Welcome to our world. We invite you to come and explore our passion for fine tobaccos, a passion which burns as brightly today as it did when Geraldo Dannemann arrived in a small Brazilian riverside township more than 150 years ago.
Explore with us and discover some of the stories behind the tobacco and the craft which we are all rightly proud of. We hope you enjoy your journey through our fascinating world.
We place our consumers at the centre of our business, because smiling smokers who enjoy our tobaccos responsibly allow us to invest in the future - in products, in innovation and especially in our most important asset, our people.
Enjoyment for our consumers is our overriding aim. Thus, all our work and action must be directed towards offering top-quality cigars, cigarillos and services. In doing so, innovation and continuous development are as important to us as respecting and conserving the values and qualities of tradition.
“Keep it simple and solid” may sound ridiculously simple, but doing it well is highly demanding. We take the responsibility to KISS from the original idea through to the operational implementation. Einstein once said: “If I can’t explain it simply, I don’t understand it well enough”.
Honesty and openness are the basis of all our work. We give our people and teams both trust and freedom to act, and we expect open and honest communication. We are convinced that this is fundamental to enjoying what we do.
We believe we are better at working and focusing on what we can do, rather than somehow trying to work on everything. Hence, we prioritise all our tasks and have the courage to say “NO”.
Adequate margins enable us to invest in our people, research, innovation and quality improvements throughout the value chain. It is the margins that allow us to reinvest in meaningful propositions for our smiling consumers.
Tobacco is our key product. We are thankful to those who enable the growing of our key goods. We regard ourselves as showing responsibility for the environment of all parts of our value chain.
In 1872, at the age of 21, a young man from Bremen, Germany, had a vision. He wanted to create the finest cigars in the world. This man's name was Geraldo Dannemann and, as his name suggests, he is the founder of our company.
Geraldo settled in the small riverside town of São Félix, Bahia, surrounded by the Mata Fina region, even then famed for its exceptional dark fragrant tobaccos. Upon arrival in the town he built his first cigar factory, (still in operation today) and began working with the local craftspeople rolling fine cigars.
Geraldo understood that to create the finest cigars in the world he required the best tobacco, and immediately began collaborating with the local farmers. This partnership continues to this day with over 200 family farms dating back generations supplementing our own 1,000-hectare Santo Antônio farm. A tradition of “seed to smoke“ creation that continues to this day.
In 1890 Geraldo Dannemann was elected Mayor of São Félix and became one of the most important industrialists in the region. A champion for the local community, he created the first town charter and oversaw the social and economic development of the Recôncavo area. His influence is still clearly visible today thanks to the municipal buildings he created and the bridge which spans the Rio Paraguaçu river connecting São Félix to its sister town of Cachoeira.
From these modest beginnings DANNEMANN has grown into an internationally renowned tobacco group. With unique tobacco plantations in the Americas and Asia, with traditional manufacturing plants worldwide. Our cigars and cigarillos are now available in over 60 countries.
DANNEMANN remains privately held today and proudly retains the pioneering vision of its original founder.
We have a diverse portfolio of brands and products across international markets. Drawing upon our unmatched expertise in tobacco craft, each brand offers our consumers a unique tobacco experience full of flavour, taste and smoking pleasure.

The ultimate expression of our craft, hand rolled cigars produced by skilled artisans at TERRA DANNEMANN, Bahia. Produced only with tobacco from selected crops from our own plantations these cigars are as individual as they are perfect. Available in Brasil at TERRA DANNEMANN & other specialist retailers and in Europe exclusively at CENTRO DANNEMANN, Brissago.
Mother Nature is both our partner and our provider. Sadly, in the last century the rainforests of Brasil have been devastated by commercial logging, scaring the land and destroying the habitats of a wide variety of native animals and insects. It is our responsibility as people and as a company to ensure we protect and rejuvenate the native flora and fauna in the Mata Fina region surrounding our Santo Antônio farm.
In 2001, DANNEMANN set up an ambitious re-forestation programme, which to date has planted over 160,000 native trees. When you “adopt-a-tree” we will tend your sapling for five years until it becomes established enough to join the ecosystem and reclaim the land as nature originally intended.
What started in Brasil more than a century ago, has now grown to be a truly international operation. Although our premium hand-rolled cigars are still produced exclusively in the CENTRO DANNEMANN in São Félix, we now have rolling centres worldwide crafting cigars and cigarillos from our own exceptional South American and Asian tobacco crops.
