Description: This AA Filter cigarette pack features a minimalist retro design, with a white background, an orange rectangle and large graphic initials "aa". The text is in both Arabic and English, and states that the tobacco blend is a "Turkish and American blend". The top and sides have the inscription "Algerie", indicating the country of manufacture. This is a typical pack from North Africa from the 1970s.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: High – due to the rare surviving units from Algeria, especially with authentic designs and bilingual packaging. Such a package is interesting for collectors interested in African or Middle Eastern issues.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, cellophane wrapped, very good collectible condition.
-
Historical data and popularity: The AA brand was produced in Algeria for the local market, often using European-style designs combined with local patterns. It is not widely distributed, and therefore packets in their original condition are becoming increasingly rare.
