Golden Virginia Original Hand Rolling Tobacco

Golden Virginia is a renowned hand-rolling tobacco brand that originated in the United Kingdom in 1877. Manufactured by Imperial Tobacco Limited, it is a blend of fine-cut Virginia, burley, and oriental tobaccos. The brand is primarily produced in Nottingham, England, but also has manufacturing facilities in other locations. Golden Virginia is sold in over 35 markets, predominantly in Western Europe, with key markets including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Spain, and Luxembourg. In 2013, the 'Original' blend was rebranded as 'Golden Virginia Classic,' while the milder 'GV Smooth' became 'GV Yellow.' In 2017, following EU regulations, the brand adopted plain packaging, and the 'Smooth' variant was renamed 'G V Bright Yellow.' As of April 2019, the name reverted to 'Golden Virginia Yellow,' aligning with its original branding. The brand is owned by Imperial Brands PLC, a British multinational tobacco company headquartered in Bristol, England. Imperial Brands PLC is one of the world's largest tobacco companies, with a diverse portfolio of brands and a global presence in the tobacco industry.
