Description:
The pack is dominated by two colors – a white upper part with the inscription "Türk Tütünü TRUVA Filtreli Sigara" and a red lower part with the TEKEL logo. A golden "TEKEL" excise sticker is attached to the top. This is an original production of the "Tekel" state tobacco monopoly. The pack is unused, sealed with original cellophane, but slight yellowing of the cellophane from storage is visible.
Value assessment
Collectible value: Medium-high, as it is a Turkish TEKEL monopoly product, today it is sought after by collectors as an example of national tobacco history.
Condition assessment: Very good (sealed, but cellophane browned from age, corners slightly creased).
Historical data and popularity:
„Truva was one of the brands produced by TEKEL, sold to the local market in the 1970s and 1980s. Tekel, as a state monopoly, owned all tobacco production in Turkey until 2002. These packets have become symbolic witnesses of the old Turkish tobacco industry, and are therefore in demand in collections today.
