Al Capone
Al Capone is a German cigar brand belonging to Dannemann, a house founded in Germany in the late nineteenth century by Gerhard Dannemann. Its style favours compact formats such as cigarillos and mini cigars, built around Brazilian tobacco. Its best-known lines include Sweets, Jamaican Blaze and Pockets, the latter sold in small metal tins.
Historia
Dannemann, founded in Germany in the late nineteenth century by Gerhard Dannemann, later expanded production into Brazil, which became one of the key countries behind many of its cigars. Brazilian tobacco remains central to the identity of Al Capone, a brand that never sought to compete with giant hand-rolled premium cigars. It built its reputation on formats designed for everyday life, and its gangster-inspired imagery makes it instantly recognisable, from the packaging to the product names.
