KT&G and British American Tobacco Korea have released new products on Monday.
KT&G said it has produced an apple-scented menthol cigarette named “Esse Sense Apple Mint,” which will be on sale starting Wednesday.
It consists of 1.0 mg of tar and 0.1mg of nicotine per pack. The price is 2,800 won ($2.43).
“Due to consumer demands for a different type of menthol cigarettes, we have come up with an apple-scented product that is high in menthol but low in tar,” a company official said.
Meanwhile, BAT Korea released “Dunhilll Fine Cut Slims” in which tobacco leaves are half the size of previous products, increasing the mildness of cigar.
The tobacco will be presented in two versions depending on the amount of tar concentration. The white version contains 1.0mg of tar whereas the wine version contains 5.0mg, according to the company report. The price is 2,700 won ($2.35).
