Description:
This Barclay Fine Menthol Taste package is an elegant light cream color with a light greenish-green stripe through the center - a clear indication of menthol. The name Fine Menthol Taste is depicted in the main font, at the bottom - the warning "Suitsentamine zaštėtab tervist!" (lit. "Smoking is harmful to health") in Estonian, which indicates that this release was intended for the Estonian market. The side surface shows a barcode and other printed codes, and the cellophane film is still present, although slightly discolored, there may be minor bends. The package looks relatively neat, without obvious major scratches or deformations, the corners are quite sharp.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible Value: Average. Not that it is a very rare edition, but the text in Estonian may give it some local rarity among Eastern European collectors.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, good/very good (cellophane-wrapped, corners neat, no major damage).
-
Historical data and popularity: Barclay is a well-known brand with various editions in catalogs (e.g., Barclay Menthol editions mentioned in the Zigsam catalog) zigsam.at. However, the specific "Fine Menthol Taste" with the Estonian warning may not have many analogues among collectors - it is more of a regional variant that may be of interest to the Baltic collector communities.
