<strong>DFS Launches First Organic Chinese Cigarette at Changi Airport Stores</strong>

China International Duty Free (CIDF), which specialises in the marketing and distribution of Chinese brands in travel retail, has launched what it hails as the first organic Chinese cigarette in DFS stores at Singapore Changi Airport.

Made from organic tobacco leaves grown at The Manor in Yuxi town in China's Yunnan province, the eponymous Yuxi Manor brand of premium cigarettes uses natural materials and is packaged by hand.

The cigarette carton features a sketch of The Manor and its surrounding area by a famous Chinese artist, and each pack contains 16 cigarettes. The cigarettes are presented in two rows of eight – the number eight is considered an auspicious number in China, making the product suitable for gifting, said CIDF.

Available at exclusive retail outlets in China for many years, Yuxi Manor was launched in DFS stores at Changi today following a successful trial launch at Hong Kong International Airport. Enditem
