爱喜（银松）

ESSE is owned by KT&G (Korea Tobacco & Ginseng Corporation) introduced in 1996 in South Korea. It is now one of the most popular brands in South Korea. This pack, the golden leaf black, is quite light with 3mg of tar and 0.30mg of nicotine. It is a lighter colored Virginia style blend with a characteristically sweet taste. I feel after a draw the sweetness is very palpable at the back of the throat in a pleasant way. As far as slim cigarettes go, I was surprised by the taste and was expecting it to feel too airy and bland. The obvious highlight is how beautiful the pack design is with the silver and gold plated tree. I just wish the cigarettes themselves incorporated the black or a more intricate design on them. Despite it being super slim and a light cigarette, I cannot lie, it does what to do very well.
