BRIEF HISTORY OF CAMEL CIGARETTES
Camels were launched in the USA in 1913 by the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.
Camel was the first cigarette brand in the U.S. to implement a blend of Burley, Turkish and Virginia tobaccos, which demonstrated to be tremendously popular among the smoking society.
Until the 1950s, Camel was considered to be the top- or second-selling brand.
Old Joe was chosen as the model for the camel on the package. Old Joe was of Egyptian origin, Turkish archives laid the challenge to that the camel on the package represents gratitude by the American citizens to the Turkish for the latter’s gift of 34 camels to the American Army in 1854.
From 1972-1993, Camel cigarette brand was the primary sponsor of the famous International Motor Sports Association auto racing series named the Camel GT. It also financed the Lotus Formula One team from 1987 to 1991, and the Benneton and Williams teams from 1991 to 1993. Also during 1990s, Camel was the sponsor of the factory Honda team in the AMA Superbike series and the Supercross Championships.
