Old Gold is an American brand of cigarette owned and manufactured by the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.
Old Gold was introduced in 1926 by the Lorillard Tobacco Company and, upon release, would become one of its star products. By 1930, with the aid of a campaign from Lennen & Mitchell that featured exuberant flappers and the slogan "Not a cough in a carload", Old Gold won 7% of the market. During the 1930s, Lennen & Mitchell built the Old Gold brand on radio by advertising in music programming targeting young people.
Lorillad stopped advertising Old Gold around 1975.
