There are numerous cigarette brands out there, too many to count and each brand has their own group of loyal buyers. But if you have to pick one brand which satisfies the majority of the people, not in specific areas, but throughout the world then what would your pick be. In my smoking experience and from the information gathered from my friends, I would most probably pick Camel cigarettes as the most smoked brand. This conclusion is not without reasons and there are too many of them to state here. I will just give a small history, description and the merits of this brand.
Camel Cigarettes were first introduced to public by R.J. Reynolds, the founder of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. The brand was rolled out in the year 1913 and as soon as it was introduced it made a huge impact in the cigarette market. The creator of the brand always wanted to make a brand which was better than any other brand. He succeeded in his goals by creating Camel cigarettes.
Prior to its introduction many people preferred to roll their own cigarettes and there wasn't any demand for prepackaged cigarettes. This trend changed after the release of Camel Cigarette, this product was hugely successful and the company managed to sell 425 million packs of Camel cigarettes within a year. Camel cigarettes are currently made from a blend of Virginia tobacco and Turkish tobacco.
During the first half of the 20th century, people generally preferred strong flavored cigarettes and Camel cigarettes were considered to be mild when compared to those standards. But nowadays the preference has changed; people now prefer milder and smoother smokes. So the brand which was once considered as light and mild is now labeled as a strong and rich flavored brand. So to attract people of all preferences, Camel cigarette has introduced many varieties with different tastes, strength and flavors. Camel cigarettes are available in a variety of flavors like Platinum, gold, Silver (lights), Menthol Green Wides (lights), Turkish Silver (Ultra lights blend) etc. Menthol capsule varieties are also available in the markets which contain a bead that is filled with menthol liquid, which gives the smoker an additional flavor of menthol. Again different varieties like Mellow, Robust, Winter chill, etc. are available in the markets worldwide.
