Description:
This pack is distinguished by its classic, clean design with a silver top and green lettering. The name states „Menthol“ and the „Silver“ label is also visible, indicating that it is a milder version of menthol. On the front and back are the warnings about the harm of smoking that were used in Lithuania at that time, with the phrases „Smoking causes a deadly disease – lung cancer“ and „Smoking is very harmful to you and those around you“. Also preserved Lithuanian excise stamp with price – 3.55 LTL, indicating the period before the introduction of the euro. Based on the barcode and style features, it can be assumed that this was an economy class product on the Lithuanian market.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. This pack is not an anniversary or limited edition, but because it was intended only for the Lithuanian market, and the Lithuanian language labeling has not been produced for more than a decade, it has nostalgic and historical value.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, original protective film and excise stamp preserved. Excellent collectible condition.
-
Historical data and popularity: Cristal was a fairly popular brand among budget cigarette buyers in Lithuania in the 2000s. This pack marks the pre-euro and pre-stricter warning standards period.
