The dark blue band at the bottom with the inscription "Con Filtro" emphasizes the type of filtered cigarettes. The sides are marked with manufacturing information and health warnings in Italian. The pack is soft, covered with the original film, on the surface of which oxidation spots are visible, but overall preservation is excellent.
