It bothers me that the top type, in yellow, does not match the classic typeface of the packaging. Also, the yellow letters are touching each other and the whole thing is hideous. Poor man’s Ingrid Bergman isn’t helping, either.
What bothers me is that you shouldn’t open soft packs like the way it is in the picture. That is an absolute abomination.
Why?
The smokes fall out easier from a fully opened pack and random junk can fall in. The proper method is to tear off one side of the wrapper. It’s easier to get just one smoke and you can keep the rest of the smokes bundled together by crushing the empty bit a little as you go through the pack. The less the smokes shake around the better the tobacco stays packed. (It makes it look cooler too when offering someone else a smoke like the attached picture.)
she looks like someone started drawing Ingrid Bergman and then saw a picture of Grace Kelly
But they include a cool stamp size photo of your great grandpa’s ghost.
Good eye there, like your positivity, you’re obviously a Camel Man.
Free gloves to prevent yellow tar stains in every carton!
What the hell is even a Turkish blend?
Cheaper tobacco from overseas was mixed with more expensive tobacco from Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina in the US. IIRC, American servicemen got the cheaper blended cigs in their daily meal rations during WWII and got used to it. The ones who made it home brought their preference for Turkish blend back to the US. Their friends and families also got used to the flavor. Camel and other brands catered to that.

Companies fought to get their brands to servicemen, knowing smokers never switch brands.
I switch brands almost every pack
more like some mongol mix
I wonder if 98 counts as retro at this point:
