OUR VALUE CHAIN
It starts with a seed
All tobacco starts with a seed. The development of a tobacco plant depends on factors such as soil, sun, rain position of the leaf on the tobacco plant and the time of harvesting. Our cultivation activities take place within Caribbean Cigar Holdings Group, in which we own a 20% stake.
We purchase raw tobacco
We purchase raw tobacco from the majority of all tobacco growing countries. Tobaccos used for cigars, pipe tobacco and fine-cut tobacco are not the same. More than two thirds of the raw tobacco market for pipe tobacco and fine-cut tobacco is handled by three large wholesalers, whereas tobacco for cigars is purchased from a number of smaller suppliers.
Our production setup is global
We have a global supply chain with 14 manufacturing sites. Production is strategically located close to both tobacco growers and the consumers. Handmade cigars are produced in the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua, while machine-rolled cigars are produced primarily in Europe, the Dominican Republic and Indonesia. Pipe tobacco and fine-cut are produced in Denmark.
