Counterfeit cigarettes must be identified from both the appearance and intrinsic quality of the cigarette. From the appearance, one is a privately made imitation of famous cigarette packaging. This kind of packaging generally has blurred writing, incorrect colors, inaccurate color registration, obvious pattern deviation, and the fine parts of the pattern often appear rough. Compared with the genuine product, the entire picture appears lifeless, making it easier to identify. The other is to put fake cigarettes in real packaging. For example, the real cigarette packaging paper that was discarded during the test run of the printing factory was used. Although the plate making was accurate, due to the use of the test machine, most of the colors were incorrect and the colors were misregistered. For counterfeit cigarettes rolled in authentic wrapping paper stolen from the National Cigarette Factory, the cellophane packaging outside the cigarette box must be carefully checked. Regular cigarette factories use automated equipment to package cellophane. The packaging machine has hot pressing capabilities. The bonded cellophane is smooth after hot pressing and is attached to the paper inside with appropriate tightness. Most of the counterfeit cigarettes are hand-wrapped in cellophane, which has not been hot-pressed and is uneven. In order to obtain a smooth surface, it must be stretched very tightly, causing the inner wrapping paper to be uneven. In addition, all cigarettes covered with cellophane have open drawstrings. The exposed ends of genuine drawstrings are round, while the drawstrings of fake cigarettes are often cut straight to the end.

Identification from the intrinsic quality of cigarettes: Famous cigarettes are all produced by machines. They are rolled into cigarettes first, and then the filters are installed after cutting. The cigarettes are of the same length and thickness, and the filters are also of the same length and thickness. Most of the counterfeit cigarettes are shredded tobacco put in by hand. Although the length of the cigarettes is roughly the same after rolling, the thickness and elasticity are uneven. The shredded tobacco at the joint with the filter tip is loose. The length of the filter tip rod is uneven, generally very short, and some only have normal filters. The mouth stick is 1/3 as long, the weight is too large, the appearance is untidy, and the logo is blurry. The stamp mark should be clear and complete, with an appropriate position, and should not be blurred, overlapping, or incomplete; the stamp mark should not be inverted, and the position from the mouth end of the cigarette should be basically the same, and the deviation should not be greater than ±20mm. The tobacco content of cigarettes must not exceed 5:5, and fake and inferior cigarettes generally exceed the standard. During the inspection, a cigarette tip content measuring instrument is used to screen the cut tobacco with a known weight under specified range conditions. The ratio of the cigarette tip weight to the cut tobacco weight is the tip content rate. The flammability of cigarettes requires that they must not extinguish during ignition and free smoldering. The free smoldering length of a cigarette is 40 mm. The test sample needs to be balanced for 24 hours in an environment with a temperature of 22±2°C and a relative humidity of 60±2. Take 10 balanced cigarettes and insert them horizontally on the cigarette smoldering rack. After lighting, the cigarettes smolder freely and are 40mm long and 10 The cigarette is considered qualified if there is no flameout phenomenon. Fake and inferior cigarettes have poor combustibility because they are processed with inferior cigarettes or dyed with chemical pigments, or even mixed with loess. They smell spicy, earthy, or musty when smoked, and the shredded tobacco is also unevenly wide. Seriously loose air, excessive moisture or mildew, bursting, and flameout are the general characteristics of the external quality of inferior cigarettes.

In terms of manufacturing methods, counterfeit cigarettes can be roughly divided into three categories:

The first type is hand-made counterfeit cigarettes. Manufacturers use raw tobacco, cigarette scraps or homemade tobacco to hand-make cigarettes that are counterfeiting authentic products. This type of counterfeit cigarettes are easier to identify due to their poor appearance and intrinsic quality. This type of counterfeit cigarettes is the most harmful to human health due to the very low quality of the cut tobacco and rough manufacturing process, and some of the cut tobacco has been chemically dyed.

The second type is machine-made counterfeit cigarettes. Such cigarettes are usually counterfeit cigarettes smuggled in from abroad or illegally manufactured by "underground cigarette factories" in mainland China. Such counterfeit cigarettes often have their own formulas and relatively complete processes and equipment. Although there are many differences compared with authentic products, their appearance and quality are usually very similar to authentic products, making it easy for consumers to be deceived. There are a large number of such counterfeit cigarettes and they are currently the main form of counterfeit cigarettes. ?

The third type is counterfeit cigarettes that have been manually repackaged. Using cigarettes of the same specification (such as defective cigarettes or low-grade cigarettes) or different brands, the original wrapping paper is removed through manual operation and converted into a higher-grade or more expensive brand. Such as "Yunyan" and "Camellia" modified from defective cigarettes, fully packaged "Peony" modified from simple "Peony", "Yellow Red Plum" modified from "White Red Plum", etc.

1. "Hongtashan"

According to market inspections, there have been many counterfeit Yunyan cigarettes in recent years, especially the famous brand "Hongtashan" cigarettes.

The famous cigarette "Hongtashan" produced by Yuxi Cigarette Factory in Yunnan has 4 specifications: 84mm and 94mm hard box clamshell and 84mm and 94mm soft box. A spot check of the market found that 84mm soft box products were the most counterfeit. The main identification points are as follows:

1 Strip packaging: There are evenly distributed colored fibers on the inside of strip packaging and hard box packaging. The Chinese and English names of the strips are overprinted with red gold edges, and the main pattern of "Hongta Mountain" is printed with golden peaks and clouds. The Chinese and English "Produced by Yuxi Cigarette Factory, Yunnan, China" are marked in black regular script fonts. Recent products have an anti-counterfeiting logo embossed in the upper left corner. The picture is as follows: Use strong light to make it clearly visible.

The black barcode number on the carton is as follows:

84mm soft pack of 10 packs of cartons (filtered cigarettes)

6901028047029

84mm 10 packs of sticks in hard pack (hard pack filtered cigarettes)

6901028047063

10 packs of 94mm soft packs (long soft pack filtered cigarettes)

6901028047043

94mm hard pack 10 packs (long hard pack filtered cigarettes)

6901028047050

"Hongtashan" products adopt internationally advanced rolling and splicing methods , bags are produced on modern assembly lines. Small bags and strips are packaged in square and regular shapes with clear lines, fixed dimensions, small tolerances, strong bonding overlaps, smooth and clean appearance, compact plastic oil seal packaging with high gloss, and the sealing is heated and bonded by a machine. Not easy to open. The drawstrings are self-sealing. Except for the 94mm hard box, which is straight, the other drawstrings (including 84mm hard and soft boxes and 94mm soft boxes) are all semicircular. They are located on the side with the Chinese Pinyin Hongta Mountain, counterclockwise. Pull away. There is a 20mm wide matt oil adhesive tape at all the adhesive sealing areas of the strip box. The side adhesive tape is three-point type and both ends are dotted line type.

The counterfeit "Hongtashan" cellophane strips have poor transparency and lack of luster. The cellophane is thicker than the genuine one. There is a large gap between the cellophane and the strip box. The overlap is glued, so there are obvious wrinkles and the sealing area is After a few wipes with your hands, it is easy to open, and the box is irregularly glued and sealed.

2 Boxed: Using gravure printing technology, the fonts and patterns are clear and complete. The trademark uses Hongta Mountain as the main pattern, with golden peaks and clouds as the background. The color is bright and the main pattern is printed in bright red, with gold overprinting. "Hongta Mountain" in Chinese and English is overprinted in bright red and gold, and "Yuxi, Yunnan, China" "Produced by Cigarette Factory" is printed in Chinese and English with gold standard fonts. Recently, the Chinese side of the soft package of recent products has an anti-counterfeiting emblem printed on the upper left corner, which can produce a UV photochromic effect. The hard bag is printed with an anti-counterfeiting emblem in the upper center, and the center of the pattern can produce a UV photochromic effect. The "gold edge" and "gold characters" in the pattern will appear golden when exposed to sunlight and light. There is a black barcode printed on one side of the small box, and the number is as follows:〖JP〗

84mm soft bag 6901028048026

84mm hard bag 6901028048033

94mm soft bag 6901028048040

94mm hard bag 6901028048057

The main pattern "Hongta Mountain", the golden peaks and the edges of the barcode lines all show tiny zigzags when observed carefully with a magnifying glass. The counterfeit products either have no zigzag in the corresponding parts, or the distance between the jagged teeth is much larger than that of the genuine product.

From the perspective of packaging technology, when you open the cigarette label (the small sealing strip on the upper part of each pack of cigarettes, called "mouth flower" in some places), you can see two vertically thin adhesive strips. There are traces of pasting, while for counterfeit cigarettes, after the cigarette label is torn off, the traces of bonding are often one piece. The order of cigarettes is 7, 6, 7.

The sealing feature of genuine soft box packaging is a three-section glue line, with the upper one short, the middle one and the lower one long. Fake cigarettes often have an irregular line.

The genuine hard box packaging has an 8mm wide five-dot matrix glue mark on the left and right sides, while the fake cigarettes are in the shape of irregular sheets.

There is a five-point dot matrix glue mark before and after the genuine aluminum foil paper and the small box are sealed, while the fake cigarettes are in the shape of irregular sheets.

Authentic products often have a black cursor behind the cigarette label, which is used by a machine that packs 500 boxes of cigarettes per minute to automatically identify and cut off the cigarette label. Some genuine "Hongtashan" products also have no reading cursor behind the cigarette label. , so this item is only used as a reference criterion.

Note: The 20 cigarettes in the aluminum foil paper of the 4 sizes of "Hongtashan" are all packed horizontally, and all the cigarettes packed vertically are fake. In addition, for the 20 cigarettes in the 4 specifications of the box, the imported hemp threaded paper used for rolling cigarettes must have two opening directions: upper and lower. That is, the opening direction of the cigarette paper must be upper or lower among the 20 cigarettes. What is pressed down must also be pressed down. If the cigarettes in a pack of cigarettes are rolled in only one direction, they are all fake cigarettes.

Aluminum foil paper: The authentic "Hongtashan" uses imported aluminum foil paper, which is white and neat in color, while the fake aluminum foil paper is black and yellow in color.

3 Cigarettes: The cigarettes are rolled using hemp threaded paper, and the splices are made of snowflake dot pattern tipping paper, with the English letters "YXCF" printed on them with clear handwriting. The factory mark YXCF on the hemp threaded cigarette paper has no threads and the font is broken. Any cigarettes with threads on the YXCF or fonts that are continuous and unbroken are fakes.

The genuine "Hongtashan" cigarettes and the filter are connected naturally and tightly, with the same length and thickness. The steel stamps printed on the cigarettes are in the same position and direction. The font is 2mm high and 1mm wide, and is uniform, while the height, width, position, and direction of the fake font are messy. Although the length of the cigarette is roughly the same, the thickness is often different. The cut tobacco at the joint between the filter and the cigarette is often loose, and the filter is yellow. Although the wrapping paper is of the same length, the filter rods inside are often of varying lengths, mostly shorter than the original. Genuine "Hongtashan" cigarettes are plump, with moderate tightness, smooth and clean surface, firmly bonded joints, flush cuts, clear and complete gold Chinese brand name steel seal and red English steel seal, and red Arabic numerals printed on the joints of the cigarettes. The fake ones are Cigarette writing is often unclear.

4 Cut tobacco: Genuine "Hongtashan" cut tobacco is slender and even, golden or orange in color, oily in luster, and stemless. There is a certain proportion of expanded stems in the shredded tobacco, which is elastic when pressed, dry and mildew-free, and does not flame out when smoking. The cut tobacco of fake cigarettes is dark in color, black or red, has no oily feeling, and has no elasticity when pressed, which means that the cut stems are not expanded to a certain proportion. Some fake cigarettes have too many expanded stems, and even have stem heads and stem lumps mixed in.

In addition to the appearance of cigarettes, the most important thing is to identify the internal quality. That is, judging the authenticity of cigarettes based on their color, aroma, and taste. Genuine "Hongtashan" cut tobacco has a golden color, oily luster, rich, harmonious and pure aroma. It is prepared with special spices. It has moderate strength, smooth entry into the throat, and a pure and comfortable aftertaste. It has the typical style of Yunyan.

It has a peculiar smell when smoking: spicy, musty, earthy or special spices, and it is easy to flame out and does not have the "yunyan" quality. The typical style of "Hongtashan".

The identification method of Hongtashan cigarettes introduced above is also applicable to other products such as "Yuxi", "Ashima", "Shilin" and "Hongmei" produced by Yuxi Cigarette Factory in Yunnan, China. When consumers are identifying cigarettes, they must make a comprehensive judgment and make a correct judgment based on various aspects such as cartons, boxes, cigarettes, cut tobacco, color, aroma, and taste.
