Description:
This Virginia Slims Superslims Menthol pack is aimed at a female audience – narrow, elegant design, with a vertical colored decorative accent. Light, pastel colors dominate, and the minimalist font conveys sophistication. The inscription „Light in taste“ and „Menthol“ indicate the type of menthol cigarette with a light taste. The package is marked with a Russian special excise mark, which allows it to be dated to 2010. period, when such markings were common. The inscriptions in Russian confirm that this pack was intended for the domestic Russian market.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average.

Historical data and popularity: Virginia Slims is an American brand, but this pack was manufactured (or licensed branded) in Russia. The brand is popular among female smokers, but limited editions or older releases (e.g. 1980-1990) are of greater interest to collectors. However, such packs from Russia with original old excise stamps are increasingly entering the collector's market.
