Djarum Cigars

125 Years Ago in Kudus, Indonesia, a man named Haji Jamhari was having chest pains and decided to make a combination of clove, spice and tobacco to smoke in hopes of finding relief. What he found was The Cigar, or as he called it “kretek,” (in reference to the crackling noises made when smoked). In the hands of visionaries, “kretek,” became a sought out industry for the growing economy.  Not until entrepreneur Oei Wie Gwan, did the industry really take off. He named it Djarum. Today Djarum is enjoyed in 5 different contents and are one of the top cigar brands in America.
