The King Original Blue cigarettes

The King Original Blue is a flagship cigarette brand produced by KT International SA, a tobacco company based in Bulgaria. Known for its American Blend flavor profile, the brand was established in 2009 to offer a modern, international smoking experience at an accessible price point.

The product is primarily manufactured at the company's state-of-the-art facility in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. This location is significant as Plovdiv has a long heritage in tobacco production, dating back to 1872. The brand has expanded its footprint across Europe and is now a recognized name in markets including Austria, Italy, France, and Germany.

Ownership resides with KT International SA, an independent European tobacco manufacturer. Unlike many legacy brands owned by global conglomerates, The King is managed and produced within Bulgaria, focusing on vertical integration from tobacco blending to global distribution.
