Cigars from Kampen
A cigar factory with a long history is located in Kampen. Johann Lehmkuhl founded this cigar factory in 1826. The tobacco industry created a lot of employment in the city and many more cigar factories were founded. At the maximum, there were more than 110 cigar factories in Kampen. Cigar factory De Olifant was founded in Harderwijk by Mr. G. Goossen in 188 and a cigar factory was established by Widow H. Meulenkamp at De Voorstraat 104 in Kampen in 1883. This cigar factory was taken over by the Van Der Sluis family.
De Olifant cigars became a well-known brand and currently this is the only producing cigar factory left in the city. The factory is still located in the same place and is expanded with a cigar store. De Eenhoorn store has also opened its doors with a wide assortment of coffee, tea and delicacies in 2003.
Olifant cigars
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 called ‘De Olifant’ (also known by the name ‘De Witte Olifant’). The trade route of this ship still exists today. The VOC always played an important role for Cigar factory De Olifant and nowadays this is visible in the cigar types of De Olifant. One of these types, for example, the Matelieff, is named after a strict and fearless captain in the service of the VOC.
The assortment of de Olifant consists of the following cigars:
Cigarillos (cigars below three grams) in a cardboard box (Fantje, Mini, Petit, Giant, VOC and Knak)
VOC XO (in a cedar box with 10 or 25 cigars or a cardboard box with 54 cigars)
Knakje XO (in a cedar box with 10 or 25 cigars or a cardboard box with 38 cigars)
Matelieff (in a cedar box with 10 or 25 cigars or a cardboard box with 38 cigars)
Corona (in a cedar box with 10 or 25 cigars or a cardboard box with 50 cigars)
Panarillo (in a cedar box with 10 or 25 cigars or a cardboard box with 54 cigars)
Panatella (in a cedar box with 10 or 25 cigars or a cardboard box with 50 cigars)
Valentino Robusto (in a cedar box with 10 or 25 cigars or a cardboard box with 35 cigars)
Ivory (in a cedar box with 10 or 25 cigars)
Types of cigars and cigar models
De Eenhoorn sells two types of cigars:
Shortfiller
The shortfiller is a typical Dutch cigar. The shortfiller consist of three parts: the wrapper leaf, the binder leaf and the filler. The big difference between a shortfiller and a longfiller is that the filler of a longfiller consists of whole leaves, while in the case of a shortfiller the filler consists of short-cut tobacco leaves with a lot of air in between.
Longfiller
Besides of our own assortment, we also sell longfiller from the Caribbean. We sell longfillers from Honduras, Cuba, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The big difference between a shortfiller and a longfiller is that the filler of a longfiller consists of whole leaves, while in the case of a shortfiller the filler consists of short-cut tobacco leaves with a lot of air in between. The wrapper leaf of the longfillers comes from the Caribbean, Dominican Republic, Cuba and Honduras. The filler of the longfiller is often a blend of different types of tobacco from various countries. The tste of the cigar is very constant, because the filler is a mix, so even when one harvest fails, the taste will be good. The longfillerss must be kept in a humid environment, otherwise they shrink or become too dry.
