Description: The cigarette pack "Турист" (lit. "Tourist") is designed with a unique travel and historical motif. The front side depicts a stylized image of a Bulgarian fortress or city wall with the inscription "София – ЦАРСКА КРЕПОСТ" (lit. "Sofia – Royal Fortress"), and below is a red star and compass symbol, symbolizing direction and adventure. The background of the pack is light, with a brown border and classic inscriptions in Russian about filter cigarettes. The design is clearly focused on the spirit of travel and leisure of the Soviet period. The pack is intact, with the original protective film.
Value assessment:
Collectible value: High. This is one of the less common export packages produced in Bulgaria, distinguished by its unique design, historical illustrations and geographical emphasis. Valuable for collectors as a thematic edition.
Condition assessment: Unopened, very good condition, original film in place, minor pressure marks.
Historical data and popularity: This type of package was aimed at the Soviet Union market, but was produced in Bulgaria as a result of economic cooperation. The name "Турист", together with the thematic design, makes this edition unique and sought-after among thematic or Eastern Bloc collections.
