Dutch Masters is an American brand of natural-wrapped cigars that has been sold since 1912. Its distinctive packaging features Rembrandt's 1662 painting Syndics of the Drapers' Guild. Dutch Masters cigars are manufactured and sold by Imperial Brands.[1] They are machine-rolled cigars and are available as standard cigars and as smaller cigarillos.[2][3]
History
G.H. Johnson Cigar Company was the original producer of the Dutch Masters cigar brand. The brand became a mainstay of the Consolidated Cigar Corporation, which merged the G.H. Johnson Cigar Company and six others in 1921. The Consolidated Cigar Corp. later became part of Altadis, formed in 1999 by a merger of the French and Spanish state tobacco monopolies.[4]
