ESSE Special Gold Premium Cigarettes in Dubai UAE

ESSE Special Gold Premium: Super Slim Cigarettes in Dubai & the UAE

Put an Esse pack next to a regular king-size box and the difference is obvious. It’s taller, narrower, and finished in cream and gold. ESSE Special Gold Premium is made by KT&G in South Korea, and it’s a popular pick among UAE smokers who want a slim cigarette with a soft, lightly sweet tobacco taste instead of a heavy, peppery hit.

This is a classic tobacco cigarette. It has no menthol, no capsule, and no flavour additive to mask the blend. It’s meant for people who like a mild, even, easy-going smoke, and it’s less suited to anyone who wants a strong, full-bodied one.

Product Specifications

What to Expect When You Smoke It

The first few draws are gentle. You’ll taste real tobacco, but without the sharp front-end bite that heavier brands have. The thin body burns slowly and evenly, and the acetate filter keeps the draw steady rather than tightening up near the end.

If you’re moving over from a king-size cigarette, give it a pack or two. A slim stick sits differently between the fingers, and a lighter pull works better than the hard drag you’re used to. Pull too hard and it burns hotter than the blend intends, which is the usual reason people call a first slim “harsh”.

Because of the narrow diameter, you’ll also notice less smoke lingering on clothes and in cars or offices. That’s a small but real advantage in a city where most of your day is spent indoors with the AC running.

Is It the Right Cigarette for You?

It’s a good match if you:

• prefer a light, mellow profile with real tobacco taste
• want a slim, refined-looking pack
• dislike menthol or flavoured cigarettes
• value pack-to-pack consistency over variety

Look elsewhere if you:

• want a strong, full-bodied hit (try ESSE Black)
• are after a capsule cigarette (try ESSE Change)
• buy purely on price

Price in the UAE

At Vapelom, a pack of Special Gold costs AED 85. That’s mid-range for the UAE, above budget brands and well below the premium European slims. Tobacco is taxed heavily here, so there’s very little room for genuine discounting. If you spot a pack priced far below the market, be cautious. It’s usually counterfeit or grey-market stock.

Keeping Your Pack Fresh in the Gulf Heat

Dry tobacco burns fast and tastes harsh, and UAE summers are tough on cigarettes. A few habits make a big difference:

• Keep packs indoors, in a cool drawer or cupboard.
• Never leave them in a parked car or on a dashboard.
• Skip the fridge, as moisture does more damage than it prevents.
• Fold the foil back over after opening.
• Buy what you’ll finish in a few weeks rather than stockpiling.

How to Spot a Genuine Pack

Before you light up, check these:

• Cellophane: tight, even, and cleanly sealed
• Printing: sharp text and accurate colours, with no blurring or misalignment
• UAE health warnings and tax marking: present and properly placed
• Batch code: clearly printed and legible
• Sticks: identical in length, firmness, and filter colour

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the price of Esse Special Gold in Dubai?
A pack of 20 costs AED 85 at Vapelom. Prices can shift with stock and promotions, so the figure on the product page is always the current one.

2. Is Esse Gold the same as Esse Special Gold?
In the UAE, both names are commonly used for the same cream-and-gold 100mm slim pack. The wording varies by regional packaging, so check the tar and nicotine figures (3.5 mg and 0.4 mg) on the pack to confirm.

3. How strong is Esse Special Gold?
It’s a light cigarette at 3.5 mg tar and 0.4 mg nicotine. The taste is smooth and mildly sweet, which suits people who find king-size brands too harsh. Smokers who want a stronger hit usually go for Esse Black instead.

4. Is Esse Special Gold a menthol cigarette?
No. It’s a regular tobacco cigarette with no menthol and no flavour capsule. If you want a cooling finish, look at Esse Menthol or the capsule-style Esse Change.

5. How fast can I get Esse Special Gold delivered in Dubai?
Orders to Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman arrive within 1-2 hours. Delivery is free once your order passes AED 400.

6. How can I tell if my Esse pack is original?
Check for tight cellophane, crisp printing, UAE health warnings, a legible batch code, and a tax marking. A price far below the usual market rate is the biggest warning sign, so buy from a seller you trust.

Important Notice: This product is for adult smokers aged 18 and over. It contains nicotine, which is addictive, and smoking carries serious health risks. Lower tar and nicotine figures do not make a cigarette safe. Please follow UAE regulations on the purchase and use of tobacco products, and keep it away from children and pets.
