Description:<\/strong>
\u201eBenson & Hedges Classic is a symbol of the classic British tobacco tradition, and in this version comes with clear Australian branding. The gold background of the pack remains the main visual mark across the B&H line - a reflection of luxury, tradition and quality.<\/p>\n

On the main side \u2013 a red rectangle with white lettering Benson & Hedges<\/em> and a golden coat of arms at the top. At the bottom is the word Classic<\/em>, kept in a minimalist style. The package is covered with shiny gold foil, which gives the impression of solidity. This version is intended for the Australian market, as confirmed by the manufacturer's instructions - The Benson & Hedges Co. Pty Ltd<\/em> and warnings in English specific to Australian health labelling standards.<\/p>\n

The top part reads "SMOKING WHEN PREGNANT HARMS YOUR BABY" with a detailed explanation at the back - typical of the Australian period before the introduction of graphic labeling (until around 2012).<\/p>\n

Value assessment:<\/strong>
\u2013 Collectible value:<\/strong> medium \u2013 the Australian edition is interesting due to its specific markings, but the Benson & Hedges design itself is very widespread. However, Classic<\/em> version is notable in that it was the last year before grey packaging in Australia, so these copies already take on archival significance.
\u2013 Condition assessment:<\/strong> very good \u2013 full film, clear printing, corners intact.
\u2013 Historical data:<\/strong> \u201eBenson & Hedges production in Australia was overseen by British American Tobacco Australia. This design was transitional \u2013 retaining the classic British style but adapting it to local legal requirements.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
