Description:
„"Milde Sorte" is a cigarette pack with a classic German design, the name of which translates to „"gentle kind"“.
This version is for export, as clearly indicated by the inscription „"FOR EXPORT ONLY"“ on the back. The front uses an elegant combination of red and cream colors, and in the central part there is an emblematic logo with a cross and lions, conveying Western solidity.
The inscription "IM RAUCH NIKOTINARM" indicates that the product is a cigarette with a reduced nicotine content. At the bottom are the imprints "KLIMAZONE" and "FILTER", indicating a specific feature of the production technology, advertised as a cleaner combustion system.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: Average. Milde Sorte was one of the popular middle-class West German brands, but this export version with English inscriptions is rarer and more interesting for collectors.
– Condition assessment: Very good - the package is completely intact, with the original film, clearly preserved red-and-white surface, and visible prints.
– Historical data: „"Milde Sorte" was distributed both on the West German domestic market and exported to Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The brand belonged to the German tobacco tradition, which became popular after 1970 as a milder alternative to "Reval", "Ernte 23" or "HB".
