Domenico (company)
Domenico is the name of a brand of handmade cigars produced by the Domenico Cigar and Tobacco Growers’ Cooperative in Potamia, Greece.
Background
The company was founded in at the initiative of Yiannis Tsoutsos, the mayor of Potamia. Greece had no tradition in cigar manufacturing, so Tsoutsos and a group of local agriculturists travelled to Cuba in 2000 to acquire a fundamental know-how of the industry. After a period of trial-and-error, the Domenico brand was launched in 2004.
The current line of cigars includes coronas, robustos, churchills and cigarillos.
