Best Capsule Cigarettes in Australia 2026: Marlboro, Mevius & Kent

Best Capsule Cigarettes in Australia 2026: Marlboro, Mevius & Kent

If you are searching for the best capsule cigarettes in Australia, you already know what a crush-ball cigarette does: click the bead in the filter and the smoke changes — menthol, fruit or a stronger hit, on demand. Capsule (also called “click” or “blast”) cigarettes are one of the most popular adult choices sold online in Australia because one carton gives you two ways to smoke.

This guide compares the capsule cigarettes actually in stock at Soulssky in 2026, with real carton prices in Australian dollars. We have tested the range, checked the differences, and picked a clear winner for each type of smoker. Prices below are the current listed carton prices (a carton is 10 packs / 200 sticks) and were verified before publishing.

How capsule cigarettes work

A capsule cigarette has one or two liquid-filled beads inside the filter. You smoke the first part normally; then you click or crush the bead with your fingers and the flavour changes mid-smoke. Single-capsule packs give you one extra flavour (usually menthol or ice). Double-capsule packs let you crush one bead, both beads, or neither — so one carton can cover regular, menthol and a third flavour profile.

Best overall: Marlboro Double Blast — A$195.00

Marlboro Double Blast is the pick if you want the full capsule experience. With two crushable beads, you can smoke it straight, crush one bead for a cool menthol hit, or crush both for the strongest ice blast. It is a full-flavour cigarette, so it suits adult smokers who usually buy Marlboro Red or similar strength and want the flexibility of a capsule without giving up body. At A$195.00 per carton it sits at the top of the Marlboro capsule range, and it is the most complete answer to “best capsule cigarettes” on this list.

Strongest menthol: Marlboro Ice Blast Mega 8mg (Japan) — A$195.00

If you want a serious cold hit, the Japan-market Marlboro Ice Blast Mega is the strongest menthol capsule here. The 8mg strength keeps the tobacco present while the ice capsule delivers a long, cold finish that menthol fans notice immediately. It is the same A$195.00 carton price as the Double Blast, so the choice comes down to double-capsule flexibility versus a bigger single menthol punch.

Best flavour: Mevius Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol OptionPurple 8 — A$182.00

Mevius is famous in Australia for smooth, refined Japanese blends, and the Premium Blueberry Blast is the most interesting capsule in the range. Crush the bead and you get a sweet blueberry note layered over the signature Mevius smoothness, with menthol cooling in the background. It is not as intense as Marlboro’s ice capsules, which is exactly why flavour-first smokers prefer it. At A$182.00 per carton it is the best pick for anyone who wants a flavoured capsule rather than a pure ice blast.

Best switchable: Vietnamese Kent Switch — A$169.00

Kent Switch works differently from most capsules: it is designed to let you switch between regular and menthol at will, with a balanced medium strength that works as an everyday smoke. Vietnamese Kent is well regarded among Australian buyers for its consistent quality, and the Switch variant is the entry point if you have never tried a capsule cigarette before. At A$169.00 it is also the cheapest capsule from the big international brands in this comparison.

Best budget: Marlboro lce Blast — A$149.50

Marlboro lce Blast gives you a genuine Marlboro ice capsule at A$149.50 — the lowest price of any Marlboro capsule carton. It is a single-capsule, medium-strength cigarette, so it is simpler than the Double Blast but delivers the same clean, cold finish when crushed. For adult smokers who want the Marlboro capsule experience without spending A$195.00, this is the value pick.

Best slim: Esse Change Mint Ice Blast 4mg — A$149.50

Esse Change Mint Ice Blast 4mg is the super-slim capsule option. The 4mg strength and slim 100mm format make it noticeably lighter and smoother than full-size capsules, and the mint ice capsule adds a fresh finish without overpowering the tobacco. At A$149.50 it matches the budget Marlboro price, so the decision is about format: slim and light (Esse) versus regular size (Marlboro).

Honourable mention: Manchester UK Double Drive — A$162.50

Manchester United Kingdom Double Drive is the value double-capsule: two beads, full flavour, and a carton price of A$162.50 — about A$32.50 less than Marlboro Double Blast. It is a solid alternative if you want the double-capsule experience from a less mainstream brand.
