Description:
This pack of "NORD" cigarettes is a typical example of the socialist period design, made in Poland, with the characteristic blue color, red circle and large inscription "NORD". The text in Polish indicates that the cigarettes have a filter ("20 papierosów z filtrem"). The state excise stamp at the top with the inscription "AUGUSTÓW" indicates the factory or region where the cigarettes were produced. This is a well-preserved example, interesting for collectors interested in the history of Eastern European smoking.
