I smoke Marlboros here in Singapore and smoke either Chunghwa or Pandas in China.

I can tell you that there is a quality difference. Chunghwa and Pandas are flavorful and VERY smooth down compared to its western counterparts.

Of course, this is just my own experience.

These cigarettes are also status symbols and used as gifts and bribes.

Oh, there are fakes too.
