Description:
Cigarettes "Крым" ("Crimea") are a classic product of the Ukrainian SSR, belonging to the higher category ("Сигареты высшего сорта"). The packaging depicts a stylized architectural motif of Simferopol with the inscription "Симферополь". These cigarettes were popular in the Black Sea regions, often considered a regional souvenir product. The packaging design is minimalist, but uniquely recognizable due to its light green color.
Value assessment:
Collectible value: Medium-high. Regional issues of the USSR, especially those produced by Crimean factories, are valued for their smaller mintage. This green version from Simferopol is considered rarer than the yellow Feodosia "Крым" version.
Condition assessment: Unopened, cellophane wrapped, excellent condition - natural age oxidation effect visible on the surface.
Historical data and popularity: The Feodosia Tobacco Factory was one of the most important manufacturers in the Ukrainian SSR, supplying cigarettes for export to the republics of the USSR.
