MaoDa cigar is a new product developed by Wuhan Tobacco (Group) Co., Ltd. and British American Tobacco Company, its brand originated from the Yichang Maoda Cigarette Leaf Factory in 1899, carefully blended by British American Tobacco's senior formulators, with smooth taste, mild aroma, cool smoke and smooth smoking, fully embodying the noble, authoritative, sexy and romantic cigar mood.
"Maoda" is the only domestic high-end cigar brand in China, shouldering the important task of revitalizing the national brand.
As if it stood out, "Maoda Cigar" not only won the hearts of the Chinese people with its excellent quality, but also became the only domestic product that was comparable to foreign tobacco at that time, and was exported to Japan and the United States, enjoying a good reputation at home and abroad.
In 2004, sponsored by the Market Information Center of People's Daily, co-organized by the China Enterprise Culture Promotion Association, and co-organized by 100 industry associations such as the China National Textile and Apparel Council and the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, "Maoda Cigar" was rated as "China's No. 1 Cigar Brand". Since then, the brand awareness of "Maoda Cigars" has increased rapidly, and the sales of hand-rolled cigars have increased significantly.
Nowadays, "Maoda Cigar" has a good market reputation and a certain popularity. However, if "Maoda Cigar" wants to become "China's No. 1 cigar brand", it needs to increase its efforts in raw material supply, production technology, R&D and production, and brand competitiveness. To this end, Hubei China Tobacco Cigar Branch has formulated a development strategy that focuses on cultivating the "Maoda Cigar" hand-rolled cigar brand, increasing the R&D and market expansion of hand-rolled cigars, and improving the brand awareness of "Maoda Cigars", in order to meet the needs of consumers, it focuses on the research and development of "Maoda wooden mouth cigars (hand-rolled cigars)" with a retail price of 3 yuan/piece, 80 yuan/piece, 100 yuan/piece, and 300 yuan/piece of Maoda hand-rolled cigars. On December 14, 2009, Hubei China Tobacco and its international trading partner Yinbei International Co., Ltd. held a grand departure ceremony for the export of Hubei cigars to the United Arab Emirates at the Yichang Three Gorges Tobacco Factory. This is a major historic breakthrough for the Hubei cigar project and even for China's domestic cigar industry. "Maoda Cigar", "Three Gorges Cigar" and other Hubei high-end domestic cigar brands have gone abroad, and handed the glorious business card of Chinese cigar brands to the world.
