Camel Filters 1

I love smoking cigarettes. I dont want to stop smoking but now that Camel changed its Camel Filter Soft Packs I have been unable to find a replacement. Every other cigarette I have tried including the "new" Camels makes me feel like I am hurting myself. Every cigarette on the market tastes to me like it is a light cigarette and makes my stomach hurt. I am rolling up cigarettes from the butts of the last several cartons of the old Camel Filters that I had. Each one of these that I smoke is deeply satisfying and makes my stomach feel fine.In fact after upsetting my stomach with some other cigarette smoking one of my buttrolls will actually calm down my upset stomach. I can no longer find any old Camel Filters and I am almost out of butts. I am getting very depressed.
In the 70's i smoked Winstons. The old Winstons had a blue seal on the top of the pack.These cigarettes were deeply satisfying. In 1981 Winstons were changed and the new Winstons had a red seal. At that point what I went through was very similar to what I am going through now except my stomach did not respond the way it is now. I dont know if this difference is because the cigarettes then were different than the cigarettes now, or if my stomach was different. I suspect it is the difference in the cigarettes.
I went through 10 or so years of longing for my blue seal Winstons. finally in the 90's Camel filters started using tobacco that was the same or at least similar to the blue seal Winstons.{Winstons and Camels are made by the same company,R.J. Reynolds}. I have been a content and happy smoker until now.
I find it unfathomable that R.J Reynolds would take the single cigarette that is the most popular among longterm smokers and pull it off the market. (R.J Reynolds 3rd quarter profits are down 41%---no surprise to me). In 1981 Winston was the best selling cigarette on the market. I find it equally unfathomable that they took blue seal Winstons off the market when they did.
Does anyone know where I can find some old Camel filters or someting equivilant?
