARSTAR HERITAGE
A Brand Heritage Continued in HNB
Farstar's history reaches back to the 1990s. Since 2019, China Tobacco Henan has developed Farstar HNB by carrying established tobacco expertise into new product systems for international markets.
For Farstar, heritage is not an archive—it is a foundation for consistent product development.
DEVELOPMENT LOGIC
One Development Base. Two Heating Systems.
Across the Farstar ranges, blend characteristics and stick structure are aligned with the heating principle and compatible device. This creates two directions: Classic for widely used blade-heating devices and NSC as a distinct circumferential-heating system.
FARSTAR · INTEGRATED HNB DEVELOPMENT
From Tobacco to a Coordinated System
Both ranges draw on China Tobacco Henan's manufacturing and technical research base. Classic works within the familiar blade-heating format, while NSC combines a purpose-designed stick with dedicated devices.
