Shuangxi(huayue) cigarettes

Double Happiness Huayue is a flue-cured Virginia-style cigarette that brings together a refined presentation and a smooth, full-bodied smoke. Each slim cigarette measures 84mm and is made with a slow-burning tobacco blend that delivers generous smoke with only a light draw resistance.

Flavor and smoking experience. On the nose, the tobacco shows a subtle medicinal-herbal note. The first draw is mild yet full of smoke, and it passes down the throat smoothly. The slow burn keeps the smoke plentiful throughout, in keeping with the characteristic leaf feel of Double Happiness. With fast, repeated draws, a slight tingle develops on the tongue and a gentle throat hit appears; toward the middle and back of the cigarette, the tongue tingle grows and the throat hit strengthens a little. After finishing a whole cigarette, some smokers notice a faint bitterness in the mouth.

Specifications. Tar 8mg, nicotine 0.8mg, carbon monoxide 8mg. Slim format, 84mm length. Packed in hard cartons: 20 cigarettes per pack, 10 packs per carton.

Packaging and design. The pack has a golden-yellow base with a floral motif and a central panel of text. The cigarettes feel a little longer than typical slims, and the filter end is fully golden with a hollowed-out design at the base for a premium look. The filter section is longer than on most slim cigarettes.
