Description:
This is a Croatian national design CROATIA a pack of cigarettes made in the famous Tobacco Factory Zagreb – one of the oldest tobacco factories in the region. The design is based on a simple, yet extremely solid composition: white background, red central rectangle with white lettering „"CROATIA"“, at the top – the classic heraldic logo of the factory and the inscription “"Made of the finest Croatian tobaccos"”.
The back side contains a short description of Croatian tobacco traditions and cultural heritage, and the price is visible at the top – 11.00 kuna, with a serial number and excise sticker confirming authentic local origin.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: average, with a tendency to grow. This is one of the few packages that directly represents the name of the state of Croatia, and therefore has symbolic and identity significance for collectors.
– Condition assessment: great. Unopened, cellophane sealed, price and serial sticker intact – this is especially appreciated by collectors.
– Historical data and popularity: CROATIA was a national brand focused on the local market. After 2010, Tobacco Factory Zagreb's operations declined significantly, making these packs rare even in Croatia itself.
