Direct answer

Which Korean cigarette brands appear in the catalog?

The current Korean catalog route includes ESSE, Africa, RAISON, selected Marlboro KR packages and PEEL KR pages. BOHEM also has Korean manufacturer context and separate photographed product guides on this site. The full variant name matters because a shared brand or similar color does not make two packages interchangeable.

At-a-glance comparison

Korean brand families and package clues

Brand or market group	Observed catalog format	Identification clue	Detailed route
ESSE	Super-slim, flavored and capsule-labelled pages	Keep both combination names, such as Applemint + Wine, attached to the printed value.	ESSE brand guide
Africa	5mg named and mixed variants	Banana, Ice Cream and Random Five are separate photographed records.	Africa guide
RAISON	Named slim package pages	Use the complete RAISON subtitle and printed value instead of the master brand alone.	RAISON French Yogo
Marlboro KR	KR Version capsule and named variants	KR Version or NEW KR Version separates the package from Japanese Marlboro pages.	Marlboro Korea guide
PEEL KR	KR-suffixed flavor pages	Keep KR attached to the name so it is not merged with a separate 9mg PEEL page.	PEEL brand guide
BOHEM	Cigar-leaf and named variant pages	Read the exact No.6 or Mojito wording and photographed format.	BOHEM No.6

Original catalog photos

Four package examples that should not be treated as one style

ESSE Double Applemint and Wine 4mg Korean-market package — **ESSE combination name**Both Applemint and Wine belong to the exact catalog title.

Africa Random Five 5mg Korean cigarette package — **Africa Random Five**The mixed-name package remains separate from Banana and Ice Cream.

RAISON French Yogo 1mg Korean cigarette package — **RAISON subtitle**French Yogo and 1mg together identify this page.

Marlboro Blossom KR Version 5mg package — **KR Version wording**The market-version label prevents confusion with a separate Japan-market record.

How to read the pack

Korean package terms that change the identification

Super slim

A package-format clue often associated with ESSE. It does not identify the flavor or printed value by itself.

Capsule or change wording

A filter feature can distinguish one product from a visually similar non-capsule page. Keep the full sub-name.

KR Version

Market-version wording used on this site to separate Korean packages from another country version of the same master brand.

Combination names

Applemint + Wine and Applemint + Orange are complete separate titles, not interchangeable descriptions.

Printed mg value

A package-identification value, not a personal exposure measurement and not a safety rating.

Live status

Availability changes independently of the guide. Confirm the current catalog card after identifying the exact product.

Manufacturer context

Official sources for ESSE, RAISON and BOHEM context

KT&G identifies ESSE, RAISON and BOHEM among its representative cigarette brands. Its official ESSE product pages also document super-slim formats. Those sources establish manufacturer and format context; the package names, photos and observed catalog groupings on this page come from this site's own records.

Korean cigarette brands FAQ

Which Korean cigarette brands are represented in this guide?

The guide covers ESSE, Africa, RAISON, Korean-market Marlboro variants, PEEL KR pages and BOHEM context. Each exact package remains a separate product record.

Is ESSE a Korean cigarette brand?

Yes. KT&G identifies ESSE as one of its representative cigarette brands. The catalog keeps each ESSE variant separate by complete name, photographed pack and printed value.

What does KR Version mean on a cigarette page?

KR Version is market-version wording used to distinguish a Korean-market package from another page that may share the same master brand or a similar variant name.

Are Korean cigarette brands ranked from best to worst here?

No. Taste is subjective and printed strength is not a safety score. This guide compares names, formats, package clues and exact catalog routes instead of publishing a health or quality ranking.

Where is current Korean cigarette availability shown?

Use the live Korean catalog for current price and availability. This guide supplies stable brand and package-identification context while inventory can change.
