Description:<\/strong>
\u201eMerit Filter 100's is a classic American pack from Philip Morris, featuring a typical modernist design from the 1970s and 1980s. The main background is a soft cream color, crossed by two diagonal color stripes: chocolate brown and bright yellow. This contrast gives the package energy and dynamism. At the top is the text in dark serif font MERIT<\/strong>, below it in smaller letters \u2013 \u201eFilter\u201c. In the center \u2013 the Philip Morris coat of arms with the initials PM<\/strong>, emphasizing the brand's affiliation with one of the largest tobacco concerns. The lower part indicates \u2013 100's<\/strong> and \u201eLow tar \u2013 enriched flavor\u201c, with a typical US health warning on the side. This edition is distinguished by its minimalist, clean-lined design, typical of a period when manufacturers sought to emphasize the \u201escientific\u201c image of low tar content.<\/p>\n

Value assessment:<\/strong>
\u2013 Collectible value:<\/strong> average. Merit was one of Philip Morris' most popular brands, so packs are not particularly rare, but 100's format editions, especially intact ones, are more prized.
\u2013 Condition assessment:<\/strong> good \u2013 the package is unopened, the original cellophane is intact, but there are visible minor storage stains and spot stains on the surface.
\u2013 Historical data and popularity:<\/strong> \u201eMerit was introduced in 1976 as a low-tar alternative for a health-conscious audience. In the 1990s, it became one of Philip Morris' core product lines, with its unique science-based marketing (flavor through science).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
