Description:
„"СМ" (Сигареты Московские) was one of the most popular brands of the Moscow tobacco factory "Ява" (Java), produced in various versions - classic, "Light" and "Menthol". This green and white menthol version is intended for a higher category, and the design is distinguished by a modern dotted transition and minimalist inscription. The manufacturer indicated above is "Госагропром РСФСР, Табачная фабрика Ява, Москва".
Value assessment:
Collectible value: Medium–high. Menthol versions of "СМ" were produced for a shorter period of time and are rarer than the classic ones. Unopened packages with original cellophane are especially appreciated.
Condition assessment: Excellent - unopened, cellophane intact, no deformations.
Historical data and popularity: Menthol cigarettes were a novelty during the USSR, modeled after Western models. "СМ Ментол" was one of the first mass-produced menthol cigarettes in the Soviet Union.
