CTSIC is the first Chinese cigar maker to import high-quality tobacco from the world's top-grade cigar leaf producing re- gions including Brazil, Indonesia, and the Philippines. In producing its General ci- gars, CTSIC not only uses imported high- quality leaf but also applies large quanti- ties of high-quality leaf tobacco grown in China under its supervision. So far, the center has established exclusive high- quality growing bases in ecologically-fa- vorable regions across China, including Jilin, Hunan, Guangdong, and Sichuan provinces, which guarantees sufficient storage of high-quality leaf, and which also guarantees the long-term excellence and stability of the quality of its cigars. In keeping with its historical develop- ment, CTSIC created a brand-new cigar category, "fashionable cigars", such as General (Pansa) cigarillos, with a black super cool international edition double 10-cigarillo square box packaging which appears progressive and individualized. The eyes and the black tinge of the fluo- rescent leopard in the packaging create a strong visual effect. The matching of the cigar-colored body of the cigarillo with the golden short filter tip on it makes the entire cigarillo look luxurious, smooth, and all the more fashionable. Furthermore, since 2012 to improve both the influence and quality of its cigars, CTSIC cooperates with Turrent Tobacco Company of Mexico. So far, CTSIC has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Turrent on raw materials, technol- ogy, techniques, marketing, etc. Arising in the East, the cigar mak- ing sector of China's tobacco industry is getting things ready for a great leap for- ward.
