Description:
Monte Carlo Menthol is a classic-style cigarette pack, featuring a light green color with bright white and gold accents. The packaging states that the cigarettes are manufactured under license from RJ Reynolds Tobacco Co., which indicates a connection with the US tobacco tradition, but the excise stamp clearly indicates that this is a Russian import publication. The front part is dominated by the trademark „Monte Carlo“ and the inscription „Menthol“, emphasizing the taste. The pack is designed for „King Size“ cigarettes, and its design conveys the image of classic American tobacco production.
