Smoking has always been considered harmful, but even so, there are still many smokers because the sensation of tobacco is truly extraordinary.
In the past, I often saw elders squatting in front of the gate, holding cigarette pouches in their hands, smoking one bite at a time, and feeling refreshed every time, so at that time, there was a saying that "a cigarette after a meal, a race over the living immortals".
But in fact, in those days, the number of people who could smoke cigarettes was counted, and later due to the strong support of the state for the tobacco industry, people became more standardized in smoking.
Up to now, there have been many different flavors of cigarettes, how many can old smokers know?
Old cigarettes
If you want to say why cigarettes can develop rapidly, it is because there is a wide range of smokers, in the earliest days, there was a cigarette brand called Daqianmen, I believe that the vast majority of people have not heard of it.
Daqianmen This cigarette is produced by Shanghai Cigarette Factory, and it can be said that it was all the rage when it first appeared, but this cigarette only occupies the right time and place, not people.
Just because the state controlled cigarettes very strictly at that time, after all, cigarettes are harmful to the human body, and people who want to buy cigarettes need to be controlled, so there is a form of buying cigarettes with tickets.
It was also at this time that the big front door became popular, and it was very popular among smokers, and it is self-evident that it has a position among cigarettes.
Peony brand cigarettes are also from Shanghai, and this cigarette can be said to be specially designed for Shanghainese.
After a taste survey, it was found that Shanghainese people have a soft spot for smooth cigarettes, and Peony brand cigarettes are known for their smooth taste.
Some old smokers in Shanghai often talk about the "China" of cabbage prices, but they are actually talking about Peony brand cigarettes.
I don't know if you still remember the universe brand cigarettes, this cigarette has not yet appeared in the product and has begun to explode, and many people should still remember Mr. Ma Ji's performance in the Spring Festival Gala.
Among them, there are Universe brand cigarettes, and since then, there have been merchants who have registered this cigarette brand, and it has become bigger and bigger, and it is a very small high-end brand at that time.
At that time, the price of this cigarette was as high as two yuan a box, which did not seem expensive, but at that time, the salary of each worker was only a dozen yuan, so those who could buy a box of Universe brand cigarettes belonged to wealthy families.
However, this cigarette gradually declined due to price problems and slowly disappeared from the market.
In fact, at this time, the development of cigarettes began to accelerate, and many regions appeared cigarettes with their own local characteristics.
For example, the golden monkey cigarettes in Shaanxi, the golden monkey has different meanings for the province of Shaanxi, so the brand uses this as the keynote, and designs the image of the golden monkey on the cigarette box, which is liked by the public.
There are also Dadao brand cigarettes, which are also designed with the image of a machete, but this cigarette is rare, mainly because it is rarely sold and is usually intended for officials.
Therefore, the people who have smoked Laodao brand cigarettes are all revolutionary workers of the older generation, and there are also some cadres and people who have contributed to the country.
If you want to say that there are more famous cigarettes, it should be Henan, in addition to the above-mentioned Dadao brand cigarettes from Anyang, Henan, there are also Xuchang cigarettes.
If these two are not enough to make smokers familiar with them, then everyone must be familiar with scattered flowers.
Loose flower cigarettes come from Henan tobacco, when they first appeared, scattered flowers were once medium and high-end cigarettes, the price is not very expensive, but the specifications of the cigarettes are very high, and the design also makes the West like it very much.
Whenever someone in the hometown is doing a happy event, no matter in the downfall, they will also arrange scattered cigarettes, in the 90s, the vast majority of smokers have a soft spot for scattered cigarettes.
Smokers also speak highly of loose flower smoke, the fragrance is mellow, natural and pure, and there is a hint of spicy feeling after smoking, and many people can't put it down.
The development of cigarettes
When New China was first founded, the development of cigarettes had begun to take shape, just to take the simplest example, the development of the country can be seen from the Mango brand cigarettes.
At that time, the country was poor and white, and the level of production was also very low, but it had just been founded, and there were many countries that came to visit, and of course there were some sarcastic us.
Due to the low level of production in the country at that time, the food and clothing of the people had not been properly solved, and we could not guarantee the simplest fruits.
Once, when a foreign friend came to visit the mainland, he specially brought a box of mangoes, and the first thing the mainland leaders thought of was always the masses of the people, so they distributed these fruits to the workers.
But there are few fruits, and there are so many workers that most people don't want to take them, but many people are still curious about this exotic fruit.
Later, in order to make the majority of people aware of this fruit, a cigarette called mango was specially produced, and the shape of mango was designed on the cigarette box, and until now, this kind of cigarette is still on sale, and the price is very close to the people.
Many people who love mango cigarettes almost know about it, and every time they smoke, they think of the leaders who cared for the people and dedicated their hearts to the people.
Although mango brand cigarettes do not have the flavor of mango, it does not affect the market of this type of cigarette.
Since then, the development of cigarettes has officially entered the fast lane, and a series of mid-to-high-end brands have emerged, the most well-known of which is Zhonghua brand cigarettes.
Hearing this name, many people may be in awe, and the price of cigarettes is naturally not affordable for ordinary people.
In 1951, the brand of Chinese cigarettes was founded, and although the design was outdated, it still could not resist the love of smokers.
Some smokers around me often say, "Today is a luxury, we are engaged in China".
Since the development of the cigarette industry, many different styles and brands have been formed, some are named after regions, some are named after places of interest, and of course, some are named after different things.
Hongqiqu, Emgrand, Liqun, Yuxi, Lotus, Zhongnanhai, etc., are all popular tobacco brands now.
Nowadays, smoking seems to have become a kind of social interaction, and we can often see that some friends will always hand over a cigarette after meeting each other, and then negotiate for a long time.
At the dinner table, there will always be cigarettes on the plate, and it seems to be the same thing that people can't help but do, just like eating.
In addition, cigarettes have different values, in business activities, cigarettes can always play an effect, a cigarette often helps oneself to complete a business, make a good friend.
Now the types of cigarettes, can old smokers still recall those cigarette brands at the beginning?
