Type 1
Currently, there are so many cigarette brands on the market that it is difficult for citizens to distinguish the genuine ones from the fake ones. Below, the author introduces several identification methods for your reference.
Take a look at the package. The transparent paper of the genuine cigarette package is flat, and the seam is sealed with a soldering iron to make it smooth and smooth; the seal of the package is glued with a mechanical point. Fake cigarette stick packages are often packaged with defective old crystals, which are uneven and smooth; the laps and seals are often bonded with glue; the stick packages are loosely packed and have uneven softness and hardness.
Second look at the cigarette box. The small packets of real cigarettes are packaged in transparent paper. The pull cords are in the shape of a small platform and are firmly and flatly bonded. The transparent paper of fake cigarettes is uneven and loose, and the pull-tape head is generally flat, and most of them have no head; the pull-tape and the transparent paper are not bonded; the transparent paper of the cigarette box is uneven after being pulled apart.
Look at the trademark three times. The real cigarette stick package and the small package have the same trademark, with clear patterns and writing. The printing of fake cigarette patterns is rough, the colors are inconsistent, the handwriting is unclear, and there are errors and omissions in Chinese pinyin and English letters.
Look at the cigarettes four times. The filters of real cigarettes are neatly cut and have no stubble, the rolled cigarettes are even in thickness, moderately soft and hard, the stamp and machine number are clear, and the surface of the cigarettes is clean; the opposite is true for fake cigarettes. In addition, the mouthpiece of the real cigarette holder is full and does not leak. Fake cigarettes generally do not have filter tips lined with paper, and the mouthpiece is loose and prone to air leakage.
Look at the tobacco. Real cigarettes have fewer tobacco stems and have been expanded to make the tobacco smooth and shiny. Fake cigarettes have many tobacco stems and even mixtures in the tobacco. The tobacco is dull and greenish-brown.
Six smells. Real cigarettes have the special natural fragrance of tobacco, while fake cigarettes have an unpleasant flavor smell or a bland aroma due to excessive spices or the use of inferior flavors.
Seven burning inhalations. Real cigarettes have pure aroma, appropriate strength, little irritation, and a pleasant aftertaste. They will not go out automatically after being lit. The ash is gray-white and not easy to scatter. Fake cigarette leaves are generally not fermented and have a pungent taste with an unpleasant aftertaste. They are easy to extinguish after being lit, and the ash is gray-black. The ash explodes outwards and is easy to fall off.
《2》The second type
One touch
Cigarettes, whether soft or hard-packed, are all covered with a transparent film. When consumers buy cigarettes, the first thing they come into contact with is the outer packaging.
Real cigarette: The plastic film feels smooth to the touch, has good transparency and good gloss. It is a special film. This film is only used for cigarette packaging. When you open it and touch it again, you will feel that the outer packaging film is thinner and softer to the touch.
Fake cigarettes: They use a general film with poor gloss. If you look at the cigarette box through the film, you will feel that the transparency is poor. It will feel sluggish when you touch it with your hands. If you touch it again after taking it apart, you will feel this The film is thicker and harder.
Second look
Identify by color. Consumers who regularly smoke one type of cigarette should pay attention to comparing the color of the cigarette packs when purchasing cigarettes. If possible, bring a real empty cigarette case with you the next time you buy cigarettes. No matter how realistic the fake cigarette box is, there is still a difference in color from the real cigarette box.
Identify it from cut tobacco. Some people mistakenly believe that the yellower the cut tobacco, the better the quality of the cigarette. In fact, this is a misunderstanding.
Real tobacco: The shredded tobacco of real tobacco is natural in color, with a yellowish to black color. There are generally no untreated tobacco stems in shredded tobacco, because untreated tobacco stems are difficult to burn and are prone to flameout. Regular manufacturers puff the tobacco stems during production.
Fake cigarettes: In order to confuse consumers, sulfur-smoked tobacco leaves are generally used to make the cut tobacco appear yellow and shiny. Tobacco stems are often seen in fake cigarettes. It is impossible for the manufacturer to expend effort on puffing the tobacco stems. It is a specialized process and requires the purchase of high-end equipment.
Identification from soot. After ordinary consumers smoke, they see white ash and think it is a good smoke. In fact, this is also a misunderstanding. In fact, the color of cigarette ash is affected by the dryness of the tobacco leaves. When the tobacco leaves are dry, the ash will appear gray-white after burning. On the contrary, it will be darker and harder to smoke.
To determine whether a cigarette is genuine or fake from the ash, you should observe during burning to see if there are tobacco stems emerging from the shredded tobacco. When tobacco stems appear, the cigarette will become difficult to smoke.
Three puffs
Smoking cigarettes is a more effective way for consumers to identify the authenticity of cigarettes. Generally, consumers will smoke one kind of cigarette for a long time, and if the taste suddenly changes greatly, they may encounter fake cigarettes.
Real smoke: Generally, the formula is relatively stable and the taste is also stable.
For a variety of cigarettes from a regular cigarette factory, the materials are carefully selected and the formula is developed over a long period of time. Although the sources of tobacco leaves may come from different regions across the country, the stability of the taste can be guaranteed by using a comprehensive formula based on 40 levels of cut tobacco ingredients.
Fake cigarettes: Counterfeiters cannot take into account the issue of taste. If they can fool them into roughly similar cigarettes and exchange them for money, everything will be fine. It can also be said that fake cigarettes all taste the same.
Four disassembly
