Description:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A distinctively designed pack with a black base and white and gold accents. In the center is the signature Black Death logo: a skull with a top hat and the brand name written in a distinctive font. A minimalistic but extremely striking visual solution created one of the most recognizable cigarette packages of the late 20th century.
The gold frames provide contrast, while the sides feature information about the Premium Blend tobacco blend. This design has caused quite a bit of debate over the name and symbolism, and has been banned in some countries as "too provocative.".<\/p>\n
