Nanjing Cigarette Factory in east China's Jiangsu Province - one of the
36 key Chinese tobacco manufacturers designated by the State Tobacco
Monopoly Administration (STMA) - has developed a type of orange-flavored
women's cigarettes, filling a gap in the development of fruit-flavored
women's cigarettes in China.

On April 8, high-grade Qicaimengdu (Colorful Dream Capital) brand
orange-flavored women's cigarettes went on markets in Jiangsu and other
Chinese regions.

Except Qicaimengdu, women's cigarettes on sales in China are all
imported brands and are mostly blend-type cigarettes.

In developing Qicaimengdu, the technical staff of Nanjing Cigarette
Factory focused on researching formulas of leaf tobacco for making
women's cigarettes, and carefully chose delicately fragrant leaf tobacco
from famous Chinese tobacco-producing regions as the raw material for
making the organ-flavored cigarettes, which are mild, gentle and
delicate in conformity with the demand of women smokers.

Qicaimengdu is of natural fruit flavors, mainly the orange flavor, and
is reinforced with appropriate mint flavor, making the mouth feel
comfortable and cool.

Qicaimengdu is manufactured with the world's first-rate HXD cut tobacco
expansion technology and unique processing technology, and with grooved
filter tips and highly permeable tipping paper imported from France,
which contribute to effectively lowering the content of tar and carbon
monoxide in cigarette smoke and making smoking safer.

The packaging of Qicaimengdu is mainly of the warm color of orange
featuring delight, leisure, ease and comfortableness, with the image of
the tall television transmission tower in Shanghai, known as the
Oriental Pearl, as the theme of the Qicaimengdu brand family. Enditem
