Esse 20s Change Double Apple Mint - Wine – 100mm Dual-Capsule Super Slim (Carton of 200s)
Esse 20s Change Double Apple Mint - Wine represents the pinnacle of KT&G’s micro-encapsulation technology. Built on a slender 100mm super-slim platform (~5.5mm diameter) with light, flue-cured Korean Virginia tobacco, this edition integrates two independent flavor crush beads inside a single filter: one delivering crisp green apple with refreshing garden mint, and the other releasing rich, aromatic wine-grape undertones.
This dual-capsule architecture offers complete control over each session—allowing you to smoke it unclicked, activate either flavor individually, or crush both for a multi-layered fruit and cooling finish. Supplied in a factory-sealed master carton containing 10 packs of 20s (200 super-slim sticks in total), this format protects the delicate micro-capsules from physical crushing and environmental heat during transit across Australia.

Key Advantages & Technical Differentiators
-
4-Way Customizable Flavor States: Enjoy total flexibility in every stick:
-
Unclicked: Pure, mild Korean Virginia-Oriental tobacco.
-
Apple-Mint Only: Tangy orchard green apple backed by crisp spearmint freshness.
-
Wine Only: Deep, velvety red grape aroma with subtle dessert sweetness.
-
Double Click: A fusion of crisp apple, rich wine notes, and balanced cooling.
-
-
High-Precision Micro-Capsule Engineering: Housing two distinct beads in a narrow 5.5mm filter requires micro-scale manufacturing that keeps the filter channel completely open for an unobstructed draw.
-
Aromatic Odor-Masking Technology: The botanical fruit and wine essences significantly mask side-stream smoke odor, leaving a pleasant ambient room note that clears quickly from clothing and breath.
-
Hermetically Sealed Carton Freshness: Outer cellophane wrapping and rigid hard-pack shells prevent premature capsule drying or accidental popping in pockets.

Smoking Dynamics & Ash Performance
Unrestricted Draw Resistance
Despite containing two separate beads, the high-density micro-acetate filter is grooved to allow smooth airflow whether both capsules are intact or fully crushed.
Slow, Linear 100mm Burn
The extended 100mm slender rod burns in a steady, even line. The smoke travels a longer path along the rod, cooling the temperature so the fruity wine terpenes do not overheat or turn bitter toward the filter.
Structured, Pale Ash Column
Micro-sifted tobacco strands ensure that the ash column remains solid and compact, preventing messy flaking during outdoor smoking.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I identify and click the two different capsules?
The filter tipping paper features distinct tactile markers corresponding to each capsule's position. Squeeze the forward marker to release the Crisp Apple-Mint bead, and pinch the rear marker closest to the lips to activate the Sweet Wine-Grape bead.
Can I smoke Esse Change Double without crushing any capsules?
Yes. If left unclicked, the cigarette delivers a smooth, unflavoured light Virginia smoke with no added fruit, wine, or cooling taste.
What does the "Wine" capsule taste like?
The wine capsule delivers a mellow, aromatic red grape essence with subtle fermented sweetness, resembling dessert wine or dark berry aromatics rather than sharp alcohol.
Does having two capsules in a 5.5mm slim filter make it harder to draw?
No. KT&G uses micro-sized gelatin shells specifically calibrated for slim stick diameters, ensuring the draw remains smooth and airy without requiring extra suction.
