My husband and I are smokers, and when we do purchase anything we always look for sales and promotions, so when we see a promotion that says buy one get one free we go for it, we buy it ' well camel ciggeretts have a bs promotion going on right know, when you purchses 2 packs of there lights you get the third for free all for the scam price of 9.40, well i have yet to pay more then 3.70 a pack ever (i live in denver ,colo) so when i fell for there bogof propaganda i payed 4.70 a pac ,and when we asked several cashiers at all the places that offered the camel bogof promo ,they all said well your really getting each pack for 3.64 instaed of there reg price of 4.70 a pac.so even they admitted that it's really a discount on each pac when you buy 3 pacs,your not really getting anything for free. FALSE ADVERTISING at it.s finest.And the kicker after each place gave use there almost word for word explaination,they all sold us a single pac for 3.64 which is there reg price that they sell there single pacs of camels for, not the 4.70 price hmmm,what am i not getting.Well we have been pointing out this bs scam of CAMEL to anybody and everbody we know, and since i have no shame if i see someone (4 people so far) about to purchase the 3 pac scam i have had no problem pointing out that bottom line there not getting anything for free, i'm very proud to add that all 4 of the people made the choice not purchase the 3 pac deal. marboro here we come, because if they tell 2 people then they tell 2 people and so on and so on.

thank you very much sheila

We have had several cigarettes lately with this problem, it wastes half the cigarette. 4 alone out of this pack have been like this. There is a stem sticking completely thru the cigarette. You can see the holes and 6smoke coming out of them after it is lit. We purchased these cigarettes in prairie city iowa at the local Caseys General Store.

I paid 16.75 for this new pack of camel crush oasis I opened the pack 4 were missing and they have 0 I mean 0 flavor. So i cut the ball open and tasted it and it tasted like nothing these taste like crappy paul mauls. Thanks for wasting my money never smoking camel again and I suggest you do the same.

I bought a packet of Camel White cigarettes and one of the cigarettes didn't have a filter. I'm a loyal brand supporter, however this kind of incidents are unacceptable. Mostly due to the fact that the price of these products are so high.

I've bought the Camel crush menthol silver for a long time and have not had any issues till recently. Out of the last 4 packs the filter has fallen off of at least 30 cigarettes. I don't have a receipt but this is getting ridiculous...cigarettes are not cheap.

Dear Camel,

I am a little disappointed in your cigarette brand. I bought a packet of Camel double purple, and half of the box had loose filters.

I am a loyal client as this is the only cigarettes I buy, and pay a lot for this brand.

Please see the photos attached.

I can be contacted on [protected]

Thank you
Bianca Robinson

Camel crush menthol wides would sell like crazy! No complaint. Just a suggestion. Everyone I know smokes camel crush. They all say theyd buy wide ones if available. Plus the two menthol crush products you have are too similar. Back in the day wides were awesome. Imagine how dope it would be to bring them back in menthol crush form. Game changer!

The paper wrapping is loose and tar hits the filter in wet clumps making the cigarettes unsmokeable. For the money this kind of quality control issue is unacceptable . I will be switching brands and working to spread the message of your poor product and the amount of complaints your company had failed to address.

Having been smoking Camel Red for about two years now I've had recurring issues with the filters in the odd packets. This time only the tip of the filter was present and then nothing throughout the rest of the casing.

Went to the store try to use a coupon and cashier refused it immediately saying they do not accept coupons Every store sells your product should they be required to take your coupons? I asked why coupons were not accepted because they said their store wasn't updated enough to accept coupons they just barely got Lottery

Breaking the menthol balls stuffs up the entire filter. The last few months the quality of this product seems to be going down hill.

Please make the necessary changes to your product as I would hate to start searching for a new brand of cigarettes due to this.

Kind regards

I have bought a few boxes now where the ciggarettes are damaged inside - appears to be a manufacturing fault. Holes etc. This last pack I bought had 12 of the 20 damaged. I had to repair them using rizzla papers. Unacceptable. Box on outside is in perfect condition which is why I think its a manufacturing fault.

I purchased a packet of 20 camel blue cigarettes and only received 18 cigarettes when I opened the packet. I didn't ask for a receipt and the lady who served me didn't really speak English or understand what I was complaining about

Changing the box color to black was the worst idea. Over ten times ive gotten the wrong cigarettes and they mistake them for the camel menthol silver! them both being black is a fairly poor idea please cjange box back!

Your Camel Snus Winterchill is defective. The seam separates after only a short time in the mouth. This product has cost me a considerable sum of money. I have better results with the Frost product. You need to make a greater effort to seal the seam so the tobacco does not escape prematurely into my mouth. Please remedy this problem immediately.

I have been smoking camels for years, recently I have been noticing that a few cigarettes in each pack I buy the filter is overlapped, with what seems to be extra paper around the filter. It makes it taste different. It's very strong, and I just can't smoke them.

Hello

I bought a Camel Mint package (white box) that comes with the crush experience and it did not have the crush ball. I was very upset because these are my favorite one because of the crush ball. First time this ever happend! I had to buy another package, spent like $14 so I could had the ones that I wanted!

Good day Camel, I've been smoking this specific Camel for the past year. It has now been twice that I get pack where 2 of the cigarettes doesn't have a ball that I can pop. This may be a fault on one of the machines. Please can you fix, I wouldn't want to change to another brand due to this reason.

Thank you

I bought a pack yesturday only to open it today and find every cigarette only half full of tobacco. Was very disappointed. This has never happened before. Tried to take them back but of course already opened and no receipt. Not sure what happened here but i would like to see about getting this fixed.

I've recently bought a packet of Camel Activate in which I found two cigarettes that had no "ice ball" to pop. My two most recent packets had a dreadful taste. I used to love this brand but I'm truly disappointed
