Description:
„Gladstone Mild Menthol is a classic example of Luxembourg-made menthol cigarettes, with a minimalist yet elegant design. The pack is covered with a subtle cream background with a thin black diagonal line, while green accents convey the refreshing theme typical of the menthol category. Above the logo, the coat of arms of two lions with a crown and a green shield is visible - this is the symbol of Gladstone, showing its British influence.
This 25-cigarette edition was intended for the Benelux market and production was overseen by the British American Tobacco Group. The menthol version was popular with consumers who appreciated a milder taste but a full tobacco profile.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: Average – Gladstone is not very popular among mass collectors, but its packaging from the Luxembourg period is valued for its design integrity and quality printing.
– Condition assessment: Excellent - unopened, in original film, with excise stamp still intact.
– Historical data and popularity: „Gladstone was a mid-range European brand, popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Menthol versions like this one were less common and have a niche value in collections today, especially among collectors of menthol themed packaging.
