Description:
CARO is a Polish cigarette brand produced by Zakłady Przemysłu Tytoniowego (Tobacco Industry Enterprises). This orange soft pack has a simple but recognizable design - the CARO logo is prominently displayed in the center and the inscription "z dopływnym filtrem" (with double filter), emphasizing the uniqueness of the product. The original film with a security strip remains on the top of the pack. On the bottom side there is a warning about the harm of smoking, typical of the post-communist period.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Medium–High. Old Polish packages of this type are not easy to find, and their condition – intact, unopened, in original packaging – significantly increases their value among collectors.
-
Condition assessment: Excellent – the package appears intact, unopened, and has retained its original shape.
-
Historical data and popularity: CARO was one of the more affordable cigarette brands in Poland in the second half of the 20th century. Due to its prevalence at the time, it evokes nostalgia among older collectors. The mention of a double filter is an additional element of rarity.
