Description
Bright red, minimalist design package with a Japanese symbol at the top ("侍" - means samurai).
A diagonal silver line crosses the central part - like the mark of a sword stroke, symbolizing honor, discipline, and strength.
The name is written vertically below it. SAMURAI, and at the bottom - subtle inscriptions in Russian.
The side also features a Japanese hieroglyph on a gold background.
This package is one of „Nevo Tabak's most creative experiments, with the aim of creating an oriental-themed, modern brand for the Russian market. Due to the simplicity and aesthetics of its design, it stands out from the Russian tobacco products of that era.
