Description:
This is a Polish version of the classic Marlboro Red edition with a horizontally arranged logo - one of the rarer ones design experiments, which Philip Morris has tested in certain markets. The main color combination is silver, red and white, contrasting strongly with the warnings.
Warnings are presented in two different texts:
-
„"Palenie tytoniu voodoo raka"“ (causes cancer)
-
„"Palenie tytoniu produje sorky serca"“ (causes heart disease)
The package is sealed, the top excise stamp (KP/BP 346…) confirms the date of release and presence on the national market (Poland).
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Higher than regular Marlboro Red, due to horizontal versions, which was briefly used in Eastern Europe. For collectors, it is an interesting design feature.
-
Condition assessment: Undamaged, with film, very good condition.
-
Historical data and popularity: „The Philip Morris horizontal logo was temporary, so this version is very limited in the market. It is often sought after by collectors of packet designs.
