Low Nicotine Cigarettes in Australia: ESSE Light Options

Low Nicotine Cigarettes in Australia: ESSE Light Options

When Australian adults look for cigarrillos light or low-nicotine options, ESSE is a name that comes up early, because the whole range is built around a light, mild style rather than a full-strength body. The records that anchor that reputation in the current catalogue are Esse Lights Super Slim y ESSE Mentol (Verde Mecánico) Super Slim, both recorded at A$149.50 per carton (regular A$230.00) on the product pages. This article records what “light” means in practice, how the five ESSE lines fit that description, and what the current price records show. Prices change over time, so the product pages remain the reference.

What “light” means in Australian record terms

In Australia, the words light, mild and low are used carefully. Regulatory settings require brands to avoid implying any health benefit, so a light-style cigarette does not promise less risk — it describes a character: a milder tobacco blend, a slimmer body, and a draw that feels gentler than a full-flavour line. The strength figures are printed on the pack for adults to read. Choosing a light style is a taste decision, not a safety decision. Every cigarette carries the same serious health warnings, and “light” says nothing about how the body will respond.

Why ESSE is the brand adults name first

ESSE is the super-slim specialist, and the brand character is light by design: a narrow body, a smooth draw, and blends built for mildness rather than punch. Among the brands in the Soulssky catalogue, ESSE is the one most associated with the slim-and-light corner, while full-flavour classics sit elsewhere in the aisle. For adults who are exploring lighter styles for the first time, the ESSE lines are usually where that conversation starts. The records below are the reference points, and every figure can be confirmed on the individual product page.

The ESSE light range in the current catalogue

All five ESSE lines are light-style cigarettes, sold as 10-pack cartons, and they split into two price steps in the current records. The table below shows each line, its character, and both the current carton price and the regular price recorded on the product page.

Line	Style character	Carton price	Regular price
Esse Lights Super Slim	Plain, mild	A$149.50	A$230.00
ESSE Mentol (Verde Mecánico) Super Slim	Menthol capsule, cool finish	A$149.50	A$230.00
Esse Change Menta Ice Blast 4mg	Strong mint capsule	A$149.50	A$230.00
ESSE Cambio Vino Doble Menta Manzana	Fruit-mint double capsules	A$175.50	A$270.00
ESSE Change Doble Menta Naranja	Fruit-mint double capsules	A$175.50	A$270.00

The price shown is for the whole carton of ten packs. The two Double Applemint lines carry the higher step because they pair mint with a fruit capsule.

Reading the pack: strength, draw and capsule character

Esse Lights Super Slim is the plain reference: mild tobacco character, no capsule, and the cleanest way to read the brand. ESSE Menthol (Mechanical Green) Super Slim keeps the same light body and adds a cool menthol capsule. Esse Change Mint Ice Blast 4mg is the strongest mint in the range, still on the slim format. The two Double Applemint lines pair the mint capsule with a fruit capsule — wine and orange — for a sweeter finish. Same family, five directions, and the light draw stays constant across all of them, which is what makes the range easy to navigate.

How ESSE light cartons compare across the catalogue

At A$149.50, the three core ESSE cartons sit in the mid-range of the catalogue: above some entry cartons, below the A$175.50 Double Applemint pair and the higher editions from other brands. Adults comparing light styles across brands will find the closest references in the Mevius smoothness guide y el Marlboro strength guide, since both brands offer lighter editions alongside their full-flavour lines. The ESSE super slim range guide maps all five lines in a single read. Carton prices, not pack prices, are the figures to compare.

The honest picture

The honest picture is straightforward. ESSE is a light-style brand at a mid-range carton price, and its five lines cover plain, menthol, mint and fruit directions in one coherent family. For adults who value the slim format and the mild draw, the range is easy to navigate and the price steps are clean. For adults who want maximum strength, ESSE is not the aisle to browse. It is a taste choice, not a health choice, and the product pages record the current figures for anyone comparing.

Light Cigarette FAQ

Is ESSE a low-nicotine brand?

ESSE is a light-style brand: mild blends, a slim body and a light draw. Strength figures are printed on the pack. It is not a health product, and “light” does not mean risk-free.

How much do light ESSE cartons cost?

The current records: A$149.50 per carton (regular A$230.00) for Esse Lights, ESSE Menthol and Esse Change Mint Ice Blast, and A$175.50 per carton (regular A$270.00) for the two Double Applemint lines.

Is light the same as safe?

No. Every cigarette carries serious health risks. Light styles differ in taste, body and draw, not in risk.
