Description:
„Embassy Kings is a classic British cigarette pack, manufactured under license in Ghana. The front clearly shows the double stripe design (red and dark brown), the gold crest at the top and the Embassy logo with the word "Kings" at the bottom. The back states that the pack was made in Ghana under license from Imperial Tobacco (UK) – making it an exceptional and quite rare specimen not intended for the European market. Visually, the package is slightly damaged – the plastic shows signs of aging and mold, but is undamaged and unopened.

Value assessment:

  • Collectible value: Higher than average – due to the unusual country of production (Ghana) and the transfer of a licensed British brand to local production.

  • Condition assessment: Unopened, but visible mold/oxidation spots on the surface - reduces aesthetic value, but not collector's authenticity.

  • Historical data and popularity:
    „Embassy was one of the most popular UK cigarette brands in the second half of the 20th century, manufactured by Imperial Tobacco. Exports to Africa (Ghana, Nigeria) took place in the 1980s and later, with limited local production in licensed countries. This type of specimen is of particular interest to collectors seeking to collect geographical variations of Imperial Tobacco releases.
