Raison·South Korea
Raison Black
Korea's answer to a full-flavour American blend, at about two-thirds the intensity.

Esse Super Slims에쎄
The super-slim that made the format serious, and the only 3mg here that still tastes of something.

Our notes
Esse is the reason super slims are a category rather than a novelty. At 3mg the smoke should be water, and it is not — there is a clean, faintly sweet Virginia note that holds all the way down the 100mm stick.
The narrow gauge burns fast, and you will smoke it in half the time you expect.
What works
- Real flavour at 3mg, which is rare
- Excellent paper — no run-off at all
- Elegant, genuinely well-designed pack
What does not
- Burns roughly twice as fast as a king size
- Too light for anyone coming off a full-flavour blend
