Five accomplishments of R. J Reynolds

In 1913, Reynolds Tobacco introduced Camel cigarettes, containing a blend of several different types of tobacco – a blend that would come to be called “the American blend.” Supported by a unique introductory “teaser” advertising campaign, Camel became the first nationally popular cigarette in the United States.

Reynolds Tobacco established virtually every packaging standard in the U.S. cigarette industry. The 20-cigarette pack was introduced by Reynolds Tobacco in 1913, and in 1915 the company introduced the one-piece, 10-pack carton. In 1931, Reynolds Tobacco became the first company to package its cigarettes with a moisture-proof, sealed cellophane outerwrap to preserve freshness.

In 1918, Richard Joshua Reynolds – Reynolds Tobacco’s founder – died at the age of 68.

In 1925, Brown & Williamson purchased J.G. Flynt Tobacco Co. and its trademarks, including the popular Sir Walter Raleigh smoking tobacco. The following year, the company bought R.P. Richardson Company, which had just started to market manufactured cigarettes.

On March 24, 1927, in Winston-Salem, an announcement was made that Brown & Williamson was being acquired by London-based British American Tobacco p.l.c. (BAT) and reorganized as Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation. This enabled the company to increase its production capacity and expand its distribution beyond the Southeast.

To expand its manufacturing capacity, construction began on a new Brown & Williamson factory in Louisville, Ky., in 1927. The company’s Winston-Salem office personnel relocated to Louisville in January 1929, and in 1931, the company’s executive offices in New York also moved to Louisville.

Meanwhile, B&W’s first national brand, Raleigh, was launched as a premium cigarette in 1928.

In 1933, B&W launched KOOL cigarettes, the first U.S. menthol brand to gain nationwide distribution.

In 1936, B&W introduced Viceroy as the industry’s first cork-tipped filter product. In 1952, B&W began marketing Viceroy with a new “cellulose acetate” filter.

In 1954, Reynolds Tobacco introduced Winston – the first filter cigarette to achieve a major success in the marketplace.

Reynolds Tobacco introduced Salem – the first filter-tipped menthol cigarette, in 1956.

The Belair menthol brand was launched nationally by B&W in 1960.

Explanation:

early human migrations are the earliest migrations and expansions of archaic and modern humans across continents and are believed to have begun approximately 2 million years ago with the out of africa migration of homo erectus. this initial migration was followed by other archaic humans including h. heidelbergensis, which lived around 500,000 years ago and was the likely ancestor of both denisovans and neanderthals. early hominids were said to have "crossed land bridges that were eventually covered in water" .

within africa, homo sapiens dispersed around the time of its speciation, roughly 300,000 years ago.the "recent african origin" paradigm suggests that the anatomically modern humans outside of africa descend from a population of homo sapiens migrating from east africa roughly 70,000 years ago and spreading along the southern coast of asia and to oceania before 50,000 years ago. modern humans spread across europe about 40,000 years ago.

the migrating modern human populations are known to have interbred with local varieties of archaic humans, so that contemporary human populations are descended in small part (below 10% contribution) from regional varieties of archaic humans.

after the last glacial maximum, north eurasian populations migrated to the americas about 20,000 years ago. northern eurasia was peopled after 12,000 years ago, in the beginning holocene. arctic canada and greenland were reached by the paleo-eskimo expansion around 4,000 years ago. finally, polynesia was peopled after 2,000 years ago, by the austronesian expansion.
