Description
Chunghwa 中华 – Filter Cigarettes.
Produced by Shanghai Cigarette Factory. A Shanghai Tobacco Group Co Ltd.
Chunghwa (simplified Chinese: 中华; traditional Chinese: 中華; pinyin: Zhōnghua) is a premium brand of Chinese cigarettes produced by the Shanghai Tobacco Group, a subsidiary of China Tobacco. Due to its popularity in the Chinese market, it is considered the most representative brand of Chinese cigarettes and is known as the “national smoke”. The cigarette package design is a bright red color with the Tiananmen and its Huabiao pillars in gold on the front. “Chunghwa”, or Zhonghua (中华/中華), is one of the common names for China. As a result, advertisements usually use the name as a pun, though this practice has been controversial. For example, the slogan “Love Our Chunghwa” could also translate as “Love Our China” and could therefore be used as advertisement.
Iconic Packaging and Design
The packaging of Chunghwa cigarettes is instantly recognizable, featuring:
- A bright red background symbolizing good fortune and prosperity in Chinese culture.
- The iconic Tiananmen Square and its Huabiao pillars, embossed in gold, exuding a sense of national pride and elegance.
- The brand name “Chunghwa” (中华/中華), which is also a common name for China, adding cultural depth to its branding.
Cultural Significance and Symbolism
Chunghwa cigarettes have a unique place in Chinese society. Often considered a status symbol, these cigarettes are frequently used as prestigious gifts for important occasions. The association with Chairman Mao Zedong, who reportedly preferred this brand, has further cemented its reputation as an elite product. The distinctive plum aroma adds to its luxurious appeal.

The number one selling cigarette in China. Alright taste, maybe a little weak. The paper of the cigarette seems low quality as it ashes quite a lot. I would not recommend smoking this in your car unless you like to wipe ash/dust every other day

Overall really good and unexpectedly quick, only complaint is the package was not as advertised. The one I got had the lung cancer man on it (which I understand countries outside of the U.S. do) but I was expecting the same as the one on the website. Very minor complaint though!

Solid virginia tobacco. Much cleaner flavor and smoother than an American cigarette.
