This pack has a classic design - the top is red, the middle is dark blue with the logo, and the bottom is light with small print and information about the tobacco type: &quot;Fine Virginia Blend&quot;. The front and back have a health warning in Greek. The top has a Greek excise stamp - allowing for precise identification of the geographical market. This type of pack was common in Greek kiosks and supermarkets in the 2000s, and was later replaced by newer designs and larger health warnings after 2010.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1004\" \/>\n<p data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1029\"><strong data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1029\">Value assessment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1031\" data-end=\"1685\">\n<li data-start=\"1031\" data-end=\"1333\">\n<p data-start=\"1033\" data-end=\"1333\"><strong data-start=\"1033\" data-end=\"1053\">Collectible value:<\/strong> Average.
