Description:
„The Kosmos cigarette pack is one of the most recognizable and iconic tobacco products from the former USSR, which continued into the Russian Federation. This particular edition features a white background, a dark blue logo, and a design of classic symbolism – a rocket rising with a star – symbolizing space power, technological progress, and nostalgic grandeur of the Soviet era.
The package with the inscription "Сигареты с фильтром" ("cigarettes with a filter") marks a slightly updated version intended for the post-Soviet market, when many manufacturers adapted to new requirements, but still retained the old style. On the package is a classic health warning, typical of the late 1990s.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. This is not a first edition or limited edition, but its classic shape, good preservation, and clear connection to a cult brand keep it collectible.
-
Condition assessment: Good condition - package is intact, original film is preserved, excise stickers are visible. There may be minimal signs of storage (rust spots, color fading), but this does not significantly reduce the value.
-
Historical data and popularity: „Kosmos is one of the longest-running cigarette brands in the former USSR. While the early releases are the most sought-after, this pack is also prized by collectors, especially if you're looking to collect the entire chronology of the brand.
