Description: This pack of Carlton 100's "Air-Stream Filter" cigarettes reflects the design of the 1970s and 1980s. The red and cream color scheme with the typical Indian-style logo and the striking Air-Stream filter highlight sets this edition apart from the rest. The back side contains a detailed analysis of nicotine and tar concentration and an explanation of the measurement methodology. This is one of the older Carlton editions, preserved in the original cellophane.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Medium-high, due to the fairly rare edition and typical vintage US design.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, but the packaging is damaged in places due to the effects of time (rust or moisture stains).
-
Historical data and popularity: Carlton 100's with the Air-Stream Filter were produced to reduce the amount of tar when smoked, a modern marketing move at the time. These editions are more sought after by American collectors.
