Description:
Denim Red is an American blend cigarette, packaged in a bright red hard pack. The pack is decorated with large silver letters and a coat of arms at the top, imitating the classic British style. The warnings are in Russian („КУРЕНИЕ УБИВАЕТ“ – Smoking kills; „КУРЕНИЕ МОЖЕТ ВЫЗВАТЬ БЕСПЛОДИЕ“ – Smoking can cause infertility), which indicates that this pack was intended for the CIS market (most likely Russia or Belarus). The information on the side confirms the German origin.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. Denim cigarettes are not a very well-known or prestigious brand, but packs with Russian warnings, made in Germany, may be interesting to collectors as examples of the transitional period. Also, the value is increased by good condition and a clear purpose (export to the East).
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, very good condition - package is clean, corners are intact, film is undamaged.
-
Historical data and popularity: Denim cigarettes were mainly produced and distributed as a budget segment product. As a result, this brand is not actively sought after by collectors, but packs with Russian markings are becoming increasingly rare and interesting for collections.
