Historical data and popularity:
Cigarette packs made in Switzerland are relatively rare on the collector's market, as the country is not a major tobacco producer. Such a pack is particularly prized by collectors looking for high-end, of rare origin or diplomatic/premium segment products. Blue Ribbon is not a widely known brand, so its value is based not on awareness, but on exclusivity.
