– Collectible value: Average – interesting as An example of Brazilian local design with a "European" look, but the model itself is not particularly rare.
– Condition assessment: Excellent - cellophane intact, excise sticker intact, colors bright, corners undamaged.
– Historical significance: reflects the efforts of Brazilian tobacco producers to merge into the international segment with imitation design, in order to compete with imported brands.
