Description: „The "Курск" cigarette pack features vertical gold stripes, a light background, and a stylized Kursk city symbol in the center. The red, blue, and white stripes above and below the logo are a possible design element alluding to the Russian tricolor, although the USSR did not officially have such a color at the time. The name "Курск" corresponds to the name of one of the largest cities in the USSR - Kursk, and the design indicates that these were locally produced cigarettes with third-grade tobacco. On the left, the GOST 3935-83 standard and the price - 25 kopecks.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Medium – although this is not a rare package, it may be interesting to specific collectors due to its geographical connection and city symbolism.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, with cellophane still intact. There are a few signs of storage on the packaging (dots, small stains), but overall in very good condition.
-
Historical data and popularity: The name Kursk was known in the USSR and associated with major historical events, but the name of the cigarettes is not directly related to this. Among collectors, it is considered a fairly standard regional pack.
