Description:
A classic design package on a white background with bright blue and gold details. The top part features a coat of arms with a red shield and gold anchors on a blue background, under which is written in elegant red font LENINGRAD, and below that – the word SPECIAL ("special"). The blue stripe at the bottom of the pack creates visual balance and reflects the Nordic cold tone characteristic of this brand. The design maintains the classic, representative style characteristic of the Leningrad series - emphasizing the city's cultural heritage and tobacco traditions.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: Higher – Leningrad Osobye is quite appreciated among collectors for its clean, elegant design and maintained balance of Soviet/post-Soviet aesthetics. Particularly interesting as a transitional issue when the classic Leningrad name was still used.
– Condition assessment: Excellent - original cellophane and excise tape are completely intact, colors are bright.
– Historical data and popularity: produced at the Novo Tabak factory, whose history dates back to 1873. This pack belongs to the higher-end Osobye line, which was distinguished by higher-quality tobacco and a more subtle design.
