They belong to 10best-selling cigarette brands. Camel Cigarettes were harmonized in a way to be smoked considerably easier in contrast to the much harsher brands popular in the period of their introduction. Balanced nicotine content and a smooth taste make Camel Cigarettes a classic that will never run away. Nowadays we enjoy the taste of Camel Filters Cigarettes, Camel Mild Cigarettes, Camel Lights Cigarettes and Camel Super Lights cigarettes. It's interesting that though it's considered that the Camel image on the pack is of Egyptian origin, Turkish archives say it is a symbol of gratitude of Americans to Turkish for their 34 camels' donation to American Army in 1854. But R.J. Reynolds could hardly remember that in 1913, introducing Camel as his first major cigarette brand. Interesting facts. Camel cigarettes were advance promoted, prior to official release, by a careful advertising campaign that included "teasers" which stated that "the Camels are coming" .This marketing style was, in fact, a prototype for attempts to sway public opinion that coincided with the United States' entry into the First World War, and later the Second World War. Another promotion strategy was the use of a Circus camel, 'Old Joe', which was driven through town and used to distribute free cigarettes. Old Joe was used as the model for the camel on the package. News broadcaster Edward R. Murrow smoked up to four packs of Camel regulars per day, in effect using a Camel cigarette as his trademark. Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the city where R.J.R. was founded, was nicknamed "Camel City" at one time because of the brand's popularity. From 1972-1993, Camel was the title sponsor of the popular auto racing series. It also sponsored the Lotus Formula One team and in the nineties, sponsored the factory Honda team in the AMA Superbike series.
