Actually Camel Filter is the first filter line of Camel cigarettes. When Camel was first introduced on the market in 1913, the cigarettes were unfiltered and the package was soft. However in 50′s when scientific studies about the possible adverse effect of smoking were published, manufacturers started to add filters to their cigarettes in order to provide filtration of toxins when smoking. Since that time cigarettes are called Camel Filter.
Apart of toxin filtration, a filter also provides much smoother smoking. However at first it was quite difficult for heavy smokers to get used to filter cigarettes. Some of them just decided to roll their own. However with time smokers’ interest in low tar products continue to grow so unfiltered cigarettes gave up their position.
Camel Filter is considered to be one of the strongest cigarette brands. It contains 0,9 mg of nicotine and 12 mg of tar which is even more than Marlboro Red has. The brand is very popular among heavy smokers. Camel cigarettes are made of Turkish and American (Virginia) tobacco blend, therefore it produces a smooth taste when smoking and does not seem to be so strong.
When buying Camel Filter online, it is strongly recommended to look for any references, feedbacks and reviews of the online cigarette stores as there are a lot scams on Internet.
