Description:<\/strong>
This is extremely rare. \u201eTobacco Filter King Size\u201c<\/strong> cigarette pack, specially made Sierra Leone<\/strong> market, as indicated by a clear inscription above the name \u2013 \u201cMade for sale in Sierra Leone\u201d<\/em>. The packaging design is simple yet expressive: brightly red background<\/strong> with a contrasting white and black circle logo depicting a stylized cigarette and the inscription TOBACCO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The minimalist design and simple layout are typical of smaller regional African manufacturers working under local licensing agreements with larger tobacco companies. At the time, in the 1970s and 1980s, this type of packaging was intended for both local sales and export to surrounding countries (Liberia, Guinea, Nigeria).<\/p>\n

The inscription is visible on the side of the package \u201cFilter\u201d<\/em> and \u201cKing Size Cigarettes\u201d<\/em>, suggesting that it was an attempt to compete with international brands such as Rothmans or Benson & Hedges.<\/p>\n

This specimen is distinguished by the fact that Cigarette packs from Sierra Leone are extremely rare on the collector's market<\/strong>, because the country has never had a large tobacco industry, and most of the production was destroyed during the civil war of the 1990s.<\/p>\n
