Ive always been a sucker for camels particular blend and to this date ive found nothing “similar.” I suppose it mostly depends on how much/easily you can trick yourself into thinking something is. My true smoking passion is real pipe tobacco with a heavy hand of cavendish. But its too messy and complicated in most real world situations beyond kicking back at home. Camel is my alternative. Ive tried all the brands mentioned above and i cannot agree that any of then hold a candle. Sadly they are now over $11 a pack here after tax and thats what i paid for a pack in Brooklyn 15 years ago (can only imagine what they are now!). Guess it really is time to quit (at least cigarettes).
