Hongta Group in southwest China's tobacco-producing Yunnan Province - one of the largest tobacco manufacturers in China - held a series of high-profile ceremonies in 11 major Chinese cities on September 1-6 to present to domestic markets an organic cigarette product of its time-honored Yuxi brand family, known as Yuxi (Manor).

Yuxi (Manor) is the first organic cigarette product of China. The Chinese cities where Yuxi (Manor) is available now include Shenyang, Guangzhou, Nanning, Chengdu, Dalian, Zhengzhou, Nanjing, Erdos, Tianjin and Kunming. Since its debut, Yuxi (Manor) has been well received by high-end consumers. Developed on the basis of a new core formula using organic leaf tobacco, Yuxi (Manor) is of three most remarkable characteristics. Firstly, it uses exclusive organic leaf tobacco. Secondly, it is highly aromatic and less harmful. And thirdly, it is of a small annual output. Besides, the cigarette paper and tipping paper for making Yuxi (Manor) are both printed with water-based inks, without any hot-stamping, which makes cigarette smoking less harmful. Both the packets and cartons of Yuxi (Manor) are made from full natural pulp paper, without bleaching and chemical coating. The water-based inks for printing the packaging of Yuxi (Manor) is in very small quantities. Hongta Group is the first Chinese tobacco manufacturer to use food-grade degradable and environment-friendly new materials without metal coating as the inner lining paper of cigarette packaging, which well embodies the designing idea of being ecological, environment-friendly and safe.
