The tobacco blend, the size, the filter tip, the package, the carton and the advertising, a Reynolds spokesman said, were all designed to appeal to the woman smoker. Packaging innovations with a special appeal to women include a package that is half-way between the normal soft pack and a flip-top box, a self-locking flap that closes over the cigarettes to keep loose tobacco from falling out in purses, and embossing that gives the entire package the feel of a fabric cigarette case

Remaining unopened and factory sealed, the packet offers an exceptional level of authenticity, making it a highly desirable piece for WWII collectors and social-history enthusiasts alike
