With 70% of market share, Djarum is the leading
kretek player in the United States. Djarum is also
well-known for its quality and taste in other countries
around the world. Made of the finest clove and tobacco
with the most unique sauces, Djarum offers specially
catered blends to support individuality of not only
products, but also kretek consumers.
The kretek story began in the 1800's in the small
town of Kudus, Central Java. H. Jamhari, who usually
rubbed clove oil on his chest and satisfied by its
warmth, also wanted to feel it inside his chest.
He sought a way to bring the soothing cloves into
even closer contact with his lungs by blending some
cloves in tobacco and smoked it. H. Jamhari would
never have imagined that his stroke of genius also
gave birth to today's much-loved kretek. Kretek
was named after the crackling sound of the cloves
slowly burning - kretek-kretek, kretek.
It is not just the cloves that make kretek special,
but also the secret sauce that adds to its enjoyment.
Blending the unique taste of tobacco, fruit and
herb extracts, and other natural flavorings, some
say the kretek sauce recipe is more closely guarded
than that of Coca Cola. Known only by two or three
members of each kretek company, the sauce is used
to soften the bite of tobacco and the pungency of
clove. And, to further enhance the flavor, the tip
of the kretek is sweetened. All adds to a richer
and fruity taste, sweet-scented aroma and pleasant
aftertaste than any regular cigarettes, and well-appreciated
by kretek connoisseurs.
Djarum continuous kretek innovations include the
world's first low tar low nicotine kretek, kretek
cigarillos, internationally marketed brown and black
paper kretek, cherry and vanilla flavored kretek,
as well as the world's one and only Superfine CloveTM,
Djarum will continue to produce and develop unparalleled
world-class kretek especially for its devotees.
Djarum Super is a blend of Superfine CloveTM and
tobacco, with a fruity aromatic flavor. Evoking
a sense of pride, Djarum Super is a well-known icon
in kretek's home country.
Djarum Special is a blend of perfectly aged clove
and tobacco with special exotic spice. Uniquely
created for special occasions, this brown paper
kretek is probably the most famous brand among kretek
consumers.
Djarum Black is made of the finest natural grown
clove and tobacco with a spicy aromatic taste. Exuding
sophistication, modernity and boldness, this black
paper kretek is much loved by kretek consumers.
Gold Seal Cigarillos are exceptional with their
natural blend of tobaccos from Java, Brazil, and
the Caribbean. They are hand-rolled in naturel Sumatra leaves
with no artificial ingredients and therefore stay
fresh longer.
