Yunyan Dazhongjiu Slim (云烟(细支大重九))
Dazhongjiu is the flagship of Yunnan tobacco, and this is its thin, modern edition — a 100 mm flue-cured slim at 8 mg with an easy draw, a clean returning sweetness and a faint fruit-and-wood note reviewers call almost cigar-like. Named for the 1911 Double-Ninth uprising. Below is the honest read: how it really smokes, who it fits, and what to check when it lands.

The slim wearing a century-old name
The name is older than almost any cigarette you can buy. On the ninth day of the ninth month in 1911, Cai E led the Double-Ninth uprising that ended Qing rule in Yunnan; a decade later a cigarette was created in Kunming to remember it, and ‘Great Double-Ninth’ has been climbing the Yunnan tobacco ladder ever since. Today it sits at the crown of the family, and this slim is its wearable, everyday form — the heritage rod thinned down for modern hands.
Be clear-eyed, though. Smokers on a Chinese tobacco community score its taste at roughly 6.8, its reputation near 6.3 and its looks about 6.2 out of ten — respectable, not spectacular. It is a heritage-first, gift-friendly premium slim that people genuinely argue about on value, and the honest reviews further down say exactly that, warts and all.

Those crowd scores come from a Chinese tobacco community, and they tell the real story: a well-liked, well-made slim rather than a runaway favourite. We would rather hand you that than pretend it is flawless.
What defines it — straight answer
So what actually defines it? A light Yunnan smoke that finishes sweet, with a pronounced sugary return on the tongue and that soft, almost-cigar fruit-and-timber note reviewers single out — all of it riding on a pull so effortless the filter half-disappears. Hongyun Honghe pitches a multi-stage flavouring craft around it, talking of honey, dried fruit and roasted nut worked into the leaf; that is the maker’s own language, unverified, so read it as marketing. What smokers agree on is that the smoke is fresh, smooth and fuller than a thin rod has any right to be.
And here is the part we refuse to fudge: a slim, low-tar cigarette is not a safer one. The 8 mg figure rides on little air holes bored into the filter that thin the smoke on a testing machine; in real life your fingers and lips seal some of them, so what reaches your lungs can be higher than the box promises. ‘Slim’ and ‘light’ are about the rod and the pull, not the danger. It harms you whatever the figure reads — plain and simple, no dressing it up.
How it smokes, start to finish
On lighting
The smoke comes in full and clean for so thin a stick — ‘baoman’, full, is the word reviewers reach for — with a sweet return building on the first draws.
Entry
Smooth and mellow, neither dry nor hot; it doesn’t bite the throat, and the pull is feather-easy for a slim.
The middle
Fresh floral-and-tea clarity over the leaf, with the fruit-stone and faint woody edge showing. A few smokers catch a slightly dry patch here.
The finish
Clean and quiet: the sweet return and light wood hold, and it burns quick without dragging out.
Throat
Gentle for most; opinions split, and a minority actually find it stronger than they expected.
Strength
Light overall — easy and low-irritation if that’s the point, a letdown if you want a real hit.
Room note
Mild and faintly sweet to the people around you rather than sharp — an easy one to pass around.
Palatability — what it’s really like
If you’re choosing this for the taste rather than the box, here’s the fuller picture. It’s a flue-cured Yunnan blend built for clarity, not weight — bright and lightly grain-sweet with a clear returning sweetness, closer to a fragrant, refined smoke than a rich, roasted or earthy one, and lifted by that soft fruit-stone-and-wood note. There’s no menthol chill and no capsule burst to swing the flavour mid-stick; what you get is a gentle, even fragrance from front to tail with a full body that’s unusual for a rod this thin.
“Rich aroma, full on entry, smooth the whole way, neither harsh nor hot, with a cigar-like fruity-woody note. Nothing wrong with it except the price.”
— a yanpk reviewer
“The slim genuinely tastes far better than the thick version; in this bracket, only this one and Tianye really hold their own.”
— a yanpk smoker
“Honestly, of the slims around this level, the two I find hardest to enjoy are the 95 and the Dazhongjiu.”
— a blunt yanpk reviewer
A few practical notes. Freshness matters more than with a fat rod — slims dry out faster, and a fresh stick is smoother and sweeter than a stale one, so keep unopened packs cool and dry and work through them rather than leaving a pack open for weeks. Ease each stick out gently too: a thin rod creases if you tug at the pack.
It pairs best with calm company — after a meal, with tea or a mild coffee, somewhere unhurried where the sweet return and floral clarity have room to show. Put it against a strong espresso or a whisky and it can feel like it vanishes. And because the sweetness is gentle and nothing pounds the same note all day, it doesn’t tire the palate the way a heavy menthol can — that quiet, repeatable ease, more than any one dramatic flavour, is why the people who love it keep it around.

Who loves it, and who won’t
You’ll love it if you’re a light or social smoker chasing something mellow, fragrant and kind to the throat — or if you’re buying a gift and want a pack that gives face, from a business thank-you to a festival visit with an elder. A century-old flagship name and a gold-and-blue box do a lot of quiet work there. It also suits fans of the light, clean Yunnan style and slim smokers who want more body and aroma than usual.
You won’t if you’re a heavy, pack-a-day smoker on strong regulars — like most slims it’ll read as an occasional treat, not a daily ration, and some will simply want a thicker rod. If you judge on value, know it takes real flak on cost, with reviewers calling it fine ‘except the price’ and a few rating its aroma below the slim Nanjing 95. We’d rather say so than have you order the wrong thing.
How it stacks up
vs the soft-pack or 9+1 Dazhongjiu: softer and more dressed-up, giving up some of the fat rod’s weight for that effortless slim pull — and several smokers reckon the thin one actually tastes cleaner. vs the mid-size mid-size: this gives up a little fullness for the thinner format. vs other premium slims: admirers pair it with the slim Huangjinye Tianye as the ones to beat, while sceptics lump it with the slim Nanjing 95 among the harder ones to love. Bought for the whole package as much as the puff.
When it lands: spotting a fake
It’s a premium, gift-grade pack, so fakes are out there — here’s a ten-second check. Everything we send is source-direct and factory-sealed, pack barcode 6901028312349 (carton 6901028312356), health warning and steel stamp intact. On a real one the yellow-gold printing is warm and even, not flat or greenish; the seals and micro-lines are crisp rather than burred or smudged; the rod measures a full 100 mm with a 25 mm ribbed filter; and the tobacco is an even, oily cut. Wrong length, a plain or off-colour tip, or muddy gold are red flags — and you can scan the pack code into Yunnan Tobacco’s own system if you’re unsure.
If customs holds it
Your parcel goes out in plain, unmarked packaging with full tracking — nothing on it names the brand, product, origin or quantity. We dispatch within 1–3 business days and most orders land in about 7–15 days; our typical customs-clearance rate runs around 95%. Tobacco is a controlled import almost everywhere, so duty and personal limits are on you and vary by country — no honest seller can promise a parcel is never checked. What we promise is bounded: should your first parcel to a destination be seized, notify us within 14 days with the official notice and you get one free reship — our
shipping & customs terms spell out what’s covered. You pay one clear price up front, with no surprise ‘insurance’ or ‘clearance’ fees.
Good to know
Is 8 mg too light for me?
If you smoke strong regulars, quite possibly — it’s a gentle slim and heavy smokers often call it soft. If you mostly smoke socially, or you want a clean, low-irritation smoke, that lightness is the whole appeal.
Is it a good cigarette to gift?
Yes — it’s built for it. A century-old flagship name tied to the 1911 uprising, plus the gold-and-blue box, make it a natural face-giving gift; heritage and presentation are its strongest cards.
Will it be fresh after shipping?
It ships factory-sealed by the carton. Keep unopened packs cool and dry and open them as you go — slims dry out faster than chunky regulars, and a fresh stick is noticeably smoother and sweeter.
How do I know it’s real?
Match pack barcode 6901028312349, check the warm even gold, the crisp seals and the full 100 mm rod with a 25 mm filter, and scan the code with Yunnan Tobacco — full checklist under ‘When it lands’ above.
