The original American blend, and still the one with the most Turkish leaf in it.

Our notes

Camel is the more interesting of the two American giants. The Turkish component gives the smoke an unmistakable slightly sour, resinous edge that no competitor has tried to copy in a century, and it develops rather than flattening as the stick burns.

It divides people, which is exactly what we want from a review subject.

What works

Blend develops through the stick
Genuinely different from every other mass-market blend

What does not

Tar and nicotine are the manufacturer or market-label declarations, measured by machine under ISO conditions. They do not describe what any individual smoker inhales.

Smoking kills. A high reader rating means people who smoke it like it. It does not mean it is safe, and no cigarette in this catalogue is safer than any other.
