Description:
The Swedish Blend pack features a bright orange-yellow color and a minimalist design featuring a sunset motif. This visual aesthetic was typical of Scandinavian design in the last decades of the 20th century. The back shows the tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide content, as well as an explanation of the unique tobacco and filter combination. The text is in English, which suggests that the pack may have been intended for export. The House of Blend AB is printed at the bottom, confirming its Swedish origin.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. Although Blend is a local Swedish brand, rarely found in international collections, its design and exclusive origin give it added value.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, original cellophane still intact. However, there is some heavy surface staining, especially on the lower part (brown mold/oxidation marks). This significantly reduces the aesthetic and commercial value. Condition – average/weaker than good.
-
Historical data and popularity: Blend was popular among Swedish smokers as a lighter cigarette, and this version in the "sunset" design is one of the most recognizable releases of the brand. Collectors are interested due to the specific provenance, but there is no mass interest internationally.
