Description:
NIL Regie Filter is a classic Austrian tobacco brand, marked with a blue background, white border and a coat of arms eagle logo. The packaging is minimalist in style, dominated by the inscriptions „FILTER“ and „Regie NIL“, as well as warnings about the harm of smoking in German („Rauchen gefährdet die Gesundheit“, „Rauchen verursacht Krebs“), which confirms the orientation of the pack to German-speaking markets. The excise stamp with the indication „Austria Tabak“ also indicates that this release is intended for the Austrian market. The design and typography correspond to the visual standards of the late 20th century.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. Although NIL is not one of the most sought-after international brands, it is a historic Austrian product with lasting value among collectors, especially considering the increasingly difficult availability of this type of packaging.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, in excellent condition. Original film intact, corners minimally affected by age.
-
Historical data and popularity: NIL is one of the well-known cigarette brands in Austria, actively distributed in the region between 1990 and 2000. After the merger with Gallaher and later JTI, the brand was gradually reduced or renamed.
