Description:
This is a historical version of Kent's "Famous Micronite Filter", made in Switzerland - a rare country of origin for this brand, as Kent is usually made in the USA or Germany. The pack features an elegant white and gold design, with a distinctive dark blue logo on top. The inscription "KING SIZE" indicates the standard length. A soft pack that is less resistant to environmental influences, so signs of aging (stains, oxidation) are noticeable, but the overall appearance remains authentic and collectible.

Historical data and popularity:
„Kent is an international premium cigarette brand owned by British American Tobacco. The Micronite Filter was one of the technological innovations of the mid-20th century, although it was later removed due to the use of asbestos. Kent cigarettes, made in Switzerland, are extremely rare editions intended for specific markets (often diplomatic or Western European exports), and therefore have a higher collector's value than regular versions.
