Description:
„"Sasum" is a North Korean cigarette pack, manufactured at a tobacco factory in Pyongyang. The front side shows the place of manufacture (Pyongyang, Korea), while the back side shows a nature drawing with a deer, which probably inspired the name of the pack - the word "sasum" means deer in Korean. The pack is covered with transparent cellophane, which is still intact. The minimalist and clear design with a typical socialist pattern gives it additional historical value.
Value assessment:

-
Condition assessment: Unopened, very good condition (with minor age marks on the cellophane).
-
Historical data and popularity: „Sasum is not known internationally, but due to its North Korean origin, it has attracted attention among collectors of specific tobacco products. This pack is distinguished not only by its authentic design, but also by its rarity.
