In the 16th century, tobacco began to spread to the mainland. However, in everyone's impression, it is often seen that people used cigarette bags in the Qing Dynasty. The more popular cigarettes (i.e., cigarettes one by one) began to appear in large quantities during the Republic of China period. Therefore, the Republic of China has produced many famous cigarette brands, many of which have been passed down to this day and have become classic cigarette brands in the mainland.

Old cigarette label collecting status
The cigarette label is one of the four largest print collections in the world, and there are smoke label collectors all over the world. For them, the design, printing, production level and style of the cigarette label are the main, and the value of a rare cigarette label is far higher than the value of the cigarette itself in their minds.
Cigarette pack uses
In the early days, only the name of the cigarette, the number of packaging sticks, and the manufacturer were marked. Patterns and terms rich in the characteristics of the times, some are simpler, with the development of cigarette varieties, its functions are more and more, the quality of printing, patterns are becoming more and more exquisite. Modern cigarette labels generally indicate the name of the cigarette, registered trademark, manufacturer, tar content, number of sticks, bar code, aphorism, length and type of smoke and with beautiful patterns and text descriptions. Some special products are also printed with commemorative texts, such as Wuhan Cigarette Factory Red Golden Dragon Fine Cigarette, Celebrating the Return of Hong Kong to The Return of Hong Kong out-of-print limited edition commemorative labels, and some cigarette labels are also printed with printing manufacturers, printing time, specifications and sizes.
Cigarette pack collection precautions
Cigarette box collection should pay attention to authenticity. Many collectors tell me that the biggest headache for cigarette box collection is the problem of authenticity. In the early years, no one cared about it, and the possibility of cheating was unlikely. In recent years, due to the heating up of collections, many computer design templates have even been remade in printing houses. Counterfeit cigarette labels can be described as worthless, and the anti-counterfeiting ability of the cigarette box itself is limited, especially the early old cigarette labels. Now many senior collectors are afraid to buy fake cigarette labels, not their own line of hands do not dare to accept. This is indeed a big problem that restricts the collection of cigarette boxes.
