Description:
This Chesterfield „Lights” edition was intended for the Italian market, as evidenced by the inscriptions in Italian („Nuoce gravemente alla salute“, „Ogni anno il tabagismo fa più vittime degli incidenti stradali“) and the date of the law (29/12/1990). The design reflects the Chesterfield classics - the cream color dominates, the logo with blue and gold colors and the background sketch of buildings. The font remains faithful to the Chesterfield retro aesthetic. On top - an authentic Italian excise stamp.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Medium-high. Chesterfield is one of the most recognizable US tobacco brands, and this edition is a European edition, specific to the Italian market, with authentic 1990 labeling. Collectors value such specific markets and well-preserved variants.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, with cellophane, well preserved, although minimal signs of aging are visible (surface stains, minor oxidation). Condition is assessed as good / very good.
-
Historical data and popularity: Chesterfield is an old brand that was popular in both the US and Europe. These "Lights" editions with Italian warnings were produced before the massive unification of EU tobacco directives, so this version is seen today as an example of the "transitional period".
