The founder of the Egyptian Tobacco industry wasNestor Gianaclis, a Greek who arrived in Egypt in 1864 and in 1871 established a factory in thein 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 Kyriazissuccessfully 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 producedcounterfeits. Among these was the AmericanCAMELbrand, established in 1913, which used on its packet three Egyptian motifs: thecamelthe pyramids, and apalm tree. Fellow Greeks in the United States also imported or produced such cigarettes. For example, S. Anargyros first importedEgyptian Deitiesand then producedMurad,HelmarandMogul, and the Stephano Brothers producedRamses II.
