Cigars from Kampen
In Kampen there's an old cigar factory with a long history. In 1826, Johann Lehmkuhl founded the first tobacco factory. This caused a lot of employment in this city, so many people followed suit. There were more than 110 cigar factories in Kampen. In 1844 the tobacco factory De Olifant was founded in Harderwijk by Mr. G. Goossen and in 1883 a tobacco factory was established by widow H. Meulenkamp at Voorstraat 104 in Kampen, which was later taken over by the Van der Sluis family.
De Olifant's cigars grew into a well-known brand and is currently the only producing tobacco factory in the city. The factory is still located in the same place. In the course of time a cigar store has been added and the De Eenhoorn store has also opened its doors with a wide assortment of coffee, tea and delicacies.
Olifant sigaren
Between 1602 and 1799, the VOC (the Dutch East India Company) was the largest and most powerful trading company in the world. Precious goods such as herbs, spices, silk, coffee, cotton and tobacco were transported from Asia. to the Netherlands. One of their cargo ships was: & ldquo; The Elephant & rdquo; (also known by the name & ldquo; De Witte Olifant & rdquo;). The trade route that this ship took today still exists today. The VOC always played an important role for Cigars Factory De Olifant. This can be seen in her assortment. The models date from that time. One of the models that the cigar store in Kampen sells is, for example, the Matelieff, named after a strict and fearless captain in the service of the VOC.
The assortment of de Olifant consists of the following cigars:
- Cigarillos (sigaren kleiner dan 3 gram) in een kartonnen verpakking, bestaande uit het Fantje, de Mini Sumatra, Petit sumatra, Giant Sumatra, VOC Sumatra en het Knakje Sumatra
- VOC XO (in een cederhouten kistje van 10 en 25 stuks, en een grootverpakking van 54 stuks)
- Knakje XO (in een cederhouten kistje van 10 en 25 stuks, en een grootverpakking van 38 stuks)
- Matelieff (in een cederhouten kistje van 10 en 25 stuks, en een grootverpakking van 38 stuks)
- Corona (in een cederhouten kistje van 10 en 25 stuks, en een grootverpakking van 50 stuks)
- Panarillo (in een cederhouten kistje van 10 en 25 stuks, en een grootverpakking van 54 stuks)

Types of cigars and cigar models
In addition to its own assortment of Dutch cigars, also called shortfillers, De Olifant also sells longfiller cigars from the Caribbean. & Nbsp; There are longfillers from Honduras, Longfillers from Nicaragua, longfillers from the Dominican Republic and longfillers from Cuba.
All cigars consist of 3 parts, the cover sheet, the inside and the cover sheet. In the case of a lung filler, the interior consists of whole leaves, while in the case of a shortfiller it consists of short-cut tobacco leaves, with a lot of air in between. The wrapper of the longfillers comes from the Caribbean, Dominican Republic, Cuba and Honduras. The interior of cigars is often made up of a blend of different types of tobacco from various countries. Because it is a mix, the taste of a cigar can be kept fairly constant, even if a harvest year fails once.
Cigars must be kept in a humid environment, otherwise they shrink or become too dry. The environment in which cigars are stored also affects the taste. This is how the smell of the cedar wood box in the cigars attracts if they are kept in it.
There are different models of cigars, the most famous models are: cigarillo, senorita, nib, corona, panatella, robusto, torpedo and toro. There are also models with a spout on them, these are then for example called spouts or spouts of senoritas.
At cigar factory De Olifant and Eenhoorn coffee and tea in Kampen, smoking a cigar is not a problem. There is a special smoking room and the staff is happy to help you make a good choice.
