Description:
Extra powerful is a classic Polish cigarette pack from the socialist period. The design is minimalist, but at the same time characteristic - dominated by a large black letter "E", a red horizontal line with the word "Ekstra" and the inscription "mocne" (strong) at the bottom. On the side you can see the inscription "20 papierosów", and on top - old-style state control marks (monopoly mark and price - 5 zl).
It is one of the cheaper and more widely available products intended for the mass domestic consumption market in communist Poland. As a result, the package is a typical reflection of the period and relevant as a collectible item of visual and historical significance.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Medium–High. Although the product itself was mass-produced and cheap, it is rare to find packets from this period preserved in intact condition. This packet perfectly represents the aesthetics, typography, and state monopoly labeling system of the communist era.
-
Condition assessment: In good condition, although some natural wear and tear of the paper is visible – authentic old-fashioned feel.
-
Historical data and popularity: This is a typical product of the Polish tobacco industry from a time when such packets were everywhere, but now only a few remain - that's why the collectible value does not arise from the brand, but from the representativeness of the era.
