Cigarette/cigar hybrid launched in Korea

KT&G has launched a cigarette/cigar hybrid called Bohem Cigar Mini, according to a story in The Korea Herald.

Twenty per cent of the new product’s tobacco is said to be sourced from Cuba and unspecified countries of South America.

Bohem Cigar Mini has a filter and is in a king-sized, ultra-slim format.

Judging from pictures posted on the Internet, the new product is available in 1 mg and 5 mg versions.

The 1 mg version has a white filter and is sold in a white, round-cornered, hinged-lid pack, while the 5 mg version has cork-style tipping and comes in a brown, round-cornered, hinged-lid pack.
