Description:
This is a minimalist design menthol cigarette pack, distinguished by a light pearlescent color scheme, bluish floral elements and elegant font. The packaging clearly states: „"NOT FOR SALE"“ – this means that this unit was intended only for for free samples, promotional or test distribution. This is an extremely important aspect for collectors, as such packs often had a smaller circulation and never entered the mass market. The packaging is menthol-flavored, which also increases its value in the collection (due to the EU menthol ban from 2020).
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: High. This promotional non-commercial item, which is often valued even higher than the usual packs sold. At the same time, these are menthol cigarettes, which are currently considered an extinct product on the EU market. The design retains a subtle "feminine" style, which is also attributed to a niche market segment (women's cigarettes).
-
Condition assessment: Excellent. The package is intact, with the original film, visible barcode, and a clear warning about non-commercial use.
-
Historical data and popularity: This Iris edition is not easily found even among collectors. "NIE DO SPRZEDAŻY" versions often go through internal marketing departments, kiosks as test runs, so they are survival to this day is very limited.
