How to distinguish between real cigarettes and fake cigarettes? Please, great gods
a touch of cigarettes, whether soft or hard, is wrapped with a transparent film. When consumers buy cigarettes, the first contact is this layer of outer packaging. True cigarette: Plastic film is a special kind of film with smooth feel, good transparency and good gloss. This film is only used for cigarette packaging. When you open it and touch it, you will feel that this outer packaging film is thin and soft to the touch. Fake cigarettes: The general film is used, which has poor luster. When you look at the cigarette case through the film, you will feel poor transparency. When you touch it with your hands, you will feel that the film is thick and hard. Second, look at the identification from the color. Consumers who regularly smoke a cigarette should pay attention to comparing the colors of cigarette cases when buying cigarettes. If it is possible to buy cigarettes next time, you might as well take a really empty cigarette case with you. No matter how realistic the fake cigarette case is, there is still a color difference from the real cigarette case. Identify from cut tobacco. Some people mistakenly think that the yellower the cut tobacco is, the better the quality of cigarettes is. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. True tobacco: The cut tobacco of true tobacco is natural in color, with black in yellow. Generally, there are no untreated tobacco stems in cut tobacco, because untreated tobacco stems are not easy to burn and are easy to turn off. Regular manufacturers puffed tobacco stems during production. Fake cigarettes: In order to confuse consumers, sulfur is generally used to smoke tobacco leaves, and cut tobacco looks Huang Liang. Tobacco stems are often seen in fake cigarettes, so it is impossible for its manufacturers to make efforts to puffing tobacco stems, which is a special process and requires the purchase of high-end equipment. Identify from the soot. After smoking, the average consumer thinks it is good smoke when he sees that the ash is white. In fact, this is also a misunderstanding. In fact, the color of ash is affected by the dryness of tobacco leaves. When tobacco leaves are dry, ash is grayish white after burning, and vice versa, it is dark and difficult to suck. Judging from the ash, it is necessary to observe whether the tobacco stem is mixed in the tobacco during burning. When the tobacco stem appears, the cigarette will be difficult to smoke. Smoking cigarettes with three products is an effective means for consumers to identify the authenticity of cigarettes. The average consumer smokes a cigarette for a long time, and the taste suddenly changes greatly, so they may encounter fake cigarettes. True cigarette: the general formula is stable and the taste is stable. A variety of cigarettes in a regular tobacco factory has a particular choice of materials and a long-term formulation. Although the source of tobacco leaves may come from different parts of the country, the stability of taste can be guaranteed by comprehensive formula according to 4 grades of tobacco ingredients. Fake cigarettes: counterfeiters can't care about the taste. They can fool into cigarettes that are roughly similar. If they can exchange them for money, everything will be fine. It can also be said that fake cigarettes all taste the same. When it is difficult to identify the authenticity of cigarettes through the above methods, the most direct way is to open them! It is a more direct way to open the box and identify it from the adhesive way. Real cigarettes: The boxes are all mass-produced by machines. The glue on the machine is dot-shaped, and the glue on the two sides of the cigarette case is even, regular and fixed. For example, there are three fixed glue points on the side of each cigarette case, and the spacing of each glue point is equal, about 1 cm. Glue is applied to both sides of a pack of cigarette cases by dispensing glue. If you tear it open, you can see neat glue traces bit by bit, with a distance of 2-2.5 mm between the two points. The glue marks on both sides are also very symmetrical. Fake cigarettes: they are all glued manually and brushed with a brush. When disassembled, you can clearly see the traces of the brush, and the glue traces on both sides of the cigarette case are also asymmetric, which is very random. Anti-counterfeiting professionals say that unpacking cigarette cases is the most effective way to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood, which is applicable to all counterfeit cigarettes. Another way to identify after unpacking is to look at the lining paper. There is metallic platinum paper in each pack of cigarettes. After opening the cigarette case, you have to open the platinum paper to get the cigarette. Pay attention to it at the opening. The real cigarette platinum paper is only connected at two points, and the other parts are completely cut, so it is easy to open. When the fake cigarette platinum paper is pulled open, the middle is serrated, and the pulling place is rough and uneven. 1. "Hongtashan" According to the market spot check, in recent years, there are many counterfeit cigarettes, especially the famous brand "Hongtashan" cigarettes. The cigarette "Hongtashan" produced by Yuxi Tobacco Factory in Yunnan has four specifications: 84mm and 94mm hard box clamshell and 84mm and 94mm soft box. Market spot checks found that 84mm soft boxes were the most counterfeit products. The main identification points are as follows: 1. Strip packing: There are uniformly distributed colored fibers inside the strip packing and the hard box. In Chinese and English, the brand name of the strip is overprinted in red Phnom Penh, and the main pattern of "Hongtashan" is printed with golden peaks and clouds as a foil. In Chinese and English, "Produced by Yuxi Cigarette Factory in China" is marked in black regular script font. Recently, the product is pressed out with an anti-counterfeiting logo in the upper left corner. The picture is as follows: it is clearly visible when irradiated with strong light. The black bar code number on the bar is as follows: 84mm soft pack 1 (filter cigarette) 691284729 84mm hard pack 1 (hard pack filter cigarette) 691284763 94mm soft pack 1 (long soft pack filter cigarette) 691284743 94mm hard pack 1 (long hard pack) 69128475 "Hongtashan" products are produced by modern assembly line of winding, splicing and wrapping with international advanced level. Small packages and strips are packaged regularly, with clear lines, fixed external dimensions, small tolerance, firm adhesive joint, smooth and clean appearance, compact plastic oil seal packaging and high gloss, and the sealing is heated and bonded by machine, which is not easy to open. The drawstring is self-sealing glue. Except the 94mm hard box is straight, the other drawstrings (including 84mm hard box, soft box and 94mm soft box) are semi-circular, located on the Hongtashan side with Chinese pinyin, and pulled counterclockwise. There is a 2-mm-wide matte oil adhesive tape at all adhesive seals of the box, with three-point adhesive seals on the side and dotted lines at both ends. The fake "Hongtashan" cellophane has poor transparency and no luster. The cellophane is thicker than the real one, and there is a big gap between cellophane and the carton. Because the joint is glued, there are obvious wrinkles. It is easy to open the seal with a few hands, and the carton is irregularly sealed. Boxed: Gravure printing technology is adopted, and the fonts and patterns are clear and complete. The trademark is based on Hongtashan as the main pattern, with golden peaks and clouds as the background, with bright colors. The main pattern is printed in big red, and it is printed and overprinted in gold. The Chinese and English versions of Hongtashan are overprinted in red and gold, and the Chinese and English versions of China Yuxi Cigarette Factory are printed in gold standard font. The anti-counterfeiting emblem is printed on the upper left corner of the Chinese side of the soft package of recent products, which can produce the effect of ultraviolet photochromic. The hard bag is embossed with an anti-counterfeiting emblem in the center of the upper part, and the center of the pattern can produce the effect of ultraviolet photochromic. The "Phnom Penh" and "golden characters" in the pattern will show golden light under the irradiation of sunlight and light. On one side of the package, a black bar code is printed, with the serial number as follows: [JP] 84 mm soft package 691284826 84mm hard package 691284833 94mm soft package 69128484 94mm hard package 691284857 main pattern "Hongta Mountain", golden peaks and bar code line edges. Observe carefully with a magnifying glass. Counterfeit products either have no serrations in the corresponding parts, or the distance between serrations is much larger than the real ones. From the perspective of packaging technology, when opening the cigarette label (the small sealing strip on the upper part of each pack of cigarettes, which is called "mouth flower" in some places), you can see the traces of two longitudinally thin adhesives, while the traces of adhesion are often one after the counterfeit cigarettes tear the cigarette label. The sequence of cigarettes is 7, 6 and 7. The adhesive sealing of genuine soft box packaging is characterized by a three-stage glue line, the upper one is short, the middle one is long and the lower one is long, and fake cigarettes are often a random line. The adhesive seal of the genuine hard box is an 8mm wide five-point dot-matrix glue mark, while the fake cigarette is irregular and flaky. There is a five-point dot-matrix glue mark before and after the genuine aluminum foil paper is glued to the small box, and the fake cigarette is irregular. There is always a black cursor on the back of the cigarette label, which is used by the machine that packs 5 boxes of cigarettes per minute to automatically identify and cut off the cigarette label. Some genuine products "Hongtashan" also have no cursor behind the cigarette label, so this item is only used as a reference criterion. Note: The 2 cigarettes of "Hongtashan" with four specifications in aluminum foil paper are all horizontally packaged, and all vertically packaged cigarettes are fake cigarettes. In addition, for the 2 cigarettes in four specifications, the joint direction of imported general anesthesia thread paper used for cigarette rolling must be up and down, that is, the joint direction of cigarette paper must be up and down among the 2 cigarettes. There is only one direction of cigarette wrapping paper in a box of cigarettes, which is fake cigarettes. Aluminum foil paper: The genuine "Hongtashan" uses imported aluminum foil paper, which is white and neat in color, while the fake aluminum foil paper is black and yellow in color. Cigarettes: Cigarettes are rolled with general anesthesia thread paper, and the connectors are snowflake point pattern tipping paper with English letters "YXCF" printed on them, with clear handwriting. The factory standard YXCF on the general anesthesia thread cigarette paper has no thread on it, and the font is broken. All the YXCF threads on cigarettes, or the fonts are continuously opened, are fakes. There is YXCF factory logo on the filter, and the yellow skin of the filter is torn off. On the tipping paper in the middle of the filter, there are small holes with a width of 4mm evenly distributed. The genuine "Hongtashan" cigarette and filter are naturally and tightly joined, with the same length and thickness, and the steel seal printed on the cigarette is in the same position and direction. The font is 2mm high and 1mm wide, and uniform, while the fake font is mixed in height, width, position and direction. Although the length of cigarettes is generally the same, the thickness is often different. The cut tobacco at the joint between the filter and cigarettes is often loose, and the yellow wrapping paper of the filter is consistent in length, but the filter rods inside are often uneven in length, mostly shorter than the real ones. The genuine "Hongtashan" has full cigarettes, moderate elasticity, smooth and clean surface, firm joint adhesion, even incision, clear and complete gold Chinese brand name steel seal and red English steel seal, red Arabic numeral code printed at the joint of cigarettes, and the handwriting of fake cigarettes is often unclear. Cut tobacco: The genuine "Hongtashan" cut tobacco is slender and even, with golden or orange color, glossy and oily, and no stalk. There is a certain proportion of expanded cut tobacco in cut tobacco, which is elastic when pressed, dry without mildew, and does not turn off when smoking. The color of cut tobacco of fake cigarettes is dark, black or red, and it has no oiliness and elasticity when pressed, indicating that there is no certain proportion of expanded cut tobacco, and some fake cigarettes have too many expanded cut tobacco, even mixed with cut tobacco heads and cut tobacco pieces. In addition to the appearance, the most important identification of cigarettes is the internal quality identification. That is, according to the color, fragrance and taste of cigarettes, the authenticity is judged. The genuine "Hongtashan" cut tobacco is golden in color, glossy and oily, rich in aroma, harmonious and pure. It is prepared with special spices, with moderate strength, smooth throat, pure and comfortable aftertaste, and has a typical style of Yunyan. The counterfeit "Hongtashan" cut tobacco is finely divided and mixed in color, and some cut tobacco is dyed or mildewed. When smoking, it has peculiar smell: spicy, musty, earthy or peculiar smell of special spices, and it is easy to turn off the flame, which does not have the typical style of Yunyan "Hongtashan". The identification method of Hongtashan cigarette introduced above is also applicable to other products such as Yuxi, Ashima, Shilin and Hongmei produced by Yuxi Cigarette Factory in China. When making cigarette identification, consumers should make a comprehensive judgment, and make a correct judgment according to various aspects such as strip, box, cigarette, cut tobacco, color, fragrance and taste.
