Description:
This is a classic Camel Filters design — yellow packaging with a camel in the desert, palm trees, and a pyramid in the background.
The upper part is clearly marked:
„"SOLD IN LITHUANIA 5.80 LTL – MSP GVD 207254"“ – this is the official excise stamp of the Republic of Lithuania, used until 2011.
Lithuanian health warnings on the front and back:
-
„"Smoking kills"“
-
„"Your doctor or pharmacist will help you quit smoking"“
The side states: “"A product of JTI International, made in the EU."”
This is one of the first JTI (Japan Tobacco International) period permits in Lithuania after Camel production and distribution rights in the region were fully taken over from RJ Reynolds.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: medium-high. This is the first litas-priced Camel Filters variant, so it is considered a transitional model before the later 7.99 Lt designs.
– Condition assessment: flawless - original film, clear excise stamp.
– Historical significance: This package marks the period when two versions of health warnings (text without pictures) were still used in Lithuania.
