Chunghwa Hard Pack
The Chinese state banquet cigarette, and still the reference point for the sweetened Yunnan style.
The everyday southern Chinese blend: sweet, forgiving, and priced to be bought by the carton.
In production since 1906
Far East buys every product it reviews at retail. We take no money from tobacco manufacturers, run no affiliate links and sell nothing. Prices shown are indicative retail in the product’s home market.
Double Happiness sits a clear step below Chunghwa in refinement and roughly a third of the price, which is the trade the brand has been making for a century. The smoke is soft and sweet with a short finish, and the medium tar rating is honest — this smokes lighter than the number suggests.
Construction is the weak point. We found two loosely packed sticks across four packs, both of which burned fast down one side.

Tar and nicotine are the manufacturer or market-label declarations, measured by machine under ISO conditions. They do not describe what any individual smoker inhales.
Smoking kills. A high reader rating means people who smoke it like it. It does not mean it is safe, and no cigarette in this catalogue is safer than any other.

Reading is open to everyone, and every score on this site comes from readers like you. Rating, reviewing and building a shelf need an account — about twenty seconds, and we ask for nothing beyond a name and an email.
The Chinese state banquet cigarette, and still the reference point for the sweetened Yunnan style.
Hunan's business-class cigarette — clean, bright and noticeably less sweetened than its rivals.
Grown and blended at the source in Yunnan, and the most floral cigarette in the Chinese mainstream.
