Description:
2000 Special Blend – a mid-range Brazilian cigarette brand produced by Phoenix Tobacco a company that rose to prominence in the 2000s as one of the largest independent tobacco producers in Brazil.
The name "2000" symbolizes modernity and the new millennium, so the design is minimalist and clean – blue background with silver "S" element, conveying a technological and advanced image.
In the upper part - Brazilian excise sticker, and the back side has a health warning in Portuguese (Fumar causa impotência sexual – „Smoking causes sexual impotence“) with a characteristic photographic illustration, used in Brazilian tobacco control campaigns since 2001.
Clearly visible on the left side Brazilian flag symbol, indicating local production.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: Medium – the package is interesting as An example of the era of national production and graphic warnings in Brazil, but not rare in the local market.
– Condition assessment: Excellent - the cellophane is intact, the sticker is neat, the colors have not faded.
– Historical significance: good example Brazil's tobacco packaging reform period (2000-2010), when a photo warning system, unique in the South American region, came into effect.
