History

Camel cigarettes were introduced in the United States in 1913 by the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. A pioneering brand in the American marketplace, it became Reynolds' first major cigarette brand and the first nationally marketed cigarette in the United States. It was the first cigarette in the United States to use a blend of Turkish, Virginia, and Burley tobaccos, which proved to be enormously popular with the smoking public and would spawn many competitors (the first of which, Lucky Strike, was introduced in 1916).

One part of Camel's success was the combination of high quality tobaccos along with the brand's low price (originally 20 cents for a package of 20). Until the 1950s, Camels were consistently the top- or second-selling brand (Lucky Strikes being their nearest competition). Indeed, the city of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where the R. J. Reynolds factory was located, was nicknamed "Camel City" owing to the brand's popularity. Their blend was harmonized in a way that provided a balanced nicotine content and which smoked considerably easier in contrast to the much harsher brands popular in the 1910s and 1920s.

Before their official launch, Reynolds launched a careful advertising campaign incorporating 'teasers' which stated that "the Camels are coming!" This new marketing style was, in fact, a prototype for attempts to sway public opinion and to generate excitement. Another promotional strategy employed was the use of a circus camel, named Old Joe, which was driven through towns and villages by men who distributed free cigarettes.

Old Joe was used as the model for the camel on the package. It's interesting to note that though Old Joe was of Egyptian origin, Turkish archives make the claim that the camel on the package is a symbol of gratitude by the Americans to the Turkish for the latter's donation of 34 camels to the American Army in 1854.

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.

Nowadays, Camel cigarettes represent three different families of flavor--Classic, Turkish, and Exotic Blends. The Classic styles, which represent the bulk of the brand's business, offer rich tobacco taste. Camel cigarettes' Turkish family offers smooth and mellow versions of the brand's distinctive flavor. Camel Exotic Blends, a line of premium-priced, limited-edition luxury blends, offer adult smokers indulgent taste signatures.

Camel is today one of the top five global cigarette brands, sold in over 90 countries worldwide.
