Where do Hilton cigarettes come from?

Hilton is the second largest tobacco production company in the world. It is a cigarette brand produced by British American Tobacco Company. Its position among the more than 300 brands of British American Tobacco Company in the world is second only to Dunhill and Governor, 555. It is currently in It is produced or co-produced in 17 countries around the world. It was once produced in Huaying, Shandong, my country. However, Huaying is now essentially controlled by Shandong’s General Group. Black Cat and Hilton have ceased production in China. Currently, Hilton is far away from us. The nearest place of production is South Korea. British American Tobacco's production plant in South Korea also produces Hilton, but it is mainly for export. Koreans prefer Dunhill, but Hilton does not suit their taste. Hilton cigarettes were very popular in my country in the 1980s and 1990s. At that time, Hilton was the best cigarette that we ordinary people could easily buy. Later, with the development of my country's national cigarette manufacturers and the ban on Hilton by the National Tobacco Company, Hilton has gradually faded out of our lives. Hilton is another smooth development of British American Tobacco. Like Dunhill, it has nothing to do with the world-famous Hilton Group. It was just British American Tobacco that used the topic to exploit the loopholes in the British trademark registration law at that time - trademarks were not protected across industries. Loopholes have taken advantage of Dunhill and Hilton. British American Tobacco's Hilton trademark was registered in the United Kingdom in 1962 and is currently registered in 87 countries around the world. A large proportion of Hilton cigarettes sold in the Chinese mainland market are fake cigarettes through formal channels. You can only buy the smuggled label version that was confiscated by customs. It is hard to find the so-called Hilton with the word "Hilton", so you can see the words "exclusively sold by China Tobacco Corporation", the words "smoking is harmful to health" and the tar content and nicotine content of the smoke. Nine out of ten cigarettes are fake. The other type is the smuggled Hilton that can be found in small cigarette shops. Most of them come from Russia and Kazakhstan. The characteristic is that there is a Russian mark on the lower part of the front of the cigarette. The warning also includes that there are currently only two types of Hiltons in the world, one is kings and the other is lights, both of which are packed in hard boxes of 20 pieces. Soft boxes are only sold in South Africa and should not be lost like China. Smugglers also have to consider the cost. South Africa It’s too far away from us~ You can still see 50-pack tin cans on the market. The cigarettes are real, but the packaging is not the work of British American Tobacco but a masterpiece of our country’s customs. They are smuggled cigarettes confiscated by the customs. It is original. The packaging specifications are imposed by the customs in order to increase the selling price. Careful friends will understand after comparison. The most expensive box of Hilton in ordinary packaging is only 7 yuan, but a can of 50 sticks costs at least 20 yuan! I have also seen a white elongated Hilton, with 20 cigarettes in a white flat square box. This is not produced by British American Tobacco but is the contribution of counterfeit cigarette dealers
