Description:
A delicately designed package, dominated by creamy white, complemented by subtle gold and red details. An elegant inscription is highlighted in the center Tekel Force, and below it – Extra Lights, indicating a lighter tobacco blend. Above is a five-star symbol and the word Premium provides a higher quality image. The lower part shows Tekel Sigara Fabrikalarina Üretimidir inscription ("Made in Tekel cigarette factories"), confirming the origin of state production.
The minimalist, refined design reflects TEKEL's efforts to modernize its image in the last years of production before privatization.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: medium → higher. The Tekel Fors series was one of TEKEL's last attempts to create a premium line before the sale of the factories in 2005, so these packs are becoming increasingly rare.
– Condition assessment: very good - unopened, original cellophane and 2005 excise stamp; some signs of storage visible on the surface.
– Historical data and popularity: „Fors was TEKEL's response to the dominance of international brands (e.g. Marlboro, L&M, Kent) in the Turkish market. Although the series was not exported in large quantities, it gained a reputation in the local market as an elegant and delicate product.
