Rothmans Gold King Size ( UK )


Rothmans Gold King Size ( UK )
I originally wanted to do videos , but have started a blog as i am having big trouble trying to upload them , anyway here is the first product i will rewiew , i have just been on holiday so have some others to do i smoked some there so theres not as many as i would have liked but still onto the review

Overview.

Rothmans have been around for many years they had big sponsorship in many motersports such as F1 and Bike Racing , they also sponserd a big Horse race in if i remember correctly South Africa called the ( rothmans ) July . They have always had a sort of luxury image , they were advertised with people smoking them on their own private boats ect... . At one point they were the strongest filterd cigs in the UK . Not to long ago with prices going up and up due to higher taxes in the uk , British American Tobacco ( BAT) decided to make a budget version of Rothmans to give a cheap smoke with a reassuring name is along the lines of what they said when announcing them.
Price

I have just been away to Zante and it was nice to not worry about price as all cigs there were around 3 or 4 euros , a friend got two packs of Lambert & Butler for nearly the price of 1 pack of 20 here in the uk. but here in the UK , price is a worry and these don't do that as for 20 there just £5.73 so there one of the lowest priced in the UK . No matter what there like for the price you cant knock them
Packaging 
For a budget brand it has lovely packaging , it gives off a look of luxury, i wont go into details but it keeps the iconic look of the original blue ones , and it stands out it, it dose have a nice look to it ill give it a 9/10 as it dose seem to copy the original blues it would be nice if it was just different from them but still very well packaged . There also a similar shape to silk cuts packs
The cig.

plain looking just says Rothmans on it and a silver band 10mg tar 1.0mg nicotine 10mg carbon monoxide , due to E.U regulations its the strongest we can have , but there not that harsh , they taste good to. Good tobacco for a budget brand , good nicotine rush you can feel the head rush , normally budget produce a awful taste but these are probably the best budget cigs i have ever had they get a bit stronger as you get to the end like most cigs they leave a nice aftertaste aswell i can not complain at all there wonderful for the price for the price there a most try i cannot recommend them enough for the price they deliver on there promise on the back of the pack to " deliver quality taste without compromise" they are a fantastic editon to the Rothmans  name BAT have produced a worthy edition to the product line without damaging the name of the original blue Rothmans





Rating.
9/10 a little light to start gets stronger towards the end of the cig. but for the price they are 10/10 so ill go for a 9.5/10

  1. Been in the UK for a few months from South Africa (where cigarettes are cheaper than toilet paper by a long margin) and these are now my preferred choice after paying exhorbitant amounts (never more than 6 GBP though) for real crap. Tough to find them though, I'm going to buy a carton online now for that reason.
