Description:
This is a classic style Camel Lights edition for the Russian market, with a light blue background and a golden camel symbol against a desert backdrop, alongside pyramids and palm tree silhouettes. At the top is the inscription Camel Since 1913, with a small „Lights“ inscription at the bottom. The design features a clean, recognizable Camel identity, without additional graphic elements. On the back is an English text about the quality of the tobacco (“"Camel, a premium blend of the finest quality tobaccos..."”). On the side - Russian text and a vertical logo. The package is marked with an orange Russian excise stamp with a holographic security element.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: Medium – this is a standard, widespread model, but it is kept in excellent condition with an excise stamp, therefore it has lasting collector's value. More valuable in a complete series together with other regional Camel Lights editions (e.g. for the Baltic or Polish markets).
– Condition assessment: excellent, unopened, original film.
– Historical data and popularity: „Camel Lights was one of the main models in both the Russian and Eastern European markets. This edition reflects a period when the design was not yet unified according to EU packaging standards, therefore it retains an authentic visual style with Russian excise duty.
