Menthol and Capsule Cigarettes Australia: Terms Explained
Quick answer: Menthol generally identifies a menthol-related product description, while capsule or crush wording usually signals a named format involving an activatable feature. The exact meaning can vary by brand and market, so the complete title and current pack image are the reliable identifiers.
Why the terms should not be separated from the brand
A word such as Crush may occur in more than one brand family without identifying the same product. Keep it attached to the brand, colour, number and edition shown in the title. CigHot groups current records in the Menthol collection while retaining their individual product pages.
Menthol, capsule, crush and blast
Menthol is a flavour-related catalogue term. Capsule and crush commonly appear in names for products with a named activation format. Blast is also used as part of particular variant names. None of these words alone proves that two listings share the same construction or market edition.
Superslim is a format term
Superslim usually identifies a narrower physical format rather than a flavour. An ESSE superslim product may also carry menthol wording, but the two terms describe different parts of its catalogue identity.
How to verify a menthol-related listing
Read the complete name, inspect the pack image, confirm the market wording and review the live selector. Never infer safety from a colour, number or descriptors such as light or smooth.
