Chapter 20 Trial of Jinlong brand cigarettes for the first time

The Changshou brand cigarettes produced by the Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Bureau are not as delicate and exquisite as Japanese cigarettes in terms of packaging and printing in Southeast Asian countries. When it comes to the fragrance of cigarettes, it can be said to be the leader.If you go to Southeast Asian countries, especially Japan, for business or tourism, giving a friend a pair of Changshou brand cigarettes will make the other party cherish and be more happy than any other gift.Since Changshou brand cigarettes were produced by the Tobacco and Alcohol Sales Bureau, it is a pity that no new brand has come out for more than ten years.

Recently, the public sales bureau has released a super high-end "Golden Dragon" cigarette. After one puff, not only does the smoke taste clear and soft, it is comparable to the British "three-five" cigarettes. Cutting off the fire is not empty; according to this quality, if we can persevere and never change, it will not only flourish and increase the government's treasury revenue, but also deal the most serious and fatal blow to smuggled imported foreign cigarettes. The length of the sticks of the new product this time, the public sales office has really followed suit and has made great progress.When Changshou cigarettes first came out, people who were used to smoking British and American cigarettes felt that Changshou cigarettes tasted good. Some people wanted to change to Changshou cigarettes, but they always felt that the length of the cigarette sticks was not enough.Because the filter tip is short, the cigarette will have a sub-smell of vape oil in the second half of the smoke.In fact, from an economic point of view, the cost of tobacco leaves is much more expensive than that of filters, probably due to the limitation of cigarette rolling machines. For more than ten years, people have repeatedly suggested to the Public Sales Bureau to lengthen the sticks of longevity cigarettes, but It was never adopted.This time, the sticks of the new product Golden Dragon cigarettes are resolutely lengthened, which can be compared with British and American cigarette sticks. From the point of view of addicts, it is really a sign of progress.

This time, the pattern design of the Golden Dragon brand carton is completely modeled on the "Black Cat", and the "Black Cat" is changed to the "Golden Dragon". It is clear and eye-catching, which can be called a clever trick.At the same time, the lid of the box can be opened and closed flexibly, unlike the "President" and "Treasure Island" two kinds of 20-pack cigarette boxes, which have the problem of not being tightly closed after opening, and troublesome to open after being tightly closed, which increases the burden on smokers. The less convenience, the more a good impression.

However, there are two small things, based on the meaning of Spring and Autumn to blame the sages, and the mentality of seeking perfection after perfection, I bring them up for reference. First, the steel seal on the cigarette sticks is a sign of the identity of the cigarette sticks, especially British cigarettes pay more attention to the carving of the steel seal.If we think back to the stencil with the human head and lion body on the Kirik cigarettes back then, how majestic and magnificent it was!Therefore, since the Golden Dragon brand is our premium product in Taiwan, the steel seal on cigarette sticks should also strive to be exquisite.Carving a seal character "Dragon" in a golden powder seal seems to be a bit disproportionate in terms of social status.If the golden dragon painted on the box surface is reduced into a steel seal and engraved on the cigarette branch, the flying dragon is shining in the sky, and it will be much more magnificent.I think the three tobacco factories in Songshan, Taipei, and Fengyuan have trained a lot of masters who engrave steel seals, and making a few flying dragon steel molds should be no problem in terms of technology.

Second, the cigarette sticks are made of white threaded paper and matched with light crimson mottled filter tips, which are much more eye-catching than the white paper and white tips of Changshou cigarettes. No matter how careless people are, they should not smoke the wrong end.Now "Golden Dragon" has added two more red lines, one thick and one thin, adding an extra step in calculating the production cost.I think the cost will also increase. In order to reduce the cost, these two red lines are a bit of a snake, and it seems that they can be cancelled.If adding two red lines does not increase the cost, I think it would be more meaningful to change the inconspicuous green strip on the Changshou cigarette filter into a red line!It's a fool's errand, I think, and all my smoking comrades will agree.
