江苏中烟工业有限责任公司
The "南京" (Nanjing) brand of cigarettes first emerged during the Republic of China period from the "Guangming Brothers Tobacco Factory" in Nanjing. In 1956, the state-private joint venture—Qinfeng Tobacco Factory—produced the second generation of "南京." This brand features soft packaging with a bright red background adorned with yellow wavy lines, and its main design is a circular emblem with a stylized representation of the characters "南京." The combination of the Yangtze River and local place names officially began with this generation, establishing the brand's regional character. In 1968, after the completion of the Yangtze River Bridge, the state-owned Nanjing Cigarette Factory launched the third generation of "南京." In 1982, it was further improved to introduce the fourth generation. The truly widely accepted and recognized brand in the market belongs to the fifth generation of "南京," launched by the Nanjing Cigarette Factory in the 1990s.
“南京”牌香烟最早诞生于中华民国时期的南京“光明兄弟烟厂”。1956年，公私合营企业——勤丰烟厂生产的“南京”为第二代。该品牌为软包装，大红底面配有黄线波浪纹，主图案为“南京”两字变形设计的圆状标识。长江与地名的混合使用正式肇始于这一代，并奠定了该品牌的地方性色彩。1968年，国营南京卷烟厂在长江大桥建成通车后推出的“南京”为第三代。1982年又改进推出了第四代。真正被市场广泛接受和认可的行业知名品牌属于南京卷烟厂于九十年代推出的第五代“南京”品牌。
