What Are Menthol Cigarettes?
Menthol cigarettes are cigarettes associated with a mint-like cooling effect. You may also see them described as mentholated cigarettes, cigarette with menthol, mint cigarettes, cool cigarettes, ice cigarettes, crush cigarettes or capsule cigarettes, depending on the brand and market.
That wording can be confusing in Australia now because the rules around menthol and related product features have changed. A name that appears on an old supermarket page, an overseas listing or a saved product image does not always mean the same item is available for sale today.
For an Australian 18+ buyer, the useful question is not only “what cigarettes are menthol?” It is also which current product is being shown, what format it comes in, how much the carton costs and whether the listing gives enough delivery and packaging information before you order.
On Local Tobacconist AU, the current menthol category is simple: Esse Menthol and Mevius Menthol Option Purple are the two menthol-related listings shown in 10 Packets x 20’s carton format.
Current Menthol Cigarettes Brands in Local Tobacconist AU
The current Local Tobacconist AU menthol range gives you two different brand choices rather than a long mix of old mint, cool, ice and capsule names. Both listings use the same carton format, which makes the price comparison more useful.
| Current listing | Brand cue | Format | Current price | 20-pack equivalent before delivery | Best fit |
| Esse Menthol | Esse slim-format brand family | 10 Packets x 20’s | $136 | $13.60 | Lower current menthol carton price |
| Mevius Menthol Option Purple | Mevius / Option Purple naming | 10 Packets x 20’s | $155 | $15.50 | Buyers who specifically want Mevius |
| Alpine Fine Menthol 25’s x 4 at Coles | Supermarket menthol reference | 1 carton | Currently unavailable on the crawled Coles page | Not available from that listing | Useful only as a pack-format comparison |
Esse Menthol
Esse Menthol is the lower-priced menthol listing currently shown in this category. It belongs to the Esse brand family, which many buyers associate with slim-format cigarette products and Korean-brand references. If you already recognise Esse or want the lower current carton price, start with the Esse Menthol product page.
The current listing is $136 in 10 Packets x 20’s format. That makes it easier to compare with Mevius because both are shown as 200-cigarette cartons. Menthol wording should still be read as a product descriptor, not a reduced-risk claim.
Mevius Menthol Option Purple
Mevius Menthol Option Purple is the higher-priced menthol-related listing currently shown here. It is the better starting point if you came looking for Mevius specifically, or if the Mevius name matters more to you than choosing the lowest current price in the category.
The current listing is $155 in 10 Packets x 20’s format. The “Option Purple” wording is part of the product title, so keep it attached when comparing against other Mevius pages or saved product names.
Which One Should You Open First?
If price is your first filter, Esse Menthol is currently cheaper. If brand recognition is the deciding factor, start with the brand you already meant to buy. The two listings are close enough to sit in the same menthol cigarette category, but they are not interchangeable.
| Current listing | Current price | Best starting point when | What to watch |
| Esse Menthol | $136 | You want the lower current menthol carton price or already recognise Esse | Read it as an Esse product, not a generic mint cigarette listing |
| Mevius Menthol Option Purple | $155 | You specifically came looking for Mevius or Option Purple | Keep the full product name together when comparing with other Mevius listings |
If you are comparing against old mint, cool, ice or capsule listings elsewhere, match the exact title first. Similar wording does not automatically point to either Esse Menthol or Mevius Menthol Option Purple.
For this category, the practical choices are Esse Menthol and Mevius Menthol Option Purple. Other brand names such as Alpine, 305, Capri, Doral, Maverick, Mayfair, Richmond, Seneca or True may appear in older or overseas menthol searches, but they are not ordering options here unless they appear on the live Local Tobacconist AU product grid.
None of these words should be treated as a safety claim. Menthol, mint, cool, smooth, light and low-tar language does not make a cigarette safe.
Menthol, Mint, Ice, Cool and Capsule Types
Menthol language is wider than one product name. Some terms point to a cooling flavour, some point to filter features, and some come from older packaging or overseas markets. These details matter because Australian tobacco rules now restrict certain ingredients and product features.
| Types | What it usually suggests | What to do before buying |
| Menthol cigarettes | A cigarette marketed with menthol or cooling-related wording | Check whether the exact product is currently listed |
| Mentholated cigarettes | Another way of saying cigarettes with menthol-style wording | Treat it as a broad category term |
| Mint cigarettes | Informal wording buyers use for menthol-style products | Do not assume it is the official product title |
| Cool or ice cigarettes | Often used for cooling-positioned products | Match the exact brand and variant |
| Crush or capsule cigarettes | Usually suggests a filter feature that changes the flavour experience | Do not assume availability under Australian rules |
| Option Purple | Part of the Mevius product title shown here | Keep the full title when comparing |
Menthol Cigarettes Price: Cheap, Carton and Pack Comparisons
Price is one of the easiest places to make a mistake with menthol cigarettes. A single 20 or 25 pack can look cheaper than a carton until you compare the number of cigarettes included. A carton can look expensive until you divide it into the same pack equivalent.
Local Tobacconist AU currently shows:
- Esse Menthol: $136 per 10 Packets x 20’s carton, or $13.60 per 20-pack equivalent before delivery.
- Mevius Menthol Option Purple: $155 per 10 Packets x 20’s carton, or $15.50 per 20-pack equivalent before delivery.
Those two numbers give you a clean comparison because both listings contain 200 cigarettes. If you are comparing with Coles, Woolworths, Smokemart or another Australian tobacco retailer, match the same quantity first. A 25’s pack, a 25’s x 4 carton, a 20-pack and a 10 x 20 carton are not the same comparison.
If you are looking for cheap menthol cigarettes, use “cheap” carefully. A low price is only useful when the product title, carton quantity, current stock, delivery cost and packaging information are clear. If those details are missing, the cheaper-looking listing may not actually be the better buy.
Why Are Menthol Cigarettes Banned in Australia?
Australia has changed the rules around menthol cigarettes and menthol accessories. The Australian Government says menthol cigarettes and menthol accessories, including crush balls, will no longer be sold in Australia from 1 July 2025. The stated reason is that menthol can mask the harshness of tobacco smoke, make smoking feel smoother, and make it harder for people to quit.
The University of Sydney explains the same reform in plainer language: Australia’s new tobacco laws target ingredients that make tobacco taste better or easier to smoke, including menthol, and retailers had a grace period to sell old stock by 1 July 2025.
For this collection, that means you should read menthol-related product names carefully. A live product listing is the place to confirm the current item, stock status, price, format and order details. An old red, green, mint, ice, cool or capsule image online is not enough to judge current Australian availability.
All tobacco products carry serious health risks. No menthol, mint or cooling-style wording should be read as a lower-risk claim.
Where to Buy Menthol Cigarettes Online in Australia
If you are searching where to buy menthol cigarettes, the useful answer depends on current availability and the exact product you want. Supermarket pages can appear in results, but they may show single packs, localised pricing, hidden age-restricted products or unavailable older listings.
Local Tobacconist AU gives you a dedicated menthol category with the two current listings in one place:
- Esse Menthol for the lower current carton price.
- Mevius Menthol Option Purple for buyers who specifically want the Mevius menthol-related listing.
You can also compare the wider brand pages for Esse Cigarettes and Mevius Cigarettes if you want to see the broader range before choosing. For delivery, packaging and order questions, open the FAQ or contact the store through Contact Us before checkout.
