Description:
„The Ashford Lights package features a subtle and refined European-style design. The main color scheme is a white background with a blue metallic stripe, giving the impression of elegance and cleanliness. The upper part depicts a coat of arms with a crown and the initial letter "A", emphasizing the aristocratic image of the brand. The font is classic, thin and elegant, matching the minimalist composition. The inscription "Finest International Quality - Rich Virginia Tobaccos" indicates the desire to emphasize the origin of high-quality tobacco. The warning in Chinese on the back indicates that this release was intended for export to Asian markets (probably Taiwan or Hong Kong).
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: medium – this is a high-quality, yet fairly widespread European export product, interesting for its international purpose and excellent condition.
– Condition assessment: excellent, unopened, original film without damage.
– Historical data and popularity: „The Ashford brand was produced in Germany as an international quality series aimed at export markets. These packs appeared in the 1990s-2000s, when German manufacturers were actively expanding in Asia, so this release is an interesting example of adapting Western production to the design standards of the Asian market.
