come on man, what the fuck! Everyone of my cigarettes is going out before i can finish it. Fuck, if i want a cigarette that goes out befor i finish it, i can but cheap shit mavericks. Your quality is going down hill. Wake up and provide me with quality or i'm switching to Marlboro!

ive been smoking camel lights for a long time now, and i like alot of other people were really mad over rjr's decision to mess with the blend, but ive really gotten to like the new blend. ive even found some of the old bend in a few gas stations, and have bought them (knowing they were prob stale/whatever) and after smoking them, i think the new blend IS actually better, and didnt really miss them as much as i thought i would, and was happy to smoke the new blend again after i finshed the pack of the old blend. 5/5

The new camel lights are just terrible, enough said

i like them they are light like they say and have a good taste.

At first they seemed ok, but later on I started feeling light headed. The only reason I smoked Camel was for the old blend. The old Camel Lights had a cool package and design, and never gave me a problem or made my house smell. If you feel like me about your old favs call RJreynolds please

The new Camels Lights SUCK, 25 years of smoking the old ones, I called RJR @ 1-877-265-1913 last night and the guy on the line said; that they have been getting a lot of calls by people pissed off about the new brand. PLEASE CALL THEM!

SO, PLEASE IF YOU WANT THE OLD BRAND BACK CALL:RJR @ 1-877-265-1913

I miss my old brand :(

I came across these in a weird way. Me and my friend were walking down an alley and all of a sudden we saw a pack laying on the ground. I picked it up and it was a brand new un-opened package. Lucky me. Camel lights are probably the best light cigarette I have ever tasted. The taste is great because it's not strong like a regular camel and it's a lot better than a marb light. I would recommend these to any smoker.

the only new camel i like is camel menthol...they actually did a good job with that one

This USED to be my every day dedicated smoke, but why the hell did they change the old blend and packaging??? The new ones hurt my throat in a way not comparable to "harsh" cigarettes, it's a different feeling. Not only does the new tobacco suck, but the new pack looks HIDEOUS. It reminds me of the candy chewing gum cigarette packs that little kids buy at candy stores. Maybe this is Rj Reynolds' marketing method to get younger people smoking, but I loathe carrying around this new pack, it's too flamboyant for a pack of cigs. I've changed brands as many others have, because the new camel cigs SUCK. It seems like Rj Reynolds is feeling this loss as well, because they never have buy one or buy two get 1 FREE anymore... at least where I live, instead they have the crappy $2.50 savings deal. I just buy Parliament Lights now cause they're almost always buy one get one, in the meantime I don't support RjRt anymore, they ruined a masterpiece.

I liked the old ones too......bought a carton not knowing they'd changed the blend and now I'm stuck with em....luckily I don't hate the new ones but they definitely aren't as good as the old ones.....I'm gonna go back to Nat Sherman classics.

taste good at first, but if you keep smoking them they dont taste good at all.

These are my smoke. Hopefully I'll be quitting soon but we all know how that goes. I can't really smoke anything else other than these, and besides I'm just a Camel person.

i hate new camel lights, they have inspired me to hate everything about RJ Reynolds and i am disgusted by the horrible taste. old camel lights were the only reason i used to breathe, thanks a lot you bastards.

I was a completely loyal buyer of the old camel lights. The sad thing is when they first came out, I was in the middle of a quitting session. I didn't even get to savor the last remaining camel lights until the taste when to shit! "Richer, smoother blend of tobacco" my ass!! I'd rather smoke DORALS than even think about buying any Camel brand.

I do not know what you did to your cigarettes. I have smoked Camel Lights for 17 years. I was shocked with the "new" taste, gross!!!! Then I got a pack and the dang cigarettes kept going out on me. I heard you made them to do that on purpose!!! WTF!!! I use to go out of my way to get Camel Lights. IF a gas station ran out I went somewhere else. Well, You just lost about $2,ooo a year from me. I roll my own now. Why fix something that wasn't broke?!!!!

Camel lights used to be tasty, smooth, yet strong. Now its none of those. Camel should learn from Coca-cola- why fix something that anit broke?

I used to smoke Camel Lights but after being betrayed by RJReynolds with the "new and improved" blend, it's time to find a new brand or better yet quit. I called and complained and they told me that the new blend is better. The lady on the phone did not care whatsoever that they had betrayed so many loyal customers! I am disgusted. I will not smoke another Camel cigarette until they bring back the old awesome blend. If they don't bring it back they will lose a ton of customers, myself included. F U Camel.

A great smoke, the new blend is very similar to the old blend but not as good. Camel is still the best brand on the market. It still has that great buttery taste that we all love. If you want the old blend back email or call camel and ask for the old blend back. It will not happen though unless we all stand together and tell them we want it back. Anyways I will still continue to smoke camel.

After almost a year of smoking the new camel lights, I have still not been able to adjust. In my opinion The best alternative to the old Camel light is the Camel Turkish Silver. Honestly, I have not been comfertable as a smoker ever since they switched the blend. That and the damn smoking bans.

Recently, when I couldn't get a hold of my regular smokes, I opted for Camel Lights. Halfway through my third cigarette that day, I began feeling nauseous and queasy. After I threw up, I felt a lot better. The same thing happened after I had another cigarette later that day. I started thinking maybe I was experiencing an allergic reaction to the things (I was desperate for an excuse) so I decided to do a little research. I'm very surprised that I'm not the only one feeling this way. What in the HELL did they do to those things? And has anyone else heard the issue being blamed on the self-extinguishing thing?

i was also disgusted by the new camel lights, but i found out if you pick up a soft pack it is the old camel light. i recommend anyone to go pick up a soft pack.

After reading many of these comments and smoking this brand for a while one can assume that almost everyone has noticed their "new blend". To be honest, I hardly smoke (which I might as well quit)...but I do love the occasional smoke with a beer or coffee. Since I am a light smoker (1 pack every 2 weeks give or take)...I can hardly taste the difference. I have been loyal to camel lights every since I cannot find any filtered lucky strikes. I did notice their change but smoke no so often that it really doesnt bother me. I do agree however that their older version did feel smoother.

Perhaps I should be thankful of the change (haven't smoked in 36 days so far). Whether it was the filter, tobacco, whatever, the taste went bad, cough started, and throat/lungs started hurting in the morning.

I love smoking and I loved Camel Lights. I am horrified by their "new blend". It tastes disgusting - like Marlboro Lights meet a dirty toilet. Not only is the new taste revolting, but they stink horribly. I could chain smoke the old Camel Lights in my apartment and it didn't make the place smell bad. I have ONE of the new Camel Lights and I am grossed out of my own home. The second I put it out my apt smells like stale wet nasty moldy cigarette. I have written to Camel on their website and they just keep parroting back that it's a "higher quality smoke". If this is high quality, then I want the low back! What surprizes me the most is that they call it a "smoother" blend. It's not. The new Camel Lights are very bitter and much more harsh. My hubby and I have been driving all over town buying up all the last packs of old Camels. We're even smoking wide lights and 100's lights because that's all that's left. When I can't get my old Camels anymore, I am totally switching brands.

*updated rating*

Although i am VERY loyal to the old camels, i dont think these are nearly as bad as everyone is saying they are. Yes i do wish very much that RJR will stop producing these new camels and start remaking the old ones again, but i just know they wont, so im trying to deal with these the best i can :(

I'm lucky - I stocked up on four cartons of the old Camel lights a few weeks ago and am savoring them right now. I'm keeping them in the fridge and will ration them over the next few months until they are gone forever. The new Camels don't work for me either.

new camels are gross, bring back the other ones. I may quit just because of the new formula

I agree the new "flavor" is terrible. It is clearly a chemical additive, some kind of perfume or something. I feel like I am smoking incense or potpourri. And the taste does not go away for a long long time. I also agree about the harshness. I always like camel light because they were smooth. The new "formula" is not smooth at all. I might have to switch to American Spirits or something that is perfume free. RJReynold's what were you thinking? You actually think people will like having perfumes in their cigs?

I think the bad taste of the new Camel lights is a secondary issue. I've smoked Camel Lights for over twenty years and thought them the best cigarette on the market. The new ones not only taste awful, but give me a persistent cough. Thinking that it was mind over matter, I switched brands for a few weeks (opting for Benson and Hedges) and my cough subsided. I tried Camel Lights again and my cough also returned. Obviously you are filling the new lights with more crap than just bad taste. You have lost me as a customer.

My wife and I have smoked Camel lights and ulta lights for years, these NEW ones are CRAP we are trying all the others now to see if there is any others we like. When we find one I hope they are not made by RJR. This is terrible

i love these cigs!

I switched to Winstons after the new Camel lights were forced on me. Then I quit smoking entirely. Thanks, guys, for helping me quit! Here's hoping cig and big oil companies go outta business.

I hate the new camel lights, I'm craving an old one right now. Dammit RJR!!!

my go to pack, just an all around winner in flavor/harshness/price

I've smoked camel lights for 15 years, after a month of the new "improved" I'm going to have to find another brand. The change was a horrible idea, no doubt the company did - whatever they did to increase profit and masked it by saying it was an improvement in flavor. Hey, those that smoked them did so because they liked the flavor the way it was. The new cigs hurt my throat and I'm coughing more than I ever did before. Thanks Camel - you suck.

WOW. The New Camel Light. I can't think of a better way to get a headache.

Although there is clearly great discontent with the new Camel Lights, I for one did not like the old Camel Lights but find the new blend decent. The mellow aftertaste is reminiscent of the old blend of Camel Turkish Gold, and there is not the "sweetness" that I found unpleasant in the old blend. Though given there is a change, I am of course not surprised that those who liked the old Camel Lights seem, for the most part, to be unhappy. I wish RJR would sell both blends to appease both camps.

I find it very ironic that a company that pushes "smokers rights" doesn't even listen to their customers. Pretty pathetic. I was a loyal smoker of Camel Light 100s for almost 13 years. Its time to move on. If I don't enjoy the cigarettes, why keep the hobby. It's impossible to savor this new blend. Its harsh, bitter and burns your throat. Terrible. If I wanted to smoke a cigar, I BUY A CIGAR, NOT CIGARETTES! Get you head out the toilet camel, or otherwise you will be no more soon. Piss off you loyal customers and who you have left? No one. But maybe thats their plan. Maybe they just want to go bankrupt before having to pay for all the cancer lawsuits...

I called the 800 number on the back of the pack and asked the person on the phone why they changed the camel lights. Her response was that rj reynolds had done a focus group and this group said they wanted a smoother taste. They used to use all parts of the tobacco plant, now they just use the middle and tops which is what makes this "smoother" taste. When I told her I was just going to quit because I couldn't stand the new ones she apologized and offered to send me some coupons. (By the way, I recently received a thank you card with a free gift-- a "pocket ashtray", a small, foil-lined pouch with a snap. The coupons they sent were good for any of the following brands: Camel, Carlton, Eclipse, Kool, Misty, More, Tareyton, Vantage, Now, Pall Mall, Capri, Doral, GPC, Lucky Strike, Monarch, Salem and Winston.
Could this be RJ Reynolds way of contributing to the new nonsmoking era? Changing something that is going to piss off some very brand-loyal people just to manipulate them into quitting.
It's time to quit-- it ain't cool anymore...
If you have to carry a tiny ashtray in your purse, hide while you smoke, bring gum and scented lotion everywhere you go, it's time. I don't like it, but if I can't get the old camel lights, then I just don't think it's all worth it.

The new camel lights are dry and harsh. Nothing like the old ones. BRING THEM BACK OR I WILL QUIT SMOKING

Glad to see I ain't alone - wish they'd bring back the old blend. Been trying to find an alternative and haven't found an equal so I'll probably settle for Winston lights. If anyone finds a brand similar to the old Camel Lights please post. The only reason I'm giving a single star because this site won't let me give it a zero.

they changed the tobacco and they taste terrible! I'll either switch or quit period

Wow, i finally found my soul mates on the internet. I thought I was the only one. I have only smoked camel lights since I started and when they switched to this new CRAP I'm seriously considering quitting.

To the people who say you get a sore throat smoking anything other than camel lights, I think it would be because camel lights were the only cigarette with a %100 cotton filter and these new "Turkish Turd Blend" crap stick have fiberglass. I absolutely can NOT smoke anything with a fiberglass filter, I might as well gargle drano.

Now that I know everyone else is equally pissed about this i will organize all my fellow camel smokers here and start mass complaining to the number on the box. I just found this review here after finally trying to register and complain on RJR's website which was unsuccessful. they want every bit of info from you to register down to your mothers maiden name and credit card number, pfft yea right.

VIVA LA RESISTANCE !

I don't buy the camel lights boxes because the tobacco formula is different... I get an alergic reaction. Now with the new formula in soft packs, I get the same reaction... crap. Horrible change. GO BACK TO THE OLD FORMULA!!!

I'd like to quote the irrefutible Charles Barkley when I say that these new Camel Lights are "terrible cigarrettes. Terrible,terrible terrible".

Seriously, why RJR would want to fix something that isn't broke. And why try to re-invent the freakin' wheel here? Did big business learn nothing from the New Coke debacle back in the late 80's? If you want to roll out a new blend, that's fine, no problem. BUT, that doesn't mean that you also have to abandon the old one along with countless numbers of (previously brand-loyal) Camel Light smokers.

I hope I can continue to find retailers in my area who still have some of the old packs available, but it's getting increasingly difficult. The day I have to switch brands because I was forced to do so will be a very ugly day my friends, very ugly indeed.

BRING BACK THE CLASSIC BLEND PEOPLE -- WAKE UP AND FIX WHAT YOU'VE DONE!

Really people, WE ALL need to call the number on the side of the pack (1-877-CML-1913) and let them know just how bad they fucked up with this change. We need to flood them with all the thoughts we have on this so that maybe they will catch a clue and figure out NOBODY likes the NEW SHIT! Upgrade my ASS!!!

Ahh, so I have smoked Camel Lights, and them only, since I began smoking about four years ago. The first few packs I purchased of the new ones resulted in a horrible sore throat that lasted at least a week and a half. Once I had recovered, I decided to give them another try since Camel Lights are the best cigarettes ever. Or should I say, were the best.. Nothing compares to the old, perrrfect ones. The new blend in the new pack is downright disgusting. Just awful. I have cleaned out my town of the old packs and now I suppose I am going to quit smoking. I just wish that they would bring the old Camel's back or at least begin selling them again, along with this new shit blend that they could call Camel Shits Lights. Hopefully if enough people complain and begin to boycott and not buy the new ones, they'll come back to their senses and relieve us all. I just want my Camel Lights back!

was there a mutation in camels? i liked the old camel much more than this wierd camel :s old camel or no camel!

all i can say is yuck. i have been looking for a reason to quit. thank you for giving me one.

Why camel why? i thought it was just me. the new cigs make me sick. its like some anti-smokers bought camel out to make their cigs worse and make me quit. you damn pragmatists, give me back my smokes!
