Description: „"Средец Red" (Sredets Red) - a pack of cigarettes from Bulgaria with a classic design. The package is white with subtle horizontal lines, in the center - a coat of arms logo on a red background, indicating "King Size". At the bottom are warnings about the harm of smoking in Bulgarian. The package is originally sealed, with a clearly visible excise stamp (price: 2.40 BGN). The name "Средец" refers to the ancient name of Sofia, so the manufacturer probably sought to create an image of the classic Bulgarian tobacco tradition.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Low-Medium. As this is not a historical or limited edition product, the collectible value of the pack is based more on condition and regional interest than demand. Suitable for collections that include Balkan or EU pre-standard (pre-unification period) designs.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, very good condition.
-
Historical data and popularity: It was a domestic Bulgarian brand, produced by the Bulgarian tobacco industry during the post-privatization period. Not widely exported, but reflecting the modern, but not yet liberalized, EU period.
