Xiamen - Fujian Provincial China Tobacco Industry Corp. held a ceremony in the city of Xiamen to inaugurate its International Golden Bridge as a new high-grade blend-type cigarette product with Chinese characteristics. With a retail price of 23 yuan (US$2.90) per packet, International Golden Bridge is made from 16 high-quality leaf tobacco products from around the world, in addition to high-grade leaf tobacco grown in Atlantic regions. International Golden Bridge is of reduced harm, with a lower content of tar and nicotine, and with a unique rich flavor. The brand uses a whole gunny-cloth creped paper as the wrap, which is advantageous to sufficient burning of cut tobacco and reducing the generation of harmful substances in smoking. In an address at the inaugural ceremony, the general manager of Fujian Provincial China Tobacco Industry Corp. said the company is striving to turn International Golden Bridge into a representative product of Chinese-style blend-type cigarettes, in efforts to successfully compete against foreign tobacco products on the domestic market.
