Description: „The “Pogonu„ cigarette pack features a uniquely old-fashioned design with heraldic and decorative elements. The font style, emblem and color scheme – gray, cream and gold – are typical of products manufactured in the Balkans in the second half of the 20th century. An ornamental motif is visible in the upper part of the pack, and in the center – a shield with a stylized letter composition. The pack is originally sealed, with a clear name on the side in Cyrillic (“Погону”), which indicates the local market.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. This pack was not mass exported, so it remains rare outside the former Yugoslavia. Interesting for collectors specializing in Eastern European and socialist bloc tobacco production.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, very good condition (foil intact, minor signs of storage visible, but overall appearance neat).
-
Historical data and popularity: The design and style of this pack date back to socialist Yugoslavia, when there were many regional brands adapted for the domestic market. Although Pogonu is not internationally known, its vintage and authentic design adds to its collectible value.
