Description:
„"Zefir Mentolowe" is a classic Polish menthol-flavored cigarette pack, aimed at consumers looking for a fresher alternative. The pack design is minimalistic but clearly recognizable: a greenish-mint background, white and burgundy accents, and the name "zefir" highlighted in the center.

The label "z filtrem acetatowym" indicates that the cigarettes are with an acetate filter.
