Description:
„The Major Extra Size cigarette pack is a classic example of Irish tobacco manufacturing. The design features a green, white and gold colour scheme and traditional lettering. The front and back clearly state that these are Virginia Filter Tipped cigarettes, while text at the bottom highlights the manufacturer as The Carroll Tobacco Company, established in Dundalk, Ireland since 1834. This pack was intended for the domestic and potential export market, and the “extra size„ designation indicates a non-standard length.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. Although this is not a limited edition or anniversary pack, production has long been discontinued and the brand itself is a thing of the past, making the pack interesting for collectors who collect tobacco products from Ireland or the British Council countries.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, original film, very good condition.
-
Historical data and popularity: „Major was one of the famous Irish brands, produced by the Carroll Tobacco Company. This manufacturer had a deep tradition and was one of the oldest operating tobacco manufacturers in Ireland before mergers with international groups. These packets rarely appear on the market due to the limited number of surviving units.
