Description:
This pack of Albatros cigarettes is an old-fashioned type of soft packaging, typical of Polish products of the post-communist period. The packaging is a blurred, white and blue gradient with a red logo and a minimalist design. The print "AUGUSTÓW" is clearly visible at the top, indicating the place where the cigarettes were produced. This type of pack is today considered historical, as it reflects a period when cigarette packaging was not yet standardized and reflected more regional or small-scale factory design solutions.

Value assessment:

  • Collectible value: High
    Regarding the package:

    • old,

    • soft type packaging (less common today),

    • belonging to a defunct manufacturer or brand,

    • and a specific Polish design - the pack acquires a higher value among collectors, especially among enthusiasts of Eastern European tobacco history.

  • Condition assessment: Unwrapped, but slightly deformed at the bottom - very good, but not ideal condition.

  • Historical data and popularity:
    The Augustów tobacco factory was one of several Polish manufacturers that supplied local products to the domestic market in the 1980s and 1990s. These packets are now almost non-existent in trade and are considered historical relics.
