Description:
This is authentic Lucky Strike Original Toasted - Original Red package, made British American Tobacco Argentina SA. and is intended for the Argentine market. This version is distinguished by the fact that instead of the usual "Original Blend" or "Original Recipe" the name is used here „Original Toasted“, directly reminiscent of the classic Lucky Strike slogan “It’s Toasted”, which has been advertised since 1917 and refers to a special tobacco roasting process.
Visible on top Argentine blue stamp "Código N° 3 CIGARRILLOS"„, confirming local licensed sales. At the back is a mandatory warning in Spanish: “"El fumar es prejudicial para la salud - Ley N° 23.344"”, in compliance with Argentine health law.
The design is modern, minimalist - a white background with a red top stripe, and in the central part - a large "Lucky Strike" logo surrounded by in a gold-silver circle. This version is considered one of the three main design variations (Recipe, Blend, Toasted) that were released for the Argentine market as local variants of Original Red.
The package is brand new, sealed with the original film, with the banderole intact, without scratches or deformations - perfect for a collection.
Value assessment:
Collectible Value: Higher than regular regional Lucky Strike variants due to rare version of the title "Original Toasted"„, which was briefly used only in some South American markets (Argentina, Paraguay).
Condition assessment: Excellent - film intact, stamp fully intact, clean surface.
Historical background: The name "Lucky Strike Toasted" echoes one of the oldest tobacco marketing phrases in the world. This particular version was limited and later replaced with the standard "Original Red" design without the additional word "Toasted".
