Description:
Trend "Super Lights" - a white and blue hard cigarette pack, typical of the Baltic region's production after the 1990s. The design is minimalist, clear, dominated by blue, emphasizing the "light" version of the product. The front side features a prominent heraldic logo and inscription NEW FORMULA RICH AMERICAN BLEND, indicating the desire to create an American-style tobacco blend for the local market. At the bottom of the pack, the inscription „SUITSETAMINE KAHJUSTAB TERVIST!“ (smoking is harmful to health) is written in Estonian, which clearly indicates the permit for the Estonian market. At the top, an excise sticker with the Estonian state emblem and the inscription MAXIMUMÄRK (tax stamp). The package is unopened, the foil is in place, the corners are slightly worn, but the overall visual condition is very good.
