The variant stocked at Cigarette Nearby is the Mac Super Slim Ice Cool Blast, and it doesn't try to be subtle about what it offers.
Currently one variant in stock. Each carton contains 10 packs of 20 cigarettes. Click through for detailed pricing and to place an order.

Mac Super Slim Ice Cool Blast – An ultra-slim cigarette built around a pronounced menthol chill. The super-slim format — noticeably narrower than standard slims — concentrates the draw and changes the mouth feel. The menthol is upfront and cooling from the first inhale, not something that builds gradually. This is a cigarette for smokers who actively want the menthol to be the star, not a supporting character. The tobacco base is light enough to let the cooling come through clearly, making this more about the overall sensation than the tobacco depth.

Who Mac Super Slim Ice Cool Blast Suits Best
Ultra-slim menthol is a specific category, and Mac sits at the cooler end of it. Here's who tends to gravitate toward this cigarette — and who might want to look elsewhere.
If you currently smoke Esse Menthol Super Slim: Mac is a step up in menthol intensity. Esse keeps the cooling balanced and refined, letting the Korean tobacco character share the spotlight. Mac pushes the menthol forward more aggressively. If you like Esse Menthol but wish the cooling hit harder, Mac is the logical next step. If you like Esse specifically because the menthol is restrained, Mac might feel like too much.
If you currently smoke Oscar Ice Cold Super Slim: These two are the closest direct competitors — both ultra-slim, both menthol-forward, both priced in a similar budget-friendly range. The difference is subtle: Oscar leans slightly more toward a crisp, refreshing menthol, while Mac goes for a deeper chill. Smokers often alternate between the two based on which is in stock or on promotion. If you like one, you'll probably like the other.
If you currently smoke Marlboro Ice Blast: The format difference matters here. Marlboro Ice Blast is a king-size capsule cigarette — crush the capsule, get the menthol hit. Mac is ultra-slim with integrated menthol, no capsule. The hand feel is completely different. The menthol delivery is also different — Mac's cooling is constant throughout the smoke, while Ice Blast activates only after crushing. Some smokers prefer the control of a capsule; others prefer the consistency of integrated menthol.
If you're new to ultra-slim cigarettes: The format takes a few cigarettes to adjust to. The narrower diameter means a tighter draw and a slightly quicker burn. The menthol hits differently in a slim — more concentrated, slightly sharper. If you've only smoked king-size and are curious about ultra-slims, Mac is a full-commitment introduction rather than a gentle one. For a milder slim menthol entry, Esse Menthol Super Slim might be a softer starting point.
The typical Mac buyer at Cigarette Nearby tends to be someone who's already decided they prefer the ultra-slim format and wants reliable menthol intensity. They're often former Esse or Oscar smokers who found those options slightly too mild, or former capsule smokers who got tired of the inconsistency and wanted steady cooling from start to finish.
How to Store Cartons Properly
This section isn't glamorous, but it's practical — especially for bulk buyers ordering multiple cartons of slim cigarettes.
Slim and ultra-slim cigarettes have a slightly higher surface-to-volume ratio than king-size cigarettes, which means they can dry out marginally faster if stored poorly. A sealed carton from Cigarette Nearby arrives in factory packaging that keeps the product fresh, but once you open a carton, how you store the remaining packs affects the smoking experience.
Keep unopened packs in the sealed carton. The factory wrapping is designed to maintain humidity. Don't open all your packs at once — take one out as needed and leave the rest sealed.
Store in a cool, dry place — not the fridge. Some smokers make the mistake of refrigerating cigarettes, thinking it keeps them fresh. It actually introduces moisture that can affect the burn and draw. A cupboard or drawer away from direct sunlight and heat sources is ideal.
Avoid bathrooms and kitchens. Humidity swings in these rooms — from showers, kettles, cooking — can affect tobacco consistency over time. A bedroom drawer or hallway cupboard is better.
If you order two or three cartons at a time, which many Mac buyers do to hit the free shipping threshold, simply store the spare cartons unopened in a consistent environment. They'll stay fresh for months when sealed.
This matters because the ultra-slim format is more sensitive to tobacco condition than king-size cigarettes. A dry slim cigarette burns faster, draws harsher, and the menthol can lose its balance. Proper storage preserves the experience you paid for.
Regional Availability – Where Mac Shows Up (and Mostly Doesn't)
Let's be realistic about where you can find Mac Super Slim Ice Cool Blast in Australian stores, because searching without a plan wastes time and fuel.
Sydney: A few specialty tobacconists in the CBD and inner suburbs — particularly around Chinatown, Haymarket, and parts of Burwood — sometimes carry ultra-slim imports. Mac appears occasionally but not consistently. Korean and Asian-focused tobacconists are your best bet.
Melbourne: The CBD, Box Hill, and Glen Waverley have specialty shops that import Asian-market slim cigarettes. Mac might show up in those stores, but stock rotates unpredictably. Some months it's there, other months it's not.
Brisbane: Sunnybank and the CBD have a handful of import-focused tobacconists. Mac availability is patchy at best.
Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin: Ultra-slim imports beyond the most common Esse variants are rare. Mac is extremely unlikely to be stocked in any consistent way.
Regional and rural Australia: From Cairns to Geelong, from Newcastle to Bunbury, from Toowoomba to Launceston — finding Mac Super Slim Ice Cool Blast in a local shop is effectively impossible. The distribution simply doesn't extend beyond a few specialty shops in capital cities, and even those can't guarantee stock.
This is why most Mac smokers end up at Cigarette Nearby. When you buy Mac cigarettes online, you're not paying a premium for scarcity — you're paying a consistent price for guaranteed access. Ordering affordable Mac cartons with fast Australia-wide dispatch turns an unpredictable shopping trip into a reliable routine.
Making Bulk Orders Work
Ultra-slim cigarettes often come in slightly smaller carton dimensions than king-size, but the economics of bulk buying still apply.
A single carton (200 cigarettes) from Cigarette Nearby gives you a per-pack rate that's competitive with — and usually better than — the specialty shop price in a capital city, assuming you can find one that stocks Mac. Two cartons (400 cigarettes) drops the effective cost further, and for a regular smoker going through a pack a day, that's roughly three weeks of supply.
📦 During selling seasons and promotional periods, free shipping applies on orders over $300. With Mac's affordable positioning, you may need three cartons to reach the threshold — but the combined saving from volume pricing and zero freight makes bulk ordering the most economical approach. Outside of promotions, grouping cartons into one shipment still beats paying separate freight on multiple orders.
You can mix Mac with other slim or menthol brands — Esse, Oscar, Kent — or pair it with anything from the wider cigarettes collection. The $300 free shipping threshold applies to the total order regardless of brand mix.
"I switched to Mac from Oscar about six months ago. The menthol is stronger, which I prefer, and the super slim format is exactly what I like. Can't find it in Perth shops at all so I order two or three cartons at a time from Cigarette Nearby." — K., Perth
"Ultra-slims aren't for everyone but once you get used to them, king-size feels clunky. Mac Ice Cool Blast is my daily smoke and ordering online saves me the headache of chasing stock." — T., Adelaide
Mac Cigarettes – Ultra Slim Intensity, Nationwide Delivery
Mac Super Slim Ice Cool Blast knows exactly what it is — an ultra-slim menthol cigarette that prioritises cooling over subtlety, in a format that sets it apart from standard king-size options. It's not designed to appeal to everyone, and that's fine. For the smokers who've already decided they prefer super-slims with a proper menthol presence, it delivers consistently.
The reality of Australian retail is that Mac is almost impossible to find outside a handful of specialty shops in Sydney and Melbourne. Cigarette Nearby exists precisely because of gaps like this — providing reliable access to brands that local retailers overlook, with pricing that makes bulk ordering practical.
All cartons ship with fast Australia-wide dispatch, and bulk orders during promotional periods unlock free shipping. Browse the Mac collection or click the product above to check current pricing.
FAQ
🔍 How many packs in a Mac carton?
All Mac cartons listed contain 10 packs of 20 cigarettes — 200 cigarettes total per carton.
🔍 What's the difference between super-slim and regular slim?
Super-slim (or ultra-slim) has a narrower diameter than standard slim cigarettes. The draw is tighter and more concentrated, and the cigarette feels noticeably thinner in the hand. Mac falls into the super-slim category.
🔍 Does Mac Ice Cool Blast have a menthol capsule?
No. The menthol is integrated into the tobacco blend rather than delivered via a crushable capsule. This means the cooling is consistent from the first draw to the last.
🔍 How does Mac compare to Esse Menthol Super Slim?
Both are menthol slims, but Mac is stronger on the menthol and uses an ultra-slim format. Esse is more balanced between menthol and tobacco, with a slightly wider super-slim build. If Esse feels too mild, Mac is worth trying.
🔍 Is Mac available in Australian shops?
Very rarely. A few specialty tobacconists in Sydney and Melbourne may carry it occasionally, but there's no reliable retail distribution. Ordering online through Cigarette Nearby is the most dependable way to access it.
🔍 Is free shipping available on Mac orders?
During selling seasons and promotional periods, free shipping applies on orders over $300. Mac's value pricing may mean three cartons to reach the threshold. Outside active promotions, bulk ordering still offers better overall value than separate single-carton shipments.
🔍 How should I store unopened Mac cartons?
Keep them sealed in the original packaging in a cool, dry place — a cupboard or drawer away from sunlight, heat, and humidity. Avoid bathrooms, kitchens, and refrigerators. Sealed cartons stay fresh for months when stored properly.
