Old Gold Gold Filter King Box is a king-size filtered cigarette sold in a crush-proof hard box. Manufactured by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Old Gold is one of America's classic cigarette brands, originally introduced in 1926 and expanded to include filtered varieties in 1957. The Gold Filter variety features the brand's signature gold and yellow packaging with red scripted lettering. King-size filtered cigarettes are designed for a smoother draw compared to non-filtered varieties.
