Description:
This West Lights BIG BOX pack is a variation of the classic West design for the Italian market. The pack features a light, grey-white background with horizontal lines and a red-gold accent. The BIG BOX indicates that this is an unusual pack of 25 cigarettes (standard – 20), while the Lights indicate a lower strength cigarette. The pack contains Italian warnings about the harm of smoking (e.g. „Nuoce gravemente alla salute“ – „Seriously harmful to health“), as well as a reference to the law (Art. 46 L. 23/12/1978). The pack is Italian excise-registered and in excellent condition.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. Although West is a well-known brand and there are many pack variations, this BIG BOX edition of 25 cigarettes is rarer than the usual 20-pack edition. The Italian market and condition also add value.
-
Condition assessment: Excellent - undamaged, with original film and excise stamp.
-
Historical data and popularity: „"West" packages, especially for specific countries with their legal warnings, have a thematic collector's value. "BIG BOX" editions are smaller in circulation and therefore more valuable than standard ones.
