This classic design pack with green and silver colors represents a period when the market valued a clean, \u201efresh\u201c style. The inscription \u201eFresh Smooth Taste\u201c emphasizes the menthol properties, while the company logo has maintained a minimalist but recognizable visual identity. This is one of the most popular export variants, often found in products intended for the US or Asian markets.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"868\" data-end=\"871\" \/>\n<p data-start=\"873\" data-end=\"896\"><strong data-start=\"873\" data-end=\"896\">Value assessment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"898\" data-end=\"1607\">\n<li data-start=\"898\" data-end=\"1154\">\n<p data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"1154\"><strong data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"920\">Collectible value:<\/strong> Medium-high.
