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.

Best cigarettes I’ve smoked so far. Filter appears longer externally than what it actually is. Great tobacco flavour with no taste of pesticides. More of a smooth honey flavour. I smoke these like enjoying the flavour of a fine wine. Exhale slowly through the mouth & nose. Pleasant smell left on fingers. Only trouble with these cigarettes is wanting to chain-smoke them. So, if you’re looking for the chemical hit of western cigarettes, these would be wasted.

These are the best of the best. The chinese know how to make good cigarettes and these are their premium line. Chunghwa for all intents and purposes is the national brand and the brand favored by leaders in the Communist party. There’s good reason for that beyond tradition. Before you even light up you get a very pleasant aroma of plum and spice. The smoking experience is sublime!

Pretty fresh, bold flavor. Hard to describe, it is like a mix of marlboro, camel, lucky and winstons at the same time hehe.
I will not buy again at that price, but I am extremely happy that I tried. Not the best but definitely a good quality cigarette.
A whole different story compared with other Chinese cigarettes.
Buy one, you’ll like it.
