Esse Blue

Esse Blue cigarettes are a superslim 84mm pack manufactured by KT&G, built around a smooth, mild tobacco taste with no added flavour or capsule. KT&G gave the pack its blue colourway in a 2008 redesign, part of a wider refresh across the cigarettes category you’ll find on our shelves today. We stock Esse Blue cigarettes in our Esse cigarettes category, alongside the rest of the Esse brand lineup, for smokers in Dubai who want a lighter, straightforward smoke.

What Makes Esse Blue Cigarettes Different

Esse Blue cigarettes skip the flavour capsule entirely. There’s no crush-and-release step here, just a smooth, mild pull from the first cigarette to the last one in the pack.

That makes Esse Blue cigarettes the natural next step for smokers who tried Esse Black cigarettes and found it a bit much. The superslim 84mm shape stays the same across the range, so nothing about the pack feels unfamiliar.

Format and Design

Esse Blue cigarettes keep the compact 84mm superslim size the whole Esse line is built around. It’s light enough to slip into a small bag or shirt pocket without a second thought.

The blue-toned pack sets it apart at a glance from the darker design used on Esse Menthol cigarettes. Pick it out of a drawer full of Esse packs, and you’ll know exactly which one it is.

Who Should Smoke Esse Blue Cigarettes?

Esse Blue cigarettes suit smokers who want a light, smooth superslim with no added flavour and no filter capsule to crush. They work well for anyone stepping down from a stronger king-size pack, or comparing lighter superslims against brands like Marlboro cigarettes before settling on an everyday choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Esse Blue cigarettes?

Esse Blue cigarettes are a superslim 84mm pack made by KT&G, offering a smooth, mild tobacco taste with no added flavour or capsule. They sit among the earliest lines in the Esse family, and KT&G redesigned the pack in blue back in 2008 to sharpen the range’s visual identity.

Do Esse Blue cigarettes have a flavour capsule?

No, Esse Blue cigarettes do not contain a flavour capsule. They deliver a traditional, unflavoured tobacco taste from the first draw to the last, unlike newer Esse lines such as Esse Change or Esse Bubble Purple, which rely on a crush-activated capsule buried inside the filter for extra flavour.

How strong are Esse Blue cigarettes compared to Esse Black?

Esse Blue cigarettes are lighter than Esse Black cigarettes, which use a super-activated filter built for a fuller, bolder pull. Esse Blue keeps closer to the original, gentler Esse profile, which makes it the better pick for smokers who want a milder superslim without giving up the slim 84mm format.

Who manufactures Esse Blue cigarettes?

Esse Blue cigarettes are manufactured by KT&G, short for Korea Tobacco and Ginseng Corporation, the South Korean company behind the entire Esse superslim range. KT&G launched Esse back in 1996 and has since grown it into one of the world’s best-selling superslim cigarette brands worldwide.

Can I buy Esse Blue cigarettes online in Dubai?

Yes, Esse Blue cigarettes are available to order online through our Dubai store, with delivery across the UAE. We stock the full Esse range alongside Esse Blue, so you can compare flavours and strengths side by side and order the exact pack that matches what you’re used to smoking.
