Description:
„Camel Dark Mint – a limited edition version of menthol cigarettes, released as part of Camel Crush / Exotic Blends series for the US market. The package stands out dark green radiant background with central camel emblem, and the inscription below „Creamy Mellow Mint“, which gives a milder menthol flavor profile.

-
Historical data and popularity: This release was part of Camel Signature's experimental line, which included variants like Frost, Infused, Twist, and Dark Mint. Dark Mint was one of the last to feature a distinctive flavor and design before the entire series was discontinued around 2012.
