Description:
„Rockets 40 Gold“ is a cigarette pack of a unique format, containing as many as 40 cigarettes – twice as many as in a regular pack. The gold background and the large red number „40“ with elements of the American flag and the inscription „American Blend“ suggest that this was a brand focused on the mass cheap market with a US stylistic image. The warnings are in Lithuanian. The pack has a price in litas, which indicates that it was sold in Lithuania even before the introduction of the euro (until January 1, 2015).
