Description:
Light cream background with bright with the red logo "Philip Morris"„ in the upper part and a delicate coat of arms above it.
Name at the bottom „Mellowtunes“ written in the style of a musical theme – pink and burgundy note symbols extending from the center of the package downwards, conveying a "soft, musical" image.
On the side - text “"El fumar es harmful para la salud"” and “SOLO FOR ADULTS”.
Above – Argentine excise sticker "Código Nº 29 – CIGARRILLOS"„, with IMP. INT. LEY 24.674 numbering, in this year's typical excise form.
Interestingly, the packaging states “16 blond cigarillos”, which was quite unusual — most manufacturers followed the 20-piece format. This suggests that the series was a test or „urban-style“ limited edition.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: High because it is a limited edition "lifestyle" pack with a design unique in Philip Morris history. Such editions were only produced for a few South American markets.
– Condition assessment: Excellent - cellophane is intact, sticker is intact, colors are preserved.
– Historical significance: An interesting turn in the brand's history is an attempt to create an image of a "lighter rhythm of life" based on a musical identity.
