Description: This cigarette pack is named after the Naxçıvan region, an autonomous region of Azerbaijan. The design in Russian and Azerbaijani, with the third class marking („КЛАСС ТРЕТИЙ“), indicates that these were cheaper cigarettes intended for local consumption. The color scheme is dark red with a light window and a typical Soviet-era heraldic emblem above the inscription. Such a pack is distinguished by a clear regional identity and the rare name of the place of production.
