Our notes

Furongwang is the blend to reach for if the Chunghwa house style reads as too sugary. The leaf is brighter and the finish drier, with a faint grassy note that survives the whole stick.

It is not a subtle cigarette, but it is a clean one, and the paper quality is a visible cut above the price bracket.

What works

Drier, brighter profile than most Chinese blends
High-grade paper burns without tunnelling
Strong mid-market availability

What does not

Less complexity than the price implies
Grassy note divides opinion

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.
