To identify genuine and fake famous cigarettes, we must start from two aspects: the appearance and packaging of the cigarette, the packaging of the cigarette and the inherent quality of the cigarette text. Counterfeiting famous cigarettes is effective. The identification points are as follows:

1. Identification from the appearance and packaging of cigarettes:

1. Famous and high-quality box cigarettes are generally produced and packaged by imported machines. The transparent paper on the box is smooth and clean. , compact and beautiful, the transparent paper flap is mostly located at the lower end of the top cover of the box and is heated and bonded. A small box packed with transparent paper. The distance between the pull cord and the upper end is 4-7 mm. One end of the pull cord is 5 mm unglued and is used as a handle. The pull cord head is in the shape of a small tongue. The transparent paper overlap is also heated and bonded. It is clean, moderately hard, and stiff. . The paper pull heads of counterfeit famous cigarettes are generally flat and narrow in width, some heads are beveled, and most of them have no thread pull heads. The transparent paper is glued with latex glue and is easy to loosen. Recently, most famous cigarettes have the manufacturer's inscriptions printed on the tuck paper. Some famous cigarettes use fluorescent fiber anti-counterfeiting wires. For example, the Huangshan and Yipin Huangshan cigarettes produced by Bengbu Cigarette Factory use fluorescent fiber anti-counterfeiting wires. Pull the string.

2. From the appearance, the trademark paper of the small box of famous cigarettes has no obvious edges and corners. The sealing flower is glued with transparent adhesive and has an obvious offset printing. The trademark pattern and words are clear and complete, and the color is bright; counterfeit famous cigarettes are generally irregular, with obvious 90-degree corners, and the sealing flower is bonded with rubber at both ends. This is the most obvious difference between fake famous cigarettes and famous high-quality cigarettes. Used old boxes and small boxes to counterfeit famous cigarettes, the surface is not smooth, there are some anti-printing patterns, the words are dark and light, and the small fonts on both sides of the trademark are blurred or incomplete. There are some missing prints, overprints and misprints. Some counterfeit famous cigarettes have additional designs, such as a fake frosted cloud with a hand with its thumb raised. Some add additional words, such as the Year of the Tiger on the side of a fake Yuxi Cigarette Factory. The best red plums and Ashima in the Year of the Ox, the Year of the Pig, and the Year of the Pig, as well as the counterfeit Yuxi Cigarette Factory’s 20-pack red plums, 25-pack red plums, Hongtashan, etc. to celebrate Macau’s return. The designs of the trademarks of these fake famous cigarettes are different from those of real famous cigarettes, and the colors they use tend to be dim and unclear. The reason why criminals change the patterns or words of famous cigarettes is simply to attract the attention of consumers. Consumers who do not know why they think it is because the cigarette factory has developed a brand with new flavors.

3. The pinholes of famous cigarettes are the 1-4 scratches left on the machine pack at the corners on both sides of the bottom of the small box of cigarettes produced by the machine. Most of the counterfeit famous cigarettes are hand-packed and generally do not have needle holes, which is one of the important signs of genuine and fake famous cigarettes: In addition, some small boxes of famous cigarettes are now printed with quality codes or quality codes printed with inkjet printers on the bottom of the outer packaging. Track anti-counterfeiting marks such as batch codes and pattern marks. Such as the Huangshan and Luhuangshan cigarettes from Bengbu Cigarette Factory, and the Hongtashan and Ashima cigarettes from Yuxi Cigarette Factory.

4. Both sides of the small box of famous cigarettes are machine-folded, flat and at the same angle. Counterfeit cigarettes are generally folded by hand, with uneven convex and concave shapes and irregular angles.

5. The foil paper of famous and high-quality cigarettes is uniform in thickness, silvery white and bright. Some famous and high-quality cigarettes are also stamped with the organic station number on the aluminum foil, which is something that fake famous cigarettes cannot do. Some famous cigarettes are printed with Chinese characters or Chinese characters and pinyin of the factory name and other words or patterns on the aluminum foil paper. For example, the cigarette aluminum foil paper of Ningbo Cigarette Factory and Hong'an Cigarette Factory is printed with Chinese characters and pinyin factory names; the cigarette aluminum foil paper of Bengbu Cigarette Factory is embossed with the name of Bengbu Cigarette Factory inscribed by the famous calligrapher Zhang Kaifan, and the aluminum foil paper on the back is printed with " The English logo of "BENCBU CIGARFJTE FACTORY" has a special font and is difficult to imitate; the aluminum foil of Xianning Cigarette Factory's cigarettes is printed with Mao Zedong's handwriting "Serve the People", while the aluminum foil of Yuxi Cigarette Factory's Hongtashan cigarettes is printed with the pinyin of Hongtashan in cursive script. And "dragon horse" pattern. The aluminum foil paper used for counterfeiting famous cigarettes has been inferior for many times, with a slightly lighter silver color, uneven thickness, and rough surface.

2. Identification from the packaging and molding of cigarettes

1. Famous and high-quality cigarettes are wrapped with a layer of yellow water-stick paper and tipping paper on the filter tip. The distance between the cigarette and the cigarette is 31-35mm from the upper end of the mouth. The stamp is on the same straight line. The weight of the cigarette is about 1.15g/cigarette. The counterfeit cigarettes have a hook-and-loop paper overlap of approximately 10 mm, and the stamps and fonts on the cigarettes are light in color and unevenly positioned up and down.

2. Most of Mingyouyan’s thread paper and tipping paper have anti-counterfeiting characteristics.

For example, Hongtashan cigarettes use anti-counterfeiting threaded cigarette paper with the watermark "YXCF" and perforated cork paper with the brand name printed on it.

3. The cigarette text and the joint of famous cigarettes are full and evenly tight; the cigarettes and joints of fake famous cigarettes are soft, and some are even loose and loose; the cuts of famous and high-quality cigarettes are even and even. Round and full, the surface is smooth and clean. The font, production shift code and month on the cigarette are clear and complete. The seam is a straight line without cigarettes. The cut of the counterfeit famous cigarette is rough and not round. The surface is not smooth and clean. The seam is not smooth. The slant and straightness vary, and often contain cigarette powder; famous and high-quality cut tobacco is generally o.6-o.7mm, with very few cut stems. The width of counterfeit cut tobacco is generally thin, short, and uneven, and some are still stems.

3. Observation from the perspective of internal quality

1. The tobacco leaves used for famous and high-quality flue-cured tobacco are generally orange, golden or yellow, with an oily luster and basically no cyan color. Most of the counterfeit tobacco is brown-black and green-brown in different shades and has a dull luster. When sniffing famous cigarettes, they all have a refreshing smell. The natural aroma of the smoke and the mixed aroma of the essence are obviously soft and make people feel comfortable after smelling it. Because counterfeit cigarettes are over-flavored and use low-quality flavors, they have a single flavor smell that makes people feel uncomfortable when smelling it, or the fragrance is mediocre. If the fragrance dissipates over time, the odor will be revealed.

2. Smoking flavor: Made from Ding Mingyou tobacco leaves that have been fully fermented and scientifically formulated. When smoking, the aroma in the throat is mellow, plump, elegant and fragrant, with moderate strength, little irritation and a pleasant aftertaste. Most of the tobacco leaves of counterfeit famous cigarettes are not fermented. When smoking, the smoke inhaled into the throat is spicy and has a bitter aftertaste. The strength varies. , the green and miscellaneous smell is obvious. Another point that cannot be ignored is that after a famous cigarette is lit, it smolders well and does not go out. The ash is gray-white and round, and generally does not fall apart. When counterfeit cigarettes are lit, the smoldering cigarette is easily extinguished and the ash is mostly black. When burning, the ash explodes outward and scatters.

The last thing that needs to be added is that the famous and high-quality cigarettes sold on the market now are beautifully packaged, and most of the famous brand cigarettes are packaged in hard flip-top anti-counterfeiting cigarette boxes: At present, various cigarette manufacturers in my country generally use the following anti-counterfeiting technologies Printed hard flip cigarette boxes: The earliest and most commonly used cigarette boxes are printed with laser discoloration anti-counterfeiting (information anti-counterfeiting) technology, such as Yingkesong, Yanwang, Yunyan, Yuren, Jinsha, the latest version of Dachongjiu, and frosted High-quality Huangguoshu and other cigarette boxes are information anti-counterfeiting cigarette boxes.
