Description:
Chesterfield "Mambaya Gold" is a limited edition Argentine series variant, belonging to the Philip Morris International line, in which Chesterfield was localized according to regional names (Amazonia Gem, "Mambaya Gold", etc.). The packaging is light beige in color, with a dark red top and a delicate diamond ornament on the edges of the pack. On the top on a red background - "20 CIGARETTES", in the center - the classic Chesterfield logo with a crown, at the bottom - the inscription "MAMBAYA GOLD" in red and gold font.
On the back side, there is a mini promotional graphic with the words "NEW! MAMBAYA GOLD" and an image of a cigarette pack, as well as a health warning.
On the upper edge is the original Argentine excise sticker "Código N°14", applied according to "Ley 24.674", identical to other Chesterfield variants produced during the same period.
Value assessment:
Collectible Value: Above average as this is a less common version of the Chesterfield series, produced only for the South American market and featuring a distinctive regional name. Due to the specific series (Amazonia, Mambaya, Caribe) it is valued by collectors as part of the thematic Chesterfield "tropical line".
Condition assessment: Excellent - the package is unopened, the cellophane is intact, the excise stamp is clearly visible.
History and popularity: Mambaya Gold was introduced as a milder flavor variant of the "smooth" line and was produced locally by Philip Morris Argentina. Production ceased around 2010.
