Description:
„The name of the cigarettes "Rodopi" comes from the Rhodope Mountains - a region of Bulgaria known for its tobacco cultivation. The pack is decorated with a minimalist, but at that time very characteristic design - small horizontal lines, a stylized tobacco leaf in the center against a background of a fire symbol. The inscription in Cyrillic: "20 цигары без филтерс" means "20 cigarettes without a filter", which was common at that time for cheaper or stronger products. The pack does not have health warnings or barcodes, so it can clearly be attributed to the era of pre-systemic labeling.
