Camel CigarettesCamel is the name of a brand of cigarettes introduced by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco (RJR) in 1913. It was for many years known for its high quality and smoothness. Camels contain a unique Turkish and American tobacco blend. The reverse sides of most packs or boxes of Camel cigarettes display the following text: Turkish tobacco is the world's smoothest, most aromatic leaf. Blending it with more robust domestic tobaccos is the secret to Camel's distinctive flavor and world-class smoothness. Camel cigarettes come in the following varieties: - Filters (King Size and 100s)
- Lights (King Size and 100s)
- Ultra Lights (King Size and 100s)
- Menthol
- Menthol Lights
- Regular (unfiltered)
- Camel Rare
- Special Lights (King Size and 100s)
- Turkish Jade
- Turkish Gold
- Turkish Royal
- Camel Reds
- Camel Reds Lights
In 2005 Camel has started re-doing the turkish flavors, by adding the name on the rolling paper, and changing the filter color and disign. Many other special flavors are available as well, in tins. In late 1987, RJR created Joe Camel as its mascot for the brand. In 1991, the American Medical Association published a report stating that 5- and 6-year olds could more easily recognize Joe Camel than Mickey Mouse or Fred Flintstone. This led the association to ask RJR to pull the Joe Camel campaign. RJR declined, but further appeals followed in 1993 and 1994. On July 10, 1997, the Joe Camel campaign was retired and replaced with a more adult campaign. The camel in the logo is of the dromedary variety.
