Old Holborn is a historic brand of hand-rolling tobacco that originated in the United Kingdom. Named after Holborn, a district in Central London where it was first produced in the 18th century, the brand has become one of the most recognized tobacco labels globally. The 'Blonde' variant, as shown in the image, is a lighter, more aromatic blend compared to the original dark Virginia variety.

Today, the brand is owned by Japan Tobacco Inc. (JTI), one of the largest international tobacco companies. While the brand has British roots, its manufacturing now takes place in several locations across Europe and Asia to serve various international markets. The packaging in the image features Bulgarian health warnings, indicating it was distributed for the Bulgarian market through local subsidiaries of the JTI group.

As a global brand, Old Holborn's ownership transitioned from its original family creators to larger conglomerates throughout the 20th century before being acquired by JTI during their purchase of Gallaher Group in 2007.
