These are praline or gift tins that Montblanc handed out to employees and good customers at Christmas; the tins are regularly in circulation and have no special rarity value. There were tins specifically tuned to the 164 ballpoint with matching pen insert, Montblanc paper and a service-guide compartment. In total, about 14 special Christmas tins as well as 2 boxes for 164 ballpoints are known. Such tins are also partly being remade and are occasionally available for around 10 euros.
