The Changan Impression offers a distinct toasted note without being overpowering. The medium length feels balanced, and at 9mg tar it's not too harsh on the throat compared to other brands in this range.

Ordered again after my last box was a bit hit-or-miss on the burn rate. These Changan Impression sticks are finally consistent with that toasted finish I liked before. Still smooth and not too spicy, exactly as expected when the supply chain catches up.

Just popped open this Haomao Changan strip and the smell is quite pleasant, not overly harsh at all. The medium length feels right in hand. It's smooth on the first few puffs without any choking sensation. Good initial impression from the toasted finish.
