Description:
This Marlboro edition – Core Flavor – is intended for the Spanish market and bears the official Spanish excise sticker. The packaging features a more aggressive, contrasting black design, which differs from the classic red and white color scheme. The upper triangle remains red with the words „Filter Cigarettes“, while the rest is black, with a gray Marlboro logo and red „Core Flavor“ lettering. The health warnings are in Spanish, and the illustration of a syringe on the back is a common part of the graphic warning used in the Spanish market.
Value assessment:

Collectible value: Average, as it is not a limited edition version, but the unconventional design (black background) and being aimed at the Spanish market increase its appeal in collections.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, in excellent condition.

Historical data and popularity: „The Core Flavor version was not widely available in all European countries, so such regional editions can be seen as complementing the collection according to the geographical distribution of the market.
