Description:<\/strong>
\u201eKingston Export \u2013 a cigarette pack with a classic British design, designed for exclusively for export<\/strong>, which is clearly indicated by the inscription \u201e"FOR EXPORT ONLY"\u201c<\/strong> on the back side.
The aesthetics of the package are minimalist, yet solid: the top part is bright red, the bottom part is creamy white with the brand name "Kingston" written in an elegant font. Above the brand name is a coat of arms with two lions, symbolizing British origin and quality.
It says "KING SIZE FILTER" on the sides, and the manufacturer's addresses are on the bottom: London \u2013 Paris \u2013 New York<\/strong>, which was a typical marketing detail of the period, emphasizing international prestige.<\/p>\n

Value assessment:<\/strong>
\u2013 Collectible value:<\/strong> Medium-High. Kingston Export packs have become sought after by collectors due to their clear "export edition" markings and bold yet classic British aesthetic. As this edition was produced in limited quantities for export to Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, it is rare to find.
\u2013 Condition assessment:<\/strong> Excellent - the package is sealed with the original film, the colors are not faded, the corners are clean. Small stains on the back indicate the age of storage, but this is of minimal importance for the collector's value.
\u2013 Historical data:<\/strong> \u201ePremier Tobacco Industries Ltd. was one of the few private British tobacco companies to produce cigarettes for export to markets outside of British American Tobacco. The Kingston brand was known for its smooth, balanced tobacco blend and visual resemblance to the Player's Navy Cut or Embassy of the era.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
