Tobacco Product

Description:
RJ Reynolds introduced the modern American Cigarette with Camel in 1913. Combining a unique blend (flu cured, barley, Turkish & Maryland tobaccos) with a mass media campaign instead of cards & coupons, the brand sold for 10 cents instead of 15 cents for a pack of 20. The 70mm unfiltered Camel packs sold in the U.S. still carry the original legend on the back "Don't look for premiums or coupons, as the cost of the tobaccos blended in CAMEL cigarettes prohibits the use of them". The packs in display date from 1945 (wartime paper) and from 1993.
