Smoking Experience
The Gold variant delivers a rich, woody smoke with slightly sweet undertones. The draw is firm but consistent, producing thick smoke that lingers. Burn time averages 6-7 minutes for a king size.
Special Filter versions feature a recessed design that cools the smoke noticeably. The tobacco blend seems identical to the Gold, but the altered airflow creates a smoother experience.
Regional Variations
Asian market Benson & Hedges tend to be slightly milder than the original UK versions. Malaysian-produced variants incorporate more local leaf, while Japanese versions maintain the traditional British profile.
