Experience of smoking Furongwang (Hard Blue New Version)

Light a cigarette (without crushing the burst bead) and take a gentle draw. The resistance is relatively high, with less smoke output. It doesn’t feel as full and rich as Hard Blue Wang, but the smoke is softer and more delicate. There’s no noticeable irritation as it passes through the nose and throat, offering low stimulation and decent comfort, though it lacks the smoothness of a seamless flow. The satisfaction upon reaching the lungs is somewhat lacking; it’s not very rich in flavor but does have a fairly clear taste.

In terms of aroma, the natural tobacco flavor is distinct but not strong. The fragrance profile is similar to that of Hard Blue Furongwang, though slightly lighter.

The taste when not crushing the burst bead is average, with decent quality, good consistency from start to finish, no harshness or impurities, and a clean aftertaste that feels comfortable.

When lighting a new cigarette (with the burst bead crushed), taking a gentle draw brings in a refreshing and sweet flavor. The sweetness is more pronounced compared to the Fine Yellow Furongwang with burst beads, and it blends well with the natural tobacco flavor, enhancing the aroma and improving the moistness for a more comfortable smoking experience.

Even after crushing the burst bead, there’s no noticeable roughness in the smoke, which is better than most cigarettes with burst beads.

Compared to the older version, the taste is significantly different. However, adding a burst bead seems to serve more as a selling point rather than a standout feature, as its flavor isn’t very distinctive.

Overall, the quality of the smoke and the flavor of the burst bead are fairly average. It’s comfortable to smoke, and I think it’s worth the price point.
