Description:
„Ducal Lights is an elegant and neat package, typical of late 20th century European tobacco design. The combination of white and blue colors conveys an impression of cleanliness, lightness and reliability, while the red accent with the inscription Lights subtly emphasizes the milder version of the cigarettes. The classic Ducal coat of arms, two lions holding a shield with a red "D" symbol, is incorporated into the upper part and has been the brand's hallmark since its inception. The design is clear, restrained and proportionate, without excessive graphic elements. This variant, a pack of 25 cigarettes, was more common in the Benelux countries and is characterized by a thicker construction and higher manufacturing quality.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: Medium – The Ducal brand still exists, but older 1990-2000 releases from Luxembourg are becoming increasingly rare, especially the 25-cigarette format packs.
– Condition assessment: Excellent - unopened, in original packaging, with intact banderole label.
– Historical data and popularity: „Ducal is a product of Luxembourg-based manufacturer Heintz van Landewyck. It is one of the oldest tobacco manufacturers in Europe, having started its activities in the 19th century. This edition of Lights reflects a period when the brand was actively expanding into the French and Belgian markets, positioning itself as a reliable yet affordable European choice.
