Description:
This pack of Mild Seven „Hong Kong Charcoal Filter“ cigarettes is a special edition for the Hong Kong market. The front side depicts a panoramic view of Hong Kong city with skyscrapers and the harbor, with the name „香港“ (Hong Kong) written in blue at the top. „HONG KONG“ is written on a white background at the bottom. The back side features the classic Mild Seven design – a vertical dark blue stripe with the words „MILD SEVEN“ and the text „Charcoal Filter“. The color scheme maintains the clean, minimalist style of Mild Seven, but the front side is exclusively dedicated to the local regional edition. The pack is soft, covered with the original film, with visible oxidation spots and surface stains characteristic of time.
Value assessment:
Collectible Value: Above average. Regional editions of Mild Seven, especially those intended for Hong Kong before the brand switched to the Mevius name, are rare and prized among Asian collectors.
Condition assessment: Unopened, soft package, film darkened in places and with age spots.
Historical data and popularity: Mild Seven was a major Japanese tobacco product, exported to many Asian countries. The Hong Kong version was limited edition, making it a sought-after collector's item. The Charcoal Filter series was distinguished by its use of activated carbon filters, which was a technologically advanced solution for its time.
