Description:
„Sky King Size is a pack of economy-class cigarettes for the UK market, specially packaged for the SPAR retail chain. The pack features a blue sky motif, conveying an impression of cleanliness and lightness. The front side is dominated by the white Sky logo with the inscription "King Size", as well as a clearly marked warning about the harms of smoking. The price - 184 pence - is printed in several places, typical of UK packs of that period. On the back side, a health warning is presented in the name of EC Ministers - this is also a characteristic mark of late 1990s production.

Historical data and popularity: „The Sky brand was not widely known outside the UK and was aimed at the budget segment. Similar types of packages were mass-produced, so this unit is not particularly rare, but is considered valuable as a collection addition due to its geographical and period specificity.
