The zodiac culture, as a significant carrier of China’s outstanding traditional culture, embodies the historical memory and spiritual symbolism of the nation. Great Wall Cigar, adhering to the philosophy of “Inheriting Craftsmanship, Innovating Expression,” integrates this profound cultural imagery into the creation of premium cigars, launching a limited-edition masterpiece, Great Wall (Year of the Snake · Coiled Snake Limited Edition).

This cigar is handcrafted by four national-level cigar craftsmanship masters under the “Vast Moon, Eternal Spring” banner, with a global limited release of 2,025 boxes. Unlike the zodiac cigars launched in mainland China, this is the first coiled snake cigar released by Great Wall Cigar.

The cigar box features a classic layered design with inner and outer boxes. The outer box adopts a striking red and gold color scheme, centered around the design theme of “Golden Snake Wandering Through Clouds”. The intricate snake pattern is rendered with gold foil stamping, its sinuous and flowing form exuding dynamism, coiling around the box to create a visually stunning sense of refinement and prestige. The golden snake motif not only serves as a visual focal point but also engages in a cross-layered design dialogue with the coiled form of the cigars in the inner box.

The inner box is crafted from premium Spanish cedar wood, known for its exceptional humidity retention and moisture resistance. The natural aromatic molecules in the wood gently permeate the cigars, subtly enhancing the complexity and balance of their aroma without overshadowing the inherent flavor of the tobacco. This elevates the overall smoking experience, adding layers and depth.
