Description
Dark blue, glossy hard pack with a minimalist yet expressive design. The top is dominated by a white shield symbol with a number „"14"“, indicating the quantity of cigarettes – an unconventional format typical of some regional manufacturers in Indonesia.
The brand name is written in large gold letters in the central part „"GEAR"“, below it – smaller font „Classic“, and marked at the bottom „"14 Kretek Filter"“, referring to clove cigarettes with a filter.
An inscription is visible on the side „King Size“ and excise tape with denomination Rp. 3,000, and the back features Indonesian text describing the carefully selected blend of tobacco and cloves.
The design is clearly focused on the "younger" kretek consumer audience - modern, sporty, maintaining the impression of quality packaging.
Value assessment
– Collectible value: medium–higher – the pack stands out for its unusual quantity (14 pieces) and solid visual design. Due to its good condition and unique proportions (neither 12 nor 16 pieces, which are more common), it is considered an interesting collector's find.
– Condition assessment: excellent, unopened (cellophane intact, corners clean, print without damage).
– Historical data and popularity: „Gear is one of the smaller production lines in the Kudus region, known for its experimental formats and bolder designs. Although not a widely exported brand, it was seen in the local market as an economical yet stylish option.
