After the liberation of Paris in World War II, the US Army set up several camps around the port city of Le Havre. These camps were staging areas for men entering and exiting the European theater — no one was in these camps for very long. As with most WWII army camps, they all had nonsensical code names unrelated to their location or purpose to ensure security.

In the case of Le Havre, the camps were all named after US cigarette brands. According to The Cigarette Camps, the brand names were thought to provide some comfort to the men. Given how important cigarettes were during the war, I suppose this isn’t surprising. The link above provides lots of pictures and personal reminisces of the camps.
