Description: This pack of Royale Menthol Extra Longue cigarettes has an elegant and classic design, with gold and green colors. The front part depicts a ship, symbolizing the prestige or history of the brand, and at the top is an emblem with the text "Fabriqué en France". The "Extra longue" inscription indicates that the cigarettes are longer than standard, which gave an impression of luxury in the European markets of the late 20th century. Although the pack is intact and with the original cellophane protection, the back side shows creasing and small signs of deformation typical of older soft packs.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: High. This is a rare menthol release from France, aimed at the "extra long" segment - this is very attractive to collectors, especially those looking for European soft packs from the 80s-90s.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, original packaging, but due to deformations (wrinkled cellophane, damage to the bottom) - it is rated as good, but not ideal condition.
-
Historical data and popularity: „Royale cigarettes were made in France and had a certain prestige image. The menthol variants were less common, and the extra longue was a very specific and limited format, so these packs are valued much higher on the collector's market than the standard ones.
