The Collector's Choice Americana and Skyline series of cigarettes from Philip Morris were sold in a plastic container that the manufacturer called a Penta-Pak. These unusual Penta-Pak cartons contained five flip-top boxes totaling 100 cigarettes. Each of the packs had a different brand name and colorful pop art graphics. Collector's Choice was originally sold in select Southern California locations beginning December 1991. The stackable Penta-Paks were displayed on a retailer's counter, and advertising suggested that they were "a unique five pack gift assortment." A special tote bag with a rope handle allowed smokers to get their Penta-Pak home in style. After the limited area introductory launch, both series of Collector's Choice, and still in the Penta-Pak, were available through G. A. Andron catalog sales.
