Description:
Classic H. Upmann Filter Cigarettes soft pack, manufactured in the USA under license from the famous Cuban cigar brand. Light cream design, with the emblematic H. Upmann logo in the center with award medals and the inscription "Fabrica de Tabacos H. Upmann Habana – Cuba". At the top is a sealing strip with a blue seal marked "General Cigar Co., Inc.", indicating the importer.
The package is in its original film, but there is some light aging at the top edge and deformation of the corners from pressure. Nevertheless, it retains excellent collectible authenticity.
Value assessment:
Collectible Value: Above average due to historical connection to the heritage of the Cuban tobacco brand. H. Upmann is one of the oldest manufacturers in Havana (founded in 1844), and these American versions of the cigarettes are a limited edition product intended for export to North America and Europe.
Condition assessment: Unopened, original film with excise tape, slight traces of storage.
Historical data and popularity: After the Cuban Revolution, the H. Upmann brand was split - one line remained in Cuba, the other was produced under license in the United States. Cigarettes with this brand were produced in limited quantities, so the surviving packs are considered a rare piece of collectible tobacco history.
