If you grew up with 中华, 黄鹤楼 or 芙蓉王, the names on an English-language shop can be hard to match to the pack you know. This guide lists every Chinese cigarette brand we carry in Australia with its Chinese name, the maker, the nickname people actually use, and what the size and tar figures on the pack mean. It also covers the Japanese and Korean capsule cigarettes (外烟 / 爆珠烟) such as Marlboro, Mevius and ESSE.

中文简介：这篇文章整理了 Puffside 在澳洲（澳大利亚）列出的中国香烟品牌和日韩外烟：中华、黄鹤楼、芙蓉王、玉溪、利群、南京、云烟大重九、熊猫、红双喜、中南海、苏烟，以及万宝路爆珠、七星、爱喜等。每个品牌都附上中文名、俗称（比如白塔、蓝楼、黑利、小苏、金钗）、规格（常规、中支、细支）和焦油烟碱数字，方便在悉尼、墨尔本、布里斯班等地的华人对照英文商品名找到想要的烟。

Nicknames: 白塔, 蓝楼, 黑利 and the rest (香烟俗称对照)

Regular, mid-slim and slim: 常规、中支、细支

Chinese packs come in three widths, and the same brand often makes all three:

  • Regular 常规 (粗支): about 84 mm long, the standard width. Most everyday packs, such as Furongwang, Yuxi and Double Happiness.
  • Mid-slim 中支: about 89 to 90 mm and narrower. Chunghwa Double Mid-Slim, Chunghwa Gold Mid-Slim, Panda Collection and Xiao Chongjiu are all mid-slims.
  • Slim 细支: about 90 to 97 mm and thinner again. Nanjing Xuanhemen, Huanghelou 1916 Slim and the Twelve Hairpins packs are slims.

Slimmer packs usually print lower tar figures. That does not make them safer: smokers tend to draw harder on lower-yield cigarettes. We explain why in Health Effects of Smoking in Australia.

Everyday, classic and premium packs (日常、经典、高端)

  • Everyday 日常口粮: Double Happiness 红双喜, Septwolves 七匹狼, Zhongnanhai 中南海, Hongtashan 红塔山, Yunyan Purple 紫云.
  • Classic 经典: Huanghelou Hard Blue 蓝楼, Liqun 利群, Furongwang 芙蓉王, Yuxi 玉溪, Suyan 苏烟, Nanjing 南京.
  • Premium and gift packs 高端 / 送礼: Chunghwa 中华, Panda 熊猫, Huanghelou 1916, Dachongjiu 大重九, He Tianxia 和天下, Tianye 天叶, Jiuwu 九五至尊, and the collector packs such as Huanghelou 15 Gold Brick 金砖15年 and the 50-stick Tiandi Longlin 天地龙鳞 tin.

Imported capsule cigarettes: 万宝路爆珠, 七星, 爱喜 (外烟 / 爆珠烟)

Our Imported Cigarettes are mostly Japanese and Korean editions with a flavour capsule (爆珠) in the filter that you crush to change the taste:

Brand Chinese name Examples
Marlboro 万宝路 Ice Blast 黑冰, W-Burst 薄荷双爆, Tropical Splash 热带水果双爆, Double Fusion Summer 西瓜
Mevius 七星 Option Purple 5 蓝莓, Option Yellow 5 柠檬
ESSE 爱喜 Change 4mg, Double Shot, Applemint & Wine 红酒
Black Jack Supa Sawa Supasawa Pineapple 菠萝, Mango 芒果, Grapefruit 西柚
Peel peel Greek Yogurt 酸奶, Red Wine 红酒, Splash Grape 葡萄
Raison 铁塔猫 French Line Grape 烟花葡萄

Reading the numbers on a Chinese pack (焦油、烟碱、一氧化碳)

Chinese packs print three figures per cigarette: tar 焦油, nicotine 烟碱 and carbon monoxide 一氧化碳, for example 10 mg / 0.9 mg / 10 mg on Chunghwa Double Mid-Slim. Japanese and Korean packs print tar and nicotine only. Australian packs stopped showing these figures in 2006. We list them on every product page, but they are machine-test results, not a guide to how harmful a cigarette is.
