Since 1915 Amsterdam's Rokin boulevard has been the home of one of Europe's most famous cigar houses: the House of Hajenius.

However the history of Hajenius begins in 1826, when the nineteen-year old Pantaleon Gerhard Coenraad Hajenius left the fortified town of Doesburg for Amsterdam. And Hajenius had a dream: to open a store that offered customers only the very best cigars. Young Hajenius was evidently a born businessman, since he established his new store in the Hotel Rijnstroom on the Vijgendam - and a location more suited to the achievement of his dream was virtually inconceivable. 

The Sumatra selection is distinguished by its mild flavour and friendly aroma. These characteristics are the result of a remarkable combination of a top-quality Sumatra wrapper containing a mixture of largely Indonesian tobacco with a dash of Havana and Brazilian tobaccos.
