Description:
Philip Morris "Filter Box - Anda por partes" - a limited edition promotional edition from Argentina, released as part of a marketing campaign with the slogan "Anda por partes" ("Go in parts") encouraging consumers to collect game pieces from the packs ("Busca las piezas impresas en los packs, unilas y gana"). The design is based on the classic Philip Morris aesthetic - a white background, a red central rectangle with the logo, and a blue section with the three-star emblem and the "PM" monogram at the top. The original Argentine excise sticker "Código N°39 CIGARRILLOS" is placed on the top of the pack, according to the law "Ley 24.674". The side band is blue, supplemented with the advertising campaign slogan. The back side says "Filter Box", and the bottom side says "20 Cigarillos Rubios / Industria Argentina". The pack is completely intact, with the original cellophane, and the corners are neat.
Value assessment:
Collectible Value: Above average. Due to the limited-time marketing campaign and specific design with a game theme (puzzle motif), this pack is considered sought after by collectors who collect regional and promotional editions.
Condition assessment: Excellent - the package is unopened, with cellophane and excise sticker, the colors remain bright.
Historical data and popularity: Philip Morris Argentina (a division of PMI) ran several promotions in the early 2000s, with "Anda por partes" being one of the most popular. This edition stands out for the temporary campaign branding on the packaging, which is why collectors distinguish it from the standard "Filter Box" versions.
