Description:
This is one of the typical examples of cigarettes from the late Soviet period, named after the Ukrainian city of Лугань (Lugansk/Luhansk). The pack is distinguished by its yellow-black design with red details, minimalistic font and a clear warning about the dangers of smoking in Russian at the top. The font and style retain the strict, propagandistic aesthetic characteristic of Soviet production of that time. This is a rare type due to its specific regional name and limited geographical distribution.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Medium–high. Due to its limited distribution (regional production) and authentic design from the Soviet Union period, the pack is interesting for both collectors of Soviet paraphernalia and cigarette collectors.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, with original cellophane, in good visual condition, slight paper deformation at the edges, but acceptable for an antique.
-
Historical data and popularity: Cigarettes with this name did not achieve international fame, but are sought after among collectors interested in Soviet production.
