Description:
This Virginia Slims Lights pack features a soft, pastel-colored design with vertical lines of beige, brown, and red on the left side of the pack. The font is elegant, feminine, with the „VS“ logo in the upper right corner. At the bottom, it says „FILTER“ and „20 CIGARRILLOS RUBIOS – INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA“. It is obvious that this is a pack intended for the Hispanic market – the warning „El fumar es prejudicial para la salud“ and the inscription „SOLO PARA ADULTOS“ are visible. At the top, the original Argentine excise sticker is visible with the inscription „IMP. INT. LEY 24.674“ or „Código Nº 25“, confirming that the product is intended for the legal Argentine market.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. Although Virginia Slims is a widely known brand, this design with unique color bands is not very common, and the regional edition (Argentina) with an authentic excise stamp increases its appeal to collectors, especially in women's cigarette collections.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, very good condition - film intact, package undamaged, surface clean.
-
Historical data and popularity: Virginia Slims were one of the most popular cigarette brands among women, especially during the 1990s and 2000s. This variant, with its vertical stripes and smooth design, is one of the rarer styles released for the regional market.
