Esse Black

Esse Black is a superslim 84mm cigarette from KT&G, built around a super-activated filter that delivers a fuller, more rounded taste in a shorter smoke. It launched alongside Esse Silver cigarettes as KT&G’s answer to smokers who wanted the superslim format without the softer, purely feminine positioning of the original Esse line. We stock Esse Black cigarettes, along with the rest of the Esse brand lineup, for smokers across Dubai and the wider UAE who want that same balance of style and strength in every pack.

What Makes Esse Black Cigarettes Different From the Main Esse Line

The original Esse range was built for women, with a lighter, gentler smoke. Esse Black cigarettes flip that script. They target modern, style-conscious smokers in their late twenties to mid-thirties, men and women alike, who want a superslim pack with more presence than milder options in our cigarettes category.

The super-activated filter is the core of that shift. It’s engineered to pull more flavor through a slim column, so Esse Black cigarettes feel fuller than a typical superslim without moving up to a king-size format.

Format and Design

Esse Black cigarettes keep the 84mm superslim body that made the Esse family famous. The pack is slim enough to carry easily, and the black-and-silver finish sets it apart from the softer pastel packs used on Esse Menthol cigarettes and the rest of the range.

Who Should Smoke Esse Black Cigarettes?

Esse Black cigarettes suit smokers who like the slim, compact format of a superslim but want more depth in the draw than a standard light cigarette gives. They work well as a step up from milder superslims like Esse Silver, without jumping all the way to a full-strength king-size pack. Smokers weighing that step up often compare Esse Black against other premium slims from Davidoff cigarettes before deciding.
