Description:
Classic Canadian du Maurier cigarette pack for duty-free (duty free) for sale. This variant is recognizable by its minimalistic but highly recognizable design – a rich red background with vertical silver lines and the logo two on the left side.
The name "du Maurier" comes from the famous British author Daphne du Maurier, but the brand was formed in the 1930s as a line of prestigious cigarettes for the Rothmans group. During the 1980s and 1990s, it was one of the most recognizable Canadian tobacco brands, popular both domestically and in export markets.
It is indicated on the package 20 Virginia Cigarettes - King Size, and in the lower part in small print – Duty Free • Made in Canada, confirming that it was a special permit for airports and international stores.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: Medium-high – although du Maurier is a widely known brand, namely Duty Free versions from Canada (with bilingual English-French text) are considered rarer.
– Condition assessment: Excellent - unopened package with original film, bright color, clean surface, only a small trace of age visible.
– Historical significance: This release symbolizes the golden age of the Canadian tobacco industry, when local manufacturers sought to maintain a British-style image in the North American market.
