Description: This LR Brand cigarette pack has a classic American design, with red accents and a white background. The inscription „FILTER CIGARETTES – EST. 1877“ and „Larus & Brother Company“ refer to the historic manufacturer from the USA. The pack clearly states that the cigarettes use 100 % premium leaf tobacco. The German warning about the harms of smoking indicates that this pack was intended for the German market. This is a historically interesting and now almost invisible product.
