Our notes

Most capsule cigarettes taste like a cleaning product. Option Purple does not — the burst is a soft, jammy grape that sits on top of the Mevius base rather than replacing it, and it fades gracefully over the second half of the stick.

It is a novelty, but it is a well-made one, and the underlying blend is the same reliable Mevius engineering.

What works

Capsule flavour is restrained and convincing
Base blend remains legible after the crush
Same build quality as the Original

What does not

Flavour fades noticeably in the final third
Capsule occasionally fails to rupture cleanly
