Description:
A distinctively designed pack with a black base and white and gold accents. In the center is the signature Black Death logo: a skull with a top hat and the brand name written in a distinctive font. A minimalistic but extremely striking visual solution created one of the most recognizable cigarette packages of the late 20th century.
The gold frames provide contrast, while the sides feature information about the Premium Blend tobacco blend. This design has caused quite a bit of debate over the name and symbolism, and has been banned in some countries as "too provocative.".
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: Higher. The Black Death series has become a cult phenomenon among tobacco and pop culture collectors, especially due to its limited availability following the bans in the late 1990s.
– Condition assessment: Excellent - package is unopened, with original film, slight surface micro-scratches from storage.
– Historical data and popularity: „The Black Death brand was created in Great Britain and quickly acquired an image of alternative music and rock culture. The name and logo have caused bans and controversy in some countries (especially the USA), which has further increased its collectible value.
