Esse 1

Esse 1 cigarettes are primarily available in Asia, the Middle East, and CIS regions like Russia. In the UK, USA, or Europe, availability may vary due to local tobacco regulations. Some specialized retailers or online platforms may stock them, but always verify your country’s import laws and age restrictions (typically 18+ or 21+ depending on the region) before purchasing.

Esse 1 stands out for its ultra-slim design, mild flavor, and carbon filters, delivering a smooth smoking experience. With 1mg tar and 0.1mg nicotine per cigarette, it caters to those seeking a lighter option. Originally launched in South Korea in 1996, the brand has gained popularity globally for its balance of quality and subtlety.

If you prefer mild, super-slim cigarettes like Esse 1, consider alternatives such as Esse Change (with flavor capsules), Esse Lights, or other brands like Vogue or Capri. Always check tar/nicotine levels and local availability, as regulations differ across countries.

While Esse 1’s low tar and compact design produce less smoke than regular cigarettes, all smoking releases harmful chemicals. Always adhere to local smoking laws and avoid indoor use where prohibited. Note: Tobacco products are not risk-free.

Esse’s sleek packaging, light taste, and smooth filters align with preferences for discreet, elegant smoking in these regions. KT&G (its manufacturer) strategically marketed Esse as a premium yet affordable choice, leading to rapid growth in Russia and CIS countries after its 2006 expansion.
