Description: This pack of Viceroy Lights cigarettes features a minimalist, modern design – a white background with blue geometric accents. The front of the pack clearly states the „Lights“ version. On the left side is the inscription „British American Tobacco“, indicating the manufacturer. On the bottom of the pack are health warnings in Russian: „КУРЕНИЕ – ПРИЧИНА РАКОВЫХ ЗАБОЛЕВАНИЙ“ and „КУРЕНИЕ – ПРИЧИНА СМЕРТЕЛЬНЫХ ЗАБОЛЕВАНИЙ“ (lit. „Smoking is the cause of cancer/fatal diseases“). The top part retains an authentic Belarusian excise stamp with the inscription „Министерство финансов РБ“ and the text in Belarusian „АКЦЫЗЫ ТУНЭЛЬНЫЯ ВЫРАБЫ“. The pack is unopened, in collector’s condition.
Value assessment:
Collectible value: Average. Viceroy is a global brand, but this particular issue from Belarus with a local label and warnings has regional collectible value, especially for collectors of CIS packages.
Condition assessment: Unopened, very good condition, with original label.
Historical data and popularity: Viceroy was a popular brand in the CIS countries and Eastern Europe, produced under license from British American Tobacco. This edition with the Belarusian marking is now rare and no longer available on the market.
