History of White Owl Cigars
White Owl cigars were first produced in 1887 in Dolthan, Alabama by General Cigar Company. The brand is now owned by Swedish Match, but still operates under the General Cigar name. General Cigar experienced its largest growth in the 1960s, owned by Edgar M. Cullman and a group of investors. Due to the ban on Cuban imports, the company used tobacco grown locally in Connecticut and imported from Mexico, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic.
General Cigar and its parent company Swedish Match continue to grow, producing a number of popular brands and making it one of the largest tobacco companies in the world. Their products are made in Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras. Of note is the company’s dedication to social responsibility, which includes many outreach initiatives for health and education, as well as an environmental protections and reforestation project.
