Value assessment:

• Collectible value: Average. Although Elita cigarettes have historical significance in the Baltics, they are not particularly rare or sought after by collectors. The menthol version may be slightly more valuable due to flavor bans in the European Union.
• Condition assessment: An unopened package in excellent condition increases the collectible value.
• Historical data and popularity: Elita was one of the most popular cigarettes in Latvia, but after production ceased in 2009, it became less well-known among wider collectors.
