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

Korean Cigarette Brands: ESSE, Raison and BOHEM
Compare Korean cigarettes by brand family, complete variant name, printed strength and photographed pack. Start with ESSE, Raison, Africa, BOHEM or PEEL, then open the matching permanent product guide.
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 |

How to read the pack
Korean package terms that change the identification
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.

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.
