What \u201clow tar\u201d actually means<\/h2>\n

\u201cLow tar\u201d describes a cigarette\u2019s tar figure and its lighter, smoother character \u2014 it is not a health claim. In Australia, tar and nicotine figures are printed on the pack for adults to read, and words like light, mild and low describe preference only. A low-tar cigarette does not mean lower harm: every cigarette is harmful and addictive, and no style is safer than another. The notes below help adult smokers who are already comparing products choose a style that suits their taste \u2014 not a \u201csafer\u201d cigarette.<\/p>\n

How we picked these low-tar lines<\/h2>\n

We compared the low-tar and light-style lines actually in stock at Soulssky, using the tar figures printed on the product names (4mg, 6mg, 8mg), the live Australian-dollar carton price on each product page, and the character of the blend. We left out out-of-stock lines and full-strength products such as Benson & Hedges Special Filter 10mg, which sits at the fuller end of the range.<\/p>\n

1. Best overall: Dunhill Blue 6mg \u2014 A$162.50<\/h2>\n

\"Dunhill<\/p>\n

Dunhill Blue 6mg is the pick most adult smokers mean when they ask for a low-tar premium. It carries a 6mg tar figure on the pack, with a smooth, refined draw and a clean tobacco character that stays even from the first puff to the last. At A$162.50 per carton it sits mid-range in the premium aisle, and it is the easiest light Dunhill to recommend because it keeps the premium finish without the fuller body of Dunhill Red 6mg<\/a> (A$175.50). See the current listing: Dunhill Blue 6mg at Soulssky<\/a>. For the full Dunhill line-up, browse the Dunhill category page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Lowest tar figure: ESSE Change Mint Ice Blast 4mg \u2014 A$149.50<\/h2>\n

\"Esse<\/p>\n

If you want the lowest tar figure shown in the current catalogue product names, ESSE Change Mint Ice Blast 4mg is it \u2014 a 4mg super-slim with a crush capsule that releases a cold mint burst. Uncrushed, it is a light, smooth super-slim; crush the capsule and the mint turns noticeably cooler. At A$149.50 per carton it is also one of the cheapest lines on this list. See the listing: ESSE Change Mint Ice Blast 4mg at Soulssky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Best super-slim classic: Esse Lights Super Slim \u2014 A$149.50<\/h2>\n

\"Esse<\/p>\n

ESSE is the super-slim specialist, and Esse Lights Super Slim is the mildest, cleanest expression of that style \u2014 a narrow super-slim with a light, smooth draw and no capsule to manage. If you want a discreet, low-key light cigarette in the classic ESSE format, this is the one. It is A$149.50 per carton, the same price step as the menthol and capsule ESSE lines. See the listing: Esse Lights Super Slim at Soulssky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Best value: Marlboro Platinum Swiss Edition \u2014 A$130.00<\/h2>\n

Marlboro Platinum Swiss Edition is the cheapest light-style line in the current catalogue at A$130.00 per carton, and it is the smoothest Marlboro in the line-up \u2014 a light, silky Swiss-blend interpretation of the brand. It suits smokers who want the Marlboro name with a lighter character and a lower price than Marlboro Red (A$149.50). See the listing: Marlboro Platinum Swiss Edition at Soulssky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. Smoothest Japanese-style light: Mevius Lights 8mg \u2014 A$188.50<\/h2>\n

Mevius Lights 8mg is the Japanese-style light at the premium end of the shelf: an 8mg tar figure with Mevius\u2019s signature smoothness and a clean, mild draw. It is the most expensive line on this list at A$188.50 per carton, so it is a choice for smokers who already know they like the Mevius character and want the lightest expression of it. See the listing: Mevius Lights 8mg at Soulssky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also worth knowing: Davidoff Gold \u2014 A$162.50<\/h2>\n

If your priority is a premium light with a refined European character, Davidoff Gold<\/a> (A$162.50 per carton) is the quiet alternative \u2014 a light, smooth blend without the harshness of a full-strength line. It is a good second option if the Dunhill or Mevius character is not quite what you want.<\/p>\n
