Description: Rocky Gold Star is an American-style cigarette produced by the Afghan state monopoly. The pack is decorated with a classic red and white color scheme, with a central heraldic emblem depicting a lion and the letter "R". The names of the major cities "New York - London - Paris" are inscribed on the top, as well as the inscription "Crush Proof" (misspelled "Crush Proof"), indicating the reinforced packaging. The design aims to create the image of a Western product, although it is a regional Afghan product.
