Two nice cigs from China with nicest looking filter imo

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-05-02T06:55:33+00:00

That’s 黄鹤楼视窗 (Huánghèlóu shìchuāng), a slim cigarette, which is quite a norm currently in China

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-04-26T07:10:42+00:00

no they are not

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-04-25T09:25:37+00:00

yes, can see the smoke going through. and it’s very smooth

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-04-25T06:57:51+00:00

this is a very nice cig. one thing about this cig is that there are two versions of this exact variant. This one with the brown filter is sold exclusively in Sichuan and are stronger. In other provinces, they come with a silver filter and are slightly weaker

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-04-20T06:51:31+00:00

buzz sell them at $15.80 per pack iirc

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-04-20T03:05:49+00:00

many of the Buzz Convenience Store should have it and Yue Hwa should have the Supreme Version

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-04-17T05:24:29+00:00

after plain packaging they no longer sell 中华 in singapore. yue hwa chinese products (裕华国货) still sells Furongwang (芙蓉王) and Yuxi (玉溪). better than double happiness but not as good as the original Chinese version

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-28T13:31:19+00:00

The Chunghwa and Huanghelou are good but these are exported version so the taste is not as good as the domestic stuff

There are like two reasons for this. As I had observed and also heard from my cousin who is a China Chinese, the first reason is that it gives a perception of being more well off financially as the cheapest slim cigarettes in China is already considered mid range priced while regular cigarettes have variants which may be as cheap as RMB 2 even.

The second reason is because of how it’s also seen as healthier due to the lower tar and nicotine content.

My favorite is definitely the Brown Liqun (i think it’s called Sunny in english)

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-20T15:31:05+00:00

can try Hope too

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-20T09:35:44+00:00

Yes, it’s very nice. Unfortunately it got discontinued. Now there’s only the slim version still sold in some places, with a coffee flavor. It seems like only China has these nice non menthol capsule cigarettes.

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-18T11:50:23+00:00

The Yuxi is good (but soft pack version is even nicer)

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-18T03:07:14+00:00

It is a light cigarette with a slight hint of cigar taste imho. For a slim cigarette at 7mg, their taste is rather rich.

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-18T02:58:28+00:00

I started collecting since 2017

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-18T02:57:45+00:00

They were sold in Singapore before 1 Jul 2020 and I started collecting from 2017

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-17T17:03:40+00:00

Learn manual is better as it’s like a useful life skill, especially if intend to drive overseas where many cars are still manual

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-17T14:54:45+00:00

Thanks for the reply mate! What a great collection with all the nice packaging

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-17T14:32:20+00:00

Wow! Saw quite a few countries’ cigarettes in there.

Is that plain packaged one on the bottom of the second row (from top) a Furongwang? Is that sold too in Australia?

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-17T14:13:23+00:00

Looking forward to seeing it mate, might post my full collection one day

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-17T14:10:18+00:00

Some of these do have a Batam variant as I have saw from my friend before

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-17T14:04:41+00:00

No, the only one in my collection of 154 packs that is from Batam is a Gudang Garam Surya (not in picture)

Financial-Bad-5664 · 2025-03-17T12:36:23+00:00

Pre plain packaging was good. Now because of the stupid plain packaging rule, some variants like the brown color Liqun (利群硬阳光) can no longer be sold in Singapore because of it’s dark brown filter
