Domestic Tobacco Company - About Us

Enjoy old-time, chewing tobaccos and fine cigars from the famed Pennsylvania Dutch Country.

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania -the Pennsylvania "Dutch" Country- has been famed for its tobaccos since before the American Revolution. Now, just as in early days, Lancaster County's Amish and other traditional family farmers grow the rich, full-bodied Pennsylvania Seedleaf for our cigars and chewing tobaccos. These hard-working farmers with their large families and tradition of helping each other, produce millions of pounds of tobacco each year.

They still do things the old-fashioned way-planting, growing, hand-harvesting, then barn-curing their tobaccos for just the right time before offering them for sale to buyers from all over the U.S.A.

At Domestic Tobacco, we do things the old-fashioned way too. We buy our local tobaccos -with a sharp eye for quality- right from the growers, a Lancaster County tradition. We let them naturally age and ferment for more than a year, in batches we control by experience, not by computer.

 When the time is right, we create our distinctive chewing tobacco blends, and add their generations-old secret flavorings (our newest brands are more than 30 years old!). We make them in small batches, to maintain just the right moisture content.

For our fine cigars, we blend Pennsylvania and other domestic and imported tobaccos, and use the time-honored techniques that mean real smoking satisfaction.

Whether you chew or smoke, we invite you to enjoy tobacco products made with old-fashioned care and pride.
