Description:
The cigarette pack „Peter the Great“ is named in honor of one of the most famous Russian tsars. The design is dark, solid, symbolizing the imperial heritage. On the front is a coat of arms with a lion and a crown and the years „1672–1725“, indicating the period of the tsar’s life. On the back is a text about Peter the Great’s contribution to the creation and modernization of the empire. The slogan at the top – „Попробуй новый вкус“ (Try a new taste) – hints at a modern product with a classical theme.
Value assessment:

Historical data and popularity: This pack is part of a wider line of Russian cigarettes that feature historical figures or cities. Not as mass-produced as the mass-produced LD or Alliance packs, it is valued in collections as a single thematic unit.
