Question from Sumit regarding cheap cigarettes, Texas:

I got Camels made by JTI. Are they fake?

Answerd by the Editorial Staff of SmokeNews.com - how to buy cheap cigarettes online:

No. JTI is Japan Tobacco International, which is the third largest tobacco manufacturer in the world. JTI bought the international rights for the Camel brand back in 1999 from RJReynolds, Winston-Salem, SC, USA. RJR distributes Camels in the USA only. JTI is the official producer & brand owner for the rest of the world.

Camel 1993 Cigarette Ad

Winston cigarettes

- Tastes good like a cigarette should!

The SmokePool dis-advantage!

SALEM is the world's largest selling menthol cigarette and is particularly strong in the Far East markets. Note: although Salem belongs to RJReynolds, international operations are now owned by Japan Tobacco (JTI). So the Salems you get in Europe or the Far East are made by JTI while the ones in the USA are from RJR. Both types are genuine and made out of high-quality tobacco.

Now let me tell you why it is called "Salem":
Salem got it's name from the city of Winston-Salem; in fact, the names of RJR's "Winston" and "Salem" brands are a reflection of their roots in this community. RJReynolds is headquatered at Winston-Salem in North Carolina.

And last but not least here is a funny fact on Salem:
The American slogan for Salem cigarettes, "Salem - Feeling Free", got translated in the Japanese market into "When smoking Salem, you feel so refreshed that your mind seems to be free and empty".

There are two main varities of Salem Menthol Lights and Salem Menthol Regular

Quote from eSmokes.com website:
IMP

Sometime in 1986, Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. decided to create a "niche" market by developing the slimmest cigarette manufactured to date.

The first Capri packaging billed these ultra-slim cigarettes as "Trim & Light". Having a circumference of 17mm, Capri was much slimmer than standard cigarettes (at 25mm), and even slimmer than other "slim" varieties (at 21-23mm).

The slimmer cigarettes meant a change in the way they were placed in the pack. Regular and slim cigarettes are normally packed as 20 cigarettes in 3 rows, in a 7-6-7 configuration. Capri's slimness called for the 20 cigarettes to be packed in 2 rows of ten. The resulting pack was just slightly wider than other slim packs, but not as thick!
