– Collectible value: Average. The 10-pack versions are less common than the standard 20-pack, so they are valued slightly higher among collectors. The regional Argentine edition also adds to the exclusivity.
– Condition assessment: Excellent - unopened, cellophane intact, label intact, colors still bright.
– Historical data and popularity: „Viceroy is one of the oldest brands of American origin, popular in South America, where local versions were also produced. The Filtro Dual series is an attempt to combine a classic image with an innovative filtration system, which makes these releases interesting as examples of technological experiments in tobacciana collections.
