Description:
A gold-colored cigarette pack with a prominent number "40" in the center, indicating a large quantity of cigarettes. The "ROCKETS GOLD" logo with the inscription "American Blend" is visible at the top. The design is modern and dynamic, based on a star-shaped background. Warnings in Lithuanian: "Smoking is very harmful to you and those around you", "Quitting smoking reduces the risk of fatal heart and lung diseases" indicate that this pack was distributed in Lithuania. The excise stamp with the price at the top 05.60 LTL and the code "HPN DOS 117165" allows you to accurately date the item to the period before the introduction of the euro.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. Rockets is not a widely known or sought-after brand by collectors, but a pack of 40 cigarettes is already a rarity in itself. The Lithuanian market is poorly represented among collectors, making such packs unique from a regional perspective.
-
Condition assessment: Excellent condition - film intact, original excise stamp in place, corners neat.
-
Historical data and popularity: Although the Rockets name attempted to convey a modern and "American" image, the brand failed to establish itself as a major player in the market. This type of package was more common in the period before 2010, but is now almost no longer accepted.
