Kurt Cobain's pack of cigarettes became the most expensive ever sold.
Another item belonging to the Nirvana vocalist was auctioned in the same lot. A pack of American Spirit cigarettes fetched a total of $5,200 (R$25,405), being considered "the most expensive pack" ever sold.
The pack of menthol cigarettes was never opened by Cobain and remained unopened for the last 20 years. The item stayed with the vocalist's roommate at the Exodus rehabilitation center in Los Angeles, where Kurt stayed in March 1994, just days before committing suicide.
