Description:
This pack of "Рали Специальни" (Rali Specialni) cigarettes is a classic socialist-era design, typical of Bulgarian manufacturers. The packaging is minimalist, white with horizontal lines and a red circle with the brand name. The inscriptions in Bulgarian Cyrillic indicate that this pack was intended for the domestic market: "20 цигари без филтер" - 20 cigarettes without a filter. At the top is marked "специальни", meaning a higher class or specific strength. These packs were popular among working-class consumers due to their strength and low price.
