Description: „The pack of Leningrad cigarettes has a classic and strict design, typical of Russian production of the post-Soviet era. The dominant white color, blue top and red-gold details convey an official, almost heraldic image. The stylistics of the city's coat of arms are clearly visible on the pack, and the manufacturer - "Neva Tabak", indicates a connection with the history of St. Petersburg. The pack also has old Russian excise stamps, which indicates that the pack is intended for the local market before the introduction of strict EU-style warnings.
