USA Gold is a brand of cigarettes that was developed in a small factory in rural Kentucky about 12 years ago. It was started by a family that, among other things, grew tobacco on their farm and thought making inexpensive cigarettes with a quality image was a great idea. Over the years the factory and business grew ten fold and USA Gold cigarettes became a top 15 brand in the United States. USA Gold has continued to grow and due to the success of this high quality cigarette, the company and its flagship USA Gold cigarette brand have been acquired by one of the major tobacco companies.
