China's out-of-print old cigarettes, smoking more than 5 kinds of cigarettes means that you are old, old smokers come and take a look
One cloud, two expensive and three Chinese, peony flowers under the yellow fruit tree, so-so Ashima, three-five-seven star Marlboro, the big red eagle is croaking, Jiaozi rides a red panda, let's go to see the red gold dragon together, the seven wolves are out of the general, there is a jade stream outside the Harder Gate, and the king of hibiscus is on the golden leaf.
In the past, cigarettes were more like a kind of cultural bearer, each place had its own cigarette brand, and the patterns printed on the cigarette box carried the memories of generations, but today's cigarettes can no longer find the taste of the past.
There are so many old cigarettes that are out of print in China, and you have smoked more than 5 kinds of cigarettes, which means that you are old, and in my memory, the people who let us buy cigarettes are also old now, come and see what I said, how many do you know?
Out-of-print memories of the times
Big front door cigarettes
Daqianmen was a grade B cigarette at that time, and the price ranged from 3 cents to 5 cents, which was a relatively good cigarette.
This cigarette was not very easy to buy in the past, and the quality was really good, and it would never extinguish the fire when smoking, even if you forgot to pinch the cigarette butt, it would burn out by itself, and the disadvantage was that it was very easy to cause a fire.
It has gone through more than 100 years since it was launched in the 5th year of the Republic of China, and it is still selling well, which is relatively rare.
Glory brand cigarettes
"To wear flowers, you must wear big red flowers, to ride a horse, to sing songs, to sing songs, to listen to the words of the party...... ”
In 1950, when the Chinese Volunteers entered the Korean War, the Shanghai Tobacco Factory produced glorious cigarettes in order to support the Volunteers, and the big red flower on the cigarette label meant "the Volunteers protect world peace and glory".
In 1967, the "Glory Brand" cigarettes were withdrawn from the stage of history, and because of this, its cigarette label is now priceless.
In 08 years, there are 7 cigarette labels in the domestic market, and one can ask for more than 6,000 yuan, but few people sell them, because this carries the original period of blood and glorious youth.
Diligence and thrift brand cigarettes
"After a hard day's work, I can't earn a box of thrifty cigarettes."
In the sixties and seventies of the last century, a box of "thrifty cigarettes" for five cents was very popular. The cigarette label is printed with the image of the factory and agricultural production, which means that thrift and thrift will be harvested.
At that time, a person could probably divide more than a dozen catties of wheat a year, usually ate wild vegetables, clear soup and little water, barely filled his stomach, and saved some money to buy a box of thrifty brand cigarettes.
That taste just reflects the sentence "A cigarette after a meal is a race against the living immortals". It's just that now, I can't get back the taste of the past.
Unity brand cigarettes
In 69, Yingkou Cigarette Factory printed Chairman Mao's quotations on cigarette packaging, "unite and strive for greater victory", which is a product of the times and the memory of a generation.
Four years later, the Tuanjie brand was discontinued, and 37,020 cases were produced in four years, which shows that even if life is difficult, cigarettes were people's "spiritual food" at that time.
Economic cigarettes
The small white box with simple printing and unsightly appearance records the historical changes of an era, and it is like a black and white photo that records history, showing the most real social outlook.
In mainland China, there are more than 100 cigarette factories producing more than 180 styles of economic cigarettes, the earliest of which can be traced back to 1945.
At that time, the Anti-Japanese War had just been won, and the materials were scarce and the economy was difficult, so economic cigarettes were born, about 8 cents a box, also called "a dime find", which was the cheapest cigarette at that time.
In the past, some consignment store owners would disassemble a box of cigarettes and sell them in bulk, and they could buy two cigarettes for 1 cent, and the boss could earn 1 cent.
However, old smokers who have smoked this kind of cigarette say that this cigarette is cheap and difficult to smoke, but it has also accompanied us through that hard time, and it is still sold until eighty or ninety.
Harvest cards
Fengshou brand cigarettes can be said to be one of the best-selling tobaccos before the reform and opening up, selling 7 cents in some places and 1 Mao 4 in some places, and they are full of bitterness when smoking.
But at that time, people earned 3 or 4 cents a day, a pack of cigarettes was half a day's work, and some people were willing to smoke a pack of harvest cigarettes during the New Year, looking forward to a harvest year.
Red tassel card
Hongying brand cigarettes can be said to be the predecessor of Yuxi, they are all cigarettes from a factory, the taste of Yuxi is good, I believe that the taste of this "big brother" should not be bad.
In the past, when I bought red tassels, it cost almost 2 cents and 1 cent a pack, and the old smokers felt that those cigarettes that cost a few cents at the beginning were more fragrant than the cigarettes that cost twenty or thirty yuan now.
Evergrande brand
This Evergrande is not the same thing as today's Evergrande Group, Evergrande cigarettes were produced by Tianjin Cigarette Factory after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and were specially developed to commemorate the founding celebration.
At the beginning, its positioning was to take the mid-to-high-end route, selling almost 3 cents 2.
Since the 60s of the last century, the tobacco supply system has been established, and like food stamps and cloth stamps, if the price of cigarettes exceeds 3 cents 2, cigarette stamps must also be needed.
At that time, for the New Year's holiday, it was also a very face-saving thing to give away cigarette tickets.
These cigarettes are memories of the innocent era, and although these old cigarettes do not have filters, they have a pure smell of smoke, and that feeling is not found in these cigarettes now.
In addition to the above, there are also 9 points of goldfish, big production, sunflower, 2 mao 6 Badaling, Golden Leaf and Xuchang, 2 mao 8 Pegasus, Donghai, 3 mao 2 Daqianmen, Seagull and Hade Gate.
Cigarettes curling, these have become memories of the past, and every place has a representative cigarette of each place, let's see if there are any memories of your hometown?
Memories of hometown that I can't forget
Yuxi in Yunnan
Yuxi is a cigarette named after the city, it can be said that the smoke is more famous than the city, as the so-called "there is jade smoke in the world, and there is heaven outside the sky", it can be seen that Yuxi has a relatively high status in the hearts of smokers.
Before, there was also a kind of cigarette called Ashima cigarettes under Yuxi, which was a cigarette brand in the 80s of the last century, which was discontinued for a period of time, and now it has started to be produced again, and the response is not bad, and it is more suitable for people with small smoking addictions.
In addition, there is another kind of smoke, which I believe the old smokers know, and that is the Red Tower.
In 59 years, Yuxi Cigarette Factory produced the first pack of cigarettes "Hongtashan" for the 10th anniversary of the National Day, and now, decades have passed, and Hongtashan has become a very well-known cigarette brand.
In my memory, my grandmother used to smoke Hongtashan, and I still remember that she asked me to go to the shop to buy cigarettes, and every time I could earn some pocket money, and now my grandmother is 98 years old, and those years are really nostalgic.
China in Shanghai
"Provincial China, ground peony, general cadres welcome spring smoke"
Since its establishment in 1951, China Tobacco has taken the high-end route and won the reputation of "National Tobacco".
In the 70s, it can be said that it is the most expensive cigarettes, divided into Greater China and Little China, a box of 7 cents 2 in Greater China, and a box of 6 cents 2 in Small China.
Zhongnanhai, Beijing
Zhongnanhai cigarettes are a brand produced by Beijing Cigarette Factory, which originated from Chairman Mao's smoking habit in his later years.
Shandong Taishan
Nowadays in Shandong, Taishan cigarettes also have a name called "white general", and old smokers in Shandong will say that Shandong people who do not smoke white generals are not authentic.
And at the end of the 70s, Shandong's parrot cigarettes were also famous, a pack of 4 mao 6, produced in Qingzhou Cigarette Factory.
In addition to these, there are Liqun in Zhejiang and Yellow Crane Tower in Hubei, both of which are more popular with smokers, especially the Yellow Crane Tower, which is known as China's high-end cigarettes along with Zhonghua, Yuxi, and Furong Wang.
Hunan is more famous is the Furong King, as the so-called "Hunan three unique go to the world, the king smokes and drinks Xiangfei tea", the Furong King is known to almost every Hunan person.
Then there are the Jiaozi in Sichuan, the snow lotus in Xinjiang, the coconut king smoke in Hainan, the golden leaf in Henan, the Changbai Mountain in Jilin, Nanjing in Jiangsu, the five-leaf god in Guangdong, the seven wolves in Fujian, and the good cat in Shaanxi.
How many of these cigarettes have you smoked?
After smoking cigarettes for so many years, have you found that the price of hard cigarettes and soft cigarettes is different, and how much do you know about the "unspoken rules"?
Know how much about cigarettes
Many cigarette brands are divided into soft and hard boxes, and generally speaking, the price of soft boxes will be higher than that of hard boxes. There are two main reasons why prices are different.
One is the different cost, this cost is reflected in the packaging on the one hand, the wrapping paper used for the soft box is better, the workmanship is more fine, and the pattern is more complex.
On the other hand, the quality of tobacco is better, the tobacco of soft box cigarettes is better, the tobacco is generally roasted from freshly grown tea leaves, the taste is smoother, and the varieties and sources of tobacco are different, and the prices are different.
There is also reflected in the transportation cost, soft-shell cigarettes are easily squeezed and damaged during transportation, so when transporting soft-shell cigarettes, in addition to the transportation fee, you also need to add a layer of protection, which will be higher than the transportation cost of hard-shell cigarettes.
The second is to use consumer psychology, one is that scarcity is expensive, when China first introduced cigarettes, only soft cigarettes, and later after the emergence of hard cigarettes, because the transportation is more convenient and cheaper, so manufacturers have reduced the production of soft packs, resulting in scarcity as expensive.
The second is to use the comparison psychology of consumers, everyone has a soft shell for cigarettes is more expensive than the hard shell, when socializing outside, people will buy a pack of soft pack cigarettes for themselves to support the scene.
The third is to take into account the comfort of carrying, generally speaking, old smokers will carry cigarettes with them, if it is a hard-shell cigarette, whether it is placed in the jacket pocket or pants pocket, it will be panicked, if you want to make yourself more comfortable, some people will choose soft-pack cigarettes.
Because of this, the price of soft-pack cigarettes will be more expensive than hard-pack cigarettes.
Nowadays, there are more and more tobacco brands, but the old smokers who have smoked a box of cigarettes for a few cents have a feeling that there are more types of cigarettes now, but there is less taste.
The years of burning passion have become memories, and I can only light a cigarette in my spare time, watch the smoke rise, and the memories flash in my mind frame by frame.
At this point, what comes to mind?
