Description
„CT Cubatabaco is an authentic Cuban cigarette pack that reflects the design style of the country's tobacco industry during the late socialist period. The pack design is distinctly retro, with horizontal lines in orange, brown and dark red tones, conveying the mood of a warm climate and traditional tobacco aesthetics.
The central part is dominated by a large logo "CT" (abbreviation from Cuba tobacco), and next to it is the inscription new disease ("new mixture"). Clearly marked at the bottom HAVANA CUBA, emphasizing the authentic origin. The package is sealed with the original green Cuban excise tape.
This design stands out for its simplicity and functionality – a typical expression of the Cuban aesthetic of the 1970s and 1980s, when quality was prioritized over commercial image.
