Launched at the end of 2004, 黄鹤楼1916 (Huanghelou 1916) boasts an impressive array of 13 patented technologies, quickly capturing attention and achieving sustained popularity in the national market. This product embodies a subtle luxury and elegant character, earning the title of "Most Noteworthy New Product in the Chinese Tobacco Industry of 2004" and winning the 2004 China Excellent Brand Image Award, thus becoming a flagship of high-end Chinese cigarettes. Rooted in the introduction of the "Nanyang Yan Kui No. 1 Formula" by a Bolivian merchant in 1916, it represents a classic interpretation of ancient recipes blended with modern technology; the selection rate of tobacco leaves is a remarkable 200 kilograms yielding just 1.0 kilogram, with each leaf as precious as gold, naturally aged for over five years in the pristine environments of Suizhou and Enshi, Hubei. The packaging design is led by Mr. Chen Shaohua, the designer of the 2008 Beijing Olympic bid logo. The DNA anti-counterfeiting feature ensures that each pack of cigarettes possesses a unique identity certification. Featuring a 70mm (traditional 84mm) short cigarette, it retains the original characteristics from the birth of cigarettes. The mouthpiece is crafted from golden paper, exuding a natural air of nobility as it rests between the fingers.
