One sub-collection within my collection that I haven't shared too much of over the years is the Camel cigarette nightlife covers from 1995-2001.
In a desperate attempt to keep people smoking, Camel partnered with local bars, restaurants, and nightclubs in bigger cities and produced matchbook advertising for those places and Camel.
I have more than 1100 covers from this era.
Here are four examples from Portland, Oregon.
I am fascinated by restaurants/clubs/bar that were located inside of old Holiday Inns.
Here a few matchcovers from some of those places.
