About LongLife
LongLife is Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation's flagship cigarette brand and, in the company's own words on its English-language corporate history page, "the most popular name in Taiwan cigarette products." It is the cigarette line TTL inherited from the earlier Taiwan tobacco monopoly and has continued to develop since the monopoly system's abolition and TTL's 2002 corporatisation, including through the addition of grooved filters, coconut-shell active-charcoal filters and other manufacturing upgrades described on the same page.

About the owner: TTL
TTL is a state-owned company headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, founded in 2002. Brandtree records 6 brands under its control.
Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation traces an unbroken line back to the Japanese colonial-era Taiwan Monopoly Bureau of 1898, through its postwar reorganisation as the Taiwan Province Tobacco and Wine Public Monopoly Bureau, to the abolition of Taiwan's tobacco and alcohol monopoly system on 1 January 2002 and the bureau's corporatisation as Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation, a joint-stock company, on 1 July 2002. It has been wholly owned by Taiwan's Ministry of Finance since the bureau was transferred to the central government on 1 July 1999. TTL still runs the beer and spirits business it inherited from the monopoly era through a dedicated Beer Division operating four breweries — in Taipei, Zhunan, Wuri and Shanhua — and an Alcoholic Beverages Division running nine distilleries, alongside tobacco, biotechnology and VINATA-branded cosmetics operations outside this dataset's scope.
