Camel Cigarette Prices by Country (2026)

Brand Details Camel

Camel is one of the oldest and most iconic cigarette brands in the world, launched in 1913 by R.J. Reynolds. Its distinctive packaging featuring a camel before pyramids — inspired by a Barnum & Bailey's Circus camel — is one of the most recognisable in the industry. Camel was the first brand to popularise the blend of Turkish and American tobacco, creating what became known as the 'American blend.' In the 1980s-90s, the brand used the controversial Joe Camel mascot, a cartoon camel deemed too appealing to minors by health authorities. Now owned by Japan Tobacco International for international markets, Camel remains one of Europe's top-selling brands.
