Description: This pack of Winston „American Flavor” cigarettes was intended for the Latvian market, as evidenced by the health warnings in Latvian („Smēļušana nogalina“, „Smēļušana gērtēšana laikā kaitē Jūsu irēmē“) and the Latvian stamp with a nominal price of LVL 0.32. The top part depicts a golden eagle with the inscription „American Flavor“, and the design of the pack corresponds to the classic Winston style – a white background with a blue stripe and a white logo. This is a standard, but clearly regional edition.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. As this is a regional issue with Latvian postage stamp and inscriptions, the pack is of interest to collectors looking for Baltic issues. However, this is not a limited edition or thematic pack.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, in excellent condition.
-
Historical data and popularity: Winston was popular in all Baltic countries, while American Flavor versions were prevalent during the transition period before the labeling changes. Such packs are now becoming increasingly rare on the market.
