context_page_description: Camel is an American brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company in the United States and by Japan Tobacco outside of the United States.
  Most current Camel cigarettes contain a blend of Turkish tobacco and Virginia tobacco. Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the city where R.J. Reynolds was founded, is nicknamed "Camel City" because of the brand's popularity.
context_section_description: The reverse sides of many packs or boxes of Camel cigarettes display variations of 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.
  In 2008, this was changed to:
  A master-crafted blend of only the finest hand-picked Samsun & Izmir Turkish tobaccos with a robust domestic tobacco blend creates Camel's distinctive flavor and world-class smoothness.
  The reverse side of the five "Turkish Blend" cigarettes display this message along with a description that differs depending on the blend:
  Turkish tobacco is the world's smoothest, most aromatic leaf. 
  The reverse side of unfiltered "soft pack" Camel cigarettes has displayed this text for many years, a theme also used by R. J. Reynolds in its advertising as early as 1915:
  Don't look for premiums or coupons, as the cost of the tobaccos blended in Camel Cigarettes prohibits the use of them.
  Or alternatively can be seen displaying the text (later removed from some packets with the introduction of health warning messages):
  Camel, a premium blend of the finest quality tobaccos, provides genuine smoking pleasure.
  The reverse side of unfiltered "soft pack" Camel cigarettes, produced by JT International reads:
  CAMEL cigarettes contain a blend of choice Turkish and American tobaccos to bring you full smoking satisfaction with CAMEL quality.
  Camel Wides, starting in 2008, began displaying this on the reverse side of the pack:
  The larger gauge of a Camel Wides cigarette makes for the smoothest, flavorful way to enjoy Camel's distinctive blend of the finest Turkish and Domestic tobaccos.
  In 2019 Camel Blue "hard pack", reverse side reads:
  Camel blends Turkish & Domestic tobaccos to create its signature flavor.
  In 2020 Camel Blue, started displaying this on the reverse side of the "hard pack":
  2020 - Why 20 Camels? - To celebrate 2020, of course. We don't know what this decade will bring. but we know for sure it'll be unconventional. Together, lets make it the best yet. Camel-rejecting ordinary since 1913. - camel.com
