Description:<\/strong>
\u201e"Elita" - classic higher quality Soviet cigarettes, produced during the Latvian SSR. The design is minimal, elegant - a light background with thin horizontal lines and a red stripe at the top of the pack. The name "Elita" is presented in a handwritten style, symbolizing a prestigious image. The inscription "AUGST\u0100K\u0100 LABUMA CIGARETES AR FILTRU" ("highest quality cigarettes with a filter") indicates a premium class product during the USSR period. On the side, you can see the usual price tag - "30 kopecks", corresponding to the higher class segment.<\/p>\n

Value assessment:<\/strong>
Collectible value:<\/strong> Medium-high. This package is a great example of Soviet design culture from the Baltic region. Since the Elita was considered a more luxurious product, rather than mass-produced like the Belomor or Kosmos, it is of interest to collectors as a representative example from the Latvian SSR.
Condition assessment:<\/strong> Unopened, cellophane wrapped, very good condition (light corner dents due to age).
Historical data and popularity:<\/strong> \u201e"Elita" was one of the few cigarettes produced in the Baltic republics, distinguished by its high-quality tobacco and elegant packaging design. In the collector's community, this pack is considered a typical "high-end" product of the USSR with a regional accent.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
