Camel is an iconic brand of tobacco originally introduced in 1913 by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company in the United States. It became world-famous for its 'American Blend,' which combines Virginia and Turkish tobaccos. This specific 'Volume Tobacco' variant is designed for consumers who roll their own cigarettes (Make-Your-Own), as it is expanded to provide more volume per gram, allowing for more cigarettes to be filled compared to standard rolling tobacco.
In 1999, the brand's international rights were sold to Japan Tobacco, leading to a split ownership structure that persists today. While the brand remains owned and manufactured by R.J. Reynolds (now a subsidiary of British American Tobacco) within the United States, all international operations—including production and distribution in Europe, Asia, and other regions—are managed by Japan Tobacco International (JTI).
Manufacturing for international markets like the European Union is conducted at various JTI facilities across the globe, including significant sites in Germany, Poland, and Turkey. The brand continues to be a flagship in the global tobacco industry, maintaining its heritage while adapting to modern consumer preferences for different tobacco formats and reduced-risk alternatives.
