Description:
This design is unique in its color scheme - a warm orange-gold gradation at the top transitions to a sandy yellow at the bottom.
The center features the classic Camel symbol – a camel with pyramids and palm trees against a desert backdrop.
Above – “CAMEL” with a gray-blue outline, below it - “MEDIUM”, and below - “Smooth American Blend”.
This is one of the few Camel releases that clearly highlighted MEDIUM strength level (between Filters and Lights).
On the right is a Russian excise stamp with the inscription „"SPECIAL MARKA TOBACCO PRODUCTS RUSSIA"“, confirming that the package was intended for the domestic market.
On the side – production according to JTI International license.
📦 Collectible features:
-
„The "Medium" variant was a short-lived attempt to introduce an intermediate strength level between "Filters" and "Lights", and was therefore produced in very limited quantities.
-
This design only existed in a few regions (Russia, Ukraine and some Eastern European markets).
-
There are no health warning texts on the front - which distinguishes this copy from EU sets of the time.
-
A fully sealed copy is highly sought after by collectors.
