CROWN CIGAR CHINA

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=6349264433

This is a machine made, short filler, green wrapper cigar made in Anhui Province, China. Basically it seems like left over cigarette tobacco stuffed into an inadequate bitter wrapper that breaks down too easily. It smokes HOT and must be constantly relit. The ash is constantly falling off and burning holes in shirts, trousers and furniture. Although China does produce other cigars for export, the above is the only cigar sold in some, but not all provinces of China. It is the only cigar sold via the Chinese internet.

It comes 10 cigars to one plastic box. Quality control is definitely lacking. Too often the cigars are old, dry, stale, cracked etc.

However, at 3.5 yuan each (US$.18) yes 18 pennies each, they are better than nothing.

China’s state owned tobacco monopoly has no incentive to improve the product. The government has a high duty on imported cigars for commercial resale. It is reported that the duty applies to more than 100 imported cigars per month.

There is no other choice if you want to buy a Chinese made cigar in China.

WHY CIGARS?

Prior to the Victorian era men and women alike smoked cigars around the globe. In the Victorian Era that all changed. Women smoking cigars was frowned upon because it was thought unladylike for a woman to have a phalic symbol hanging from her lips.

After WW II the cigar small (ette) cigarette was developed for the female market.  Due to added chemicals for nicotine enhancement, men also took up cigarettes.  It became fashionable for women to smoke cigars again shortly after Demi Moore was featured on the cover of Cigar Afficianado Magazine

DO NOT INHALE!

When I first moved to China in 2002  to teach Global Marketing, I did some advance research and knew that in Central China the custom was to gan bei rice wine with lunch and dinner. (Like downing a shot of vodka every few minutes while eating)

For medical reasons I cannot consume alcohol. But in China if you cannot gan bei then you are not a man. I knew this was coming my way so I stuffed a handful of western Churchills into my vest pocket.  When I declined the rice wine invitation and offered my excuse, I was hit with “You are not a man.”  So I explained the history of cigarettes as being developed for women and suggested that my hosts were wimps or wusseys for smoking a woman’s cigarette. (You can see this freight train coming from a mile away)

Each accepted my offered Churchill, lit up and started inhaling. No one took more than a couple of hits before putting their cigar in the cigarette water bowl. What a waste of a good Churchill! Interesting to watch yellow people turn green!

I finished my Chiurchill to the absolute amazement of my hosts. Word got around about the foreigner and never again was I asked to gan bei.

QUESTION: China can catch up with the developed world but can it do it while maintaining a Government monopoly?
