Description:
„"Mars Menthol" is one of those Polish cigarette brands that tried to shape the image of a Western product on the domestic market. The pack is characterized by a metallic greenish gradient - lighter on top, richer green on the bottom. The large letter "M" with the inscription clearly dominates in the center. Mars, under it – Menthol. The design is simple but visually appealing, modern for the time. The packaging states that these are filter cigarettes (filter cigarettes), plasticized, with a visible Polish excise stamp.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. The Mars brand is not international and does not have a lot of awareness, but the menthol variant packets, especially in excellent condition, are prized by specific collectors who collect regional or flavored editions.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, original plastic packaging, there are a few rust/stain spots on the plastic (most likely from storage), but overall condition is good.
-
Historical data and popularity: Mars cigarettes were produced for the Polish market, but did not become more widely available. Due to the EU's menthol ban (since 2020), these packs are becoming increasingly rare.
