Description:
A solid package featuring bright blue color and minimalist, modern design. In the upper part - Klaipėda city coat of arms with a white castle tower and defensive elements on a red background, with horizontal stripes below it light blue lines, symbolizing the waves of the sea.
Large inscription in the central part „"KLAIPEDA"“ in white letters with a dark outline that gives it expressiveness.
On the sides of the package – „Philip Morris Lithuania“ marking and the usual inscriptions of the period: "Not for sale in stores.".
Above – green Lithuanian excise stamp, without the indicated price, is typical of the last years of local production before accession to the EU.
The overall impression is modern, clean, with a retained regional identity. This is a newer version, released after the previous, lighter blue variant with a price of LTL 2.60.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: High is late version of the Klaipėda series, released just before the cessation of local production, making these packs increasingly rare on the collector's market. Due to its symbolism (the name of the city and the coat of arms), the pack is considered a representative object of a regional collection.
– Condition assessment: Excellent - unopened, original film, perfectly preserved excise sticker, no color fading.
– Historical data and popularity: This version of the "Klaipėda" represents the last wave of local production in Lithuania before the entry into force of EU regulations. After 2004, this type of package was no longer produced - therefore this version is considered a late edition sought after by collectors.
