Japan Tobacco International is releasing limited edition packages of its bestselling Camel cigarette brand. The dynamic-looking packages of Camel Blue brand will be offered on its king size 10’s & 20’s package formats.

Introduced in 1913, Camel is a smooth tasting American blend cigarette marketed in over 110 countries throughout the world. Offered from October 1 2022, the new style will help strengthen Camel’s place in the premium cigarette segment.
While preserving exactly the same quality smooth tasting American tobacco mixture that has become associated with the brand, the house modernization will offer a modern design that present adult Camel smokers expect to have.

Jeremy Blackburn, JTI head of communications stated: “Camel cigarettes is a long-standing accomplishment story within the premium cigarette segment. Keeping about 17.1% share of the Ready Made Cigarette (RMC) tobacco market, the premium segment continues to be considerable for retailers and this house modernization involving both the 10s and 20s package sizes will further more fortify retailer chance for good margins.”

“The limited edition packages are created to celebrate Camel’s on-going creativeness, vibrancy and creativity,” Jeremy Blackburn added.

Camel package Compared to current cigarette pack design, Camels artwork stand out as unspeakably exotic. It is possible the speculation about the naked man on the cigarette pack stems from the comparison of the ornate look of the Camels’ artwork to the austere and streamlined forms of other current brands. A pack of Camels, these days, looks far different from its neighbors in the cigarette rack at the store, but that wasn’t always the case. Other brands no longer on the marketplace also featured ornately overdrawn images.

The Camel logo printed on each package is an American icon, part of the nation’s history since 1913. Notice the camel’s foreleg. There is a little man standing in the foreleg, looking to the right, his hand on his right hip, the elbow protruding to his side. His facial features are defined, as is his erect penis which protrudes in front of him. The Camel man in the foreleg turns out to be a dickie waver — quite a different image from that featured over so many years in Camel ads as the symbolic hero camped in the wilderness, a loner, a man free from the impediments and obligations of civilization.

Why name this brand of cigarettes after an exotic animal, the like of which most people in 1913 would not see with their own eyes during their lifetimes?

The brand came by its unusual name and romantic packaging due to that era’s mania for all things Egyptian. The camel and pyramids were pure Egypt and thus filled with mystery, but it wasn’t just the allure of faraway places which drew people in Victorian symbol, things Egyptian were inextricably linked to mortality. Such images were also linked to empire and power, especially since Napoleon’s sacking of the Nile. The pyramids had influenced entire schools of sepulchral and imperial design, so it’s not unreasonable they would influence a ground-breaking new brand of cigarettes.

Surrogate Tobacco Ads Banned

Tuesday, April 5th, 2018

camel onlineThe Union Health Ministry has decided to clamp down on surrogate advertisements of tobacco products and Camel and other brands. The ministry claims the advertisement of paan masala promotes other harmful tobacco products as well. It will now approach the Information and Broadcasting (I&B) Ministry to stop these advertisements.

The ministry has already imposed restrictions on the direct advertising of tobacco products.

“The advertisements of simple paan masalas should also be banned as they promote other tobacco products sold in the same brand name,” said a senior official in the Health Ministry. Senior officials of both ministries will meet on Wednesday to take a call on the matter.

The ministry has cited the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco products (Prohibition of advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Act to ban surrogate advertisements of tobacco product.
