Description: This exclusive Mahé Kings Special Filter cigarette pack is gold in colour, with a minimalist design, and blue and red lettering. The front features the outline of the Seychelles Islands, while the warning in English is printed at the bottom: „WARNING: SMOKING CAN DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH“. The side states that the pack is manufactured by Amalgamated Tobacco Co. (Seychelles) Ltd – indicating that the product is intended for the local Seychelles market or for export to small markets. The somewhat unusual size of 10 cigarettes per pack adds additional collector value.
