Description:
This „Nelson Lights Duty Free edition pack, designed to highlight Britain's maritime heritage and historical grandeur.

The detail of the illustration and the historical theme give it a distinctive look, and FOR DUTY FREE SALE ONLY the tape confirms that this was intended only for airports and ship stores, not for the domestic market.
