I just breathe the air

Used to smoke Zhong Nan Hai too, but frankly, they're all crap.
I'm a happy ex smoker since 1 year.
I usually smoke some type of Huang He Lou... its funny I actually only smoke when I am in China,,, partially cause Cigarettes are cheaper here than back in the States and it helps with some stress now and then
I smoke zhong nan hai myself. Why is that? Why do so many expats smoke zhong nan hai? Weird.
mArtiAn:
I think it's 'cause they look and taste a little like Marlboro Lights.
Mr_spoon:
It's because they actually taste like tobacco, they don't have those god damned flower flavors. Ugh.
In Hebei I smoked red diamond 'Hong Zuan'
Now I am in Yunnan and I can't get them here. In three years they were the only brand I found that I liked.. I get my friend in Hebei to mail them to me here.
Is is weird I actually like Chinese cigarettes better than the States (except for Lucky Strikes, my all time favorite except they are expensive)
Zhongnanhai are the most acceptable cigs I've smoked in China.
Golden Bridge (Jin Qiao) are also pretty good.
The rest is just flavored cigarettes that have this godawful aftertaste.
Sept Wolves (the red and gold package - 15 RMB). There are cheaper versions (anywhere from 6 RMB up to 35, but the red and gold packs are the best).
septwolves blue pack, 7rmb, sometimes 8.
only smoking them for a bit longer then im getting online rolling tobaco.
million years ago smoked Dunhill.... blue package,, not the reds. Bet I haven't sucked a cig in 20 years! Yay me :-p
Damn, that would have paid for a 
good escort to share a cigarette with.
Back in South Africa my favourite was Peter Steyvesant and in Hong Kong I like Marlboro. Here in the mainland I smoken General but I quit a couple of months ago so I am very proud to say that I am now a non smoker.
