Description:
„"Craven 'A' Menthol" is an exclusive edition of the menthol version, recognizable by its two main colors - white and turquoise. The design is minimalist, classic and maintains the brand's traditional identity: an elliptical logo with the inscription Craven “A” in the center and a gold border around it. The top is dominated by a green block with an information strip, typical of South African issues issued after 1990, when standardized warnings were introduced. This 30-cigarette pack is a rarer format, retaining the British-style aesthetics and traditions of the old Carreras.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: Medium/Higher – Menthol versions of Craven A, especially in the 30 pack format, are much rarer than the standard 20 pack. Regional South African releases with English language warnings have a niche value among collectors.
– Condition assessment: Good – the package is unopened, but there are visible surface stains and a slight discoloration due to long-term storage. The film is not damaged.
– Historical data and popularity: „Craven A is one of the oldest British tobacco brands, created in the early 20th century by the Carreras Tobacco Company. Menthol versions were produced in limited quantities, mostly for export to African, Asian and Caribbean markets. The South African editions were distinguished by their unique pack size and locally adapted warning style.
