Description:
TEMP is a brand of flavored cigarettes, the name of which means "tempo" (speed, rhythm). The pack is decorated with bilingual text: Russian (ТЕМП) and Romanian (TEMP), which indicates that the product was intended for export or for the general Eastern European consumer. The design is minimalist - white background, red and gold details, heraldic symbols. The pack has retained its original cellophane layer, although signs of aging (stains, oxidation) are visible in some places.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Medium-high. TEMP cigarette packs are rare, especially in this condition (unopened, with cellophane). The export marking in two languages provides additional value, indicating a limited market.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, but there are superficial signs of aging (spotting), so the condition would be rated as "good" but not "ideal".
-
Historical data and popularity: The TEMP brand existed during the Soviet era, and is mostly known in Eastern Europe. Collectors value such examples as a model of the Soviet tobacco industry, especially in the niche of flavored cigarettes.
