The origin of camel cigarettes

1907, an old man dressed as a tourist strolled on the beach in Turkey. He was infected by this beautiful scenery full of oriental sentiment, and a smile appeared on his face, but it was hard to hide his anxiety and melancholy. This old man is Reynolds, the founder of Reynolds Tobacco Company in America. More than 30 years ago, he founded a tobacco company in Winston, North Carolina, and its business has been developing steadily for decades. But now the company is in trouble, many old customers have left him, and there are still many cigarettes in the warehouse. He came to Turkey alone, hoping that all his troubles could be blown away by the cool sea breeze, and he also hoped to gain something from the Turkish seaside rich in tobacco.

Suddenly, a ringing camel bell interrupted his meditation. Reynolds looked up and saw a camel team passing not far away. The huge camel holds its head high and looks so arrogant and noble. Reynolds was deeply impressed by the unique image of "the boat in the desert". Through Reynolds' efforts, he finally found his dream improved tobacco "Prince Albert", which is the latest variety with strong aroma cultivated by Turkish tobacco farmers for many years. Reynolds knew that it was not enough to have only good tobacco, but also a loud and eye-catching trademark. In his mind, the picture of camels passing by the beach reappeared.

19 13, a huge advertisement in Winston's downtown square appeared a pattern full of oriental sentiment: endless sand sea, Egyptian pyramids, verdant palm trees, and the most striking thing was a big camel with a high head. There is a big word on the billboard: "The famous barnum and Bailey Circus is coming to Winston, and the mysterious camel is coming". Camel portraits and advertisements and slogans with the words "camel, camel is coming" are also posted everywhere in the streets and alleys, which dazzles the citizens. The circus performance was very successful, especially the wonderful performance of camels conquered all the audience. Reynolds lost no time in presenting the new product "Camel" cigarettes to the audience. Many people who didn't get cigarettes also gathered in front of Reynolds Company, shouting "We want camels". After that, the reputation of "Camel" cigarette spread like wildfire and soon became a well-known cigarette.
