Description: Omar original cigarette ad from 1915 Theatre Magazine Extremely Rare card stock11X14"The founder of the Egyptian Tobacco industry was Nestor Gianaclis, a Greek who arrived in Egypt in 1864 and in 1871 established a factory in the in Cairo. After British troops began being stationed in Egypt in 1882, British officers developed a taste for the Egyptian cigarettes and they were soon being exported to the United Kingdom. Gianaclis and other Greek industrialists such as Ioannis Kyriazis successfully produced and exported cigarettes using imported Turkish tobacco to meet the growing world demand for cigarettes in the closing decades of the nineteenth century.Egyptian cigarettes made by Gianaclis and others became so popular in Europe and the United States that they inspired a large number of what were, in effect, locally produced counterfeits. Among these was the American CAMEL brand, established in 1913, which used on its packet three Egyptian motifs: the camel the pyramids, and a palm tree. Fellow Greeks in the United States also imported or produced such cigarettes. For example, S. Anargyros first imported Egyptian Deities and then produced Murad, Helmar and Mogul, and the Stephano Brothers produced Ramses II. Chosen Reflections Inc./ Million Magazines, Kaufman Texas 75142.
