„Angkor is one of the more interesting regional tobacco brands from Cambodia, named after the country's most famous cultural monument - the Angkor Wat temple complex. The front of the package is dominated by a large color photo of Angkor Wat, which immediately stands out among Asian cigarette designs due to its touristic, national motif.
The background is light yellow, decorated with a repeating Angkor Wat symbol. The name is written in red letters at the top. ANGKOR, and below is the text 20 Classic Virginia – Made under authority of Vinton Tobacco Co. Ltd.

– Collectible value: Average-Good – Cambodian cigarette packs, especially Angkor, are quite rare in international markets as production was limited and most of them were consumed in the local market.
– Condition assessment: ideal - brand new, with intact film and excise sticker.
