Description: This Marlboro Blue pack features a classic white background with a blue top and the words "Filter Cigarettes". It is a milder version of Marlboro, aimed at consumers looking for a milder taste. The front features the traditional Philip Morris crest. The back features a health warning in Spanish with a striking visual illustration of a skull: „"El humo del cigarette affects also a quien no fuma"“ („Cigarette smoke also affects non-smokers.“) The warning is marked with a sign from Venezuela’s Ministry of Health and Social Development, which clearly identifies the market.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. Marlboro is one of the most well-known brands in the world, so only regional editions (like this one from Venezuela) have additional value. Due to the localized warning and rare design, this version may be of interest to collectors.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, in excellent condition.
-
Historical data and popularity: Marlboro Blue was distributed in various Latin American countries as a milder alternative to the classic red version. Due to tightening tobacco regulations in many countries, such packs have become rarer.
