Just tried these Zhongnanhai 8mg sticks. The draw feels smooth with a lightness that doesn't drag, making the first few puffs easy to handle.

As someone who prioritises stated specs, build quality and cost-effectiveness, these deliver reliably on their listed 8mg nicotine content. The draw is smooth with no uneven burn across the pack I purchased, and the price point is noticeably better than comparable 8mg cigarette options I’ve seen on the UK market.

Expected these to be lighter based on my past orders, but the throat hit feels stronger than usual for an 8mg. Taste is fine, just didn't live up to earlier expectations.
