Description: The Mercedes De Luxe cigarette pack is distinguished by its luxurious, all-black design with white lettering. The large "M" symbol with the text "Finest Selected Tobaccos" is visible at the top, and the brand name is elegantly arranged on the front and sides. A short poetic quote about "true enjoyment" is printed on the back - a rare design decision among cigarette packs. An authentic German excise stamp with the price of 5.35 DM remains on the top, allowing us to roughly date the pack to the period before the introduction of the euro in Germany (2002). Manufacturer - RJ Reynolds Tobacco GmbH.
