Description:
This is a bright, elegantly designed Kent cigarette pack for the Russian market. On top is a clearly visible RF excise stamp with a serial number. The design is minimalist: white background, gold stripe, dark blue logo and additional inscription USA Blend. The bottom part indicates: "1MG LIGHTS" - this is the lightest version of the series with an activated carbon filter (charcoal filter). Warnings are in Russian. This is one of the last Kent designs before a general style update around 2012.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Medium. Although the Kent brand is very common, this 1mg version with the RF excise mark is less common in modern collections. Of interest to those who collect regional or older Kent design variations.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, cellophane intact, excise sticker intact. Condition – very good.
-
Historical data and popularity: This version of the pack was produced for a long time, but was gradually withdrawn from the market due to new tobacco regulation requirements. It is now becoming increasingly rare in collector's spaces.
