Description:
This is an edition of L&M Menthol Lights with the inscription „Luminous Mark“, which indicates a special design or manufacturing feature, usually related to shiny surfaces or technologies (in this case, a metallic color in the center of the pack). The pack design is white with a greenish-blue zone in the center and the blue L&M logo. This model is intended to emphasize the impression of freshness and cleanliness characteristic of menthol cigarettes. The original packaging with Russian language warnings and an excise stamp confirms that it was distributed to the Russian market.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. L&M menthol series packs were widely available, but the versions with special names (Luminous Mark, Especially Smooth, etc.) have a higher value than the standard editions. Collectors seek these versions as transitional or rarely produced.
-
Condition assessment: Excellent - original package, undamaged, with excise tax.
-
Historical data and popularity: L&M was one of the leading mid-range brands in Eastern Europe and Russia. Menthol packets had their audience before they were restricted in the EU and some other markets, and now they are gaining collector value due to discontinued flavors.
