Our brand has a history of over 100 years. The first tobacco shop was opened in 1918 and I'm delighted to be able to introduce our cigars to you today.\u201c - \u201e100 years, that's impressive!\u201c I say in amazement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201eYes, and we have a wide selection. Look, here are our four series. Some people may think that Chinese cigars are made from Chinese tobacco. But that's not quite true. We use tobaccos from all over the world, including Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Brazil and, of course, China.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/alex_huang_export_business_supervisor_great_wall_cigars.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/alex_huang_export_business_supervisor_great_wall_cigars.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/alex_huang_export_business_supervisor_great_wall_cigars-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/alex_huang_export_business_supervisor_great_wall_cigars-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex Huang explains Great Wall Cigars to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mao-hat-serie-2-ausgewahlt\">Mao has selected series 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am impressed. \u201eThat sounds exciting! I see very different cigars here. Tell me more about the different series.\u201c - \u201eOf course! Our top series is the G series. These are hand-rolled premium cigars that stand for special occasions in China. Then we have the 132 series, which got its name from a team in the 1960s that made cigars especially for Chinese leaders like Mao Zedong. Mao chose series 2, and the combination of 1 and 3 for other statesmen resulted in the 132 series.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cleanes_design_bei_humidoren.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cleanes_design_bei_humidoren.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cleanes_design_bei_humidoren-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cleanes_design_bei_humidoren-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201eWow, that's an interesting background story. And what's the international series all about?\u201c I want to know.  - \u201eThe international series is a collaboration with companies like Tabacalera. We want to conquer the global market, especially the European market. Our latest series is the Flourishing Age series, which is aimed particularly at cigar beginners. It has a milder flavour and is more attractively priced.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ueber_luxurioese_zigarren_aus_china.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ueber_luxurioese_zigarren_aus_china.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ueber_luxurioese_zigarren_aus_china-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ueber_luxurioese_zigarren_aus_china-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-europa-ist-ein-wichtiger-schritt\">Europe is an important step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201eI have to say, this packaging looks great too. Is this the latest edition?\u201c - \u201eYes, this is our latest release, GL number 2, and comes in a white jar. It was delivered this year and is particularly rich in flavours. These cigars have a long tradition and we are very proud of them.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201eThat all sounds very good. I wonder what the situation is with your market in Europe. Are you already here or are you working on establishing yourselves here?\u201c Alex enlightens me: \u201eThe European market is an important step for us. We have made great progress in China in recent years and are now ready to explore the market here. We have already held initial talks with European retailers and hope that our cigars will become better known in Europe over the next few years.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/die_verschiedenen_linien_von_great_wall_cigars.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/die_verschiedenen_linien_von_great_wall_cigars.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/die_verschiedenen_linien_von_great_wall_cigars-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/die_verschiedenen_linien_von_great_wall_cigars-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201eThat sounds like an ambitious plan.
