Historical data and popularity:
“The Taishan brand is widely known in China (especially in Shandong province), but internationally it is not among the prestigious or sought-after collector brands such as Huanghelou or Chungwa. The General variant is a medium strength (12-13 mg), produced for everyday consumption, not as a premium series.
