Description:
„The “Trường Sơn„ cigarette pack is made in Vietnam and named after the famous mountain range that became symbolic due to the “Trường Sơn Trail„ (Ho Chi Minh Trail) during the Vietnam War. The design of the pack retains historical and patriotic features – the upper part depicts mountains and a red logo with socialist elements, and the lower part has a red background with the white inscription “THUỐC LÁ„ (cigarettes). The manufacturer is indicated on the back – “QUOC DOANH THANG LONG, HANOI – VIETNAM”. This is one of the examples of classic Vietnamese tobacco production, which has retained its authenticity and simple style.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Medium-high. This pack is not commercially available outside of Vietnam and is therefore rarely found in European markets. Due to its historical significance and the status of the producer, Thăng Long, it can be appreciated in the context of Asian tobacco collections.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, in good condition, with natural age-related darkening on the cellophane, but without mechanical damage.
-
Historical data and popularity: In Vietnam, it was one of the more affordable cigarettes, known by its national name. Due to the geopolitical situation, the pack is now considered a collector's rarity.
