Description:
„Żubr Lights is a lighter, lower-strength version of the Polish-made Żubr brand of cigarettes. The pack is white with gold vertical lines, featuring a red bison logo and the words "Lights" in italics. The pack contains warnings in Polish about the diseases caused by smoking. The 2003 excise sticker indicates that this specimen dates from before Poland joined the EU (2004), and therefore has additional historical significance for collectors interested in the People's Republic of Poland and post-communist production.

Historical data and popularity: „Żubr was considered a budget product, but the name is deeply rooted in Polish tobacco history. Currently, packs are extremely rare on the market.
