The Secrets Revealed

The essential ingredient for creating the perfect cigar is finding a place where sun, water and earth meet in perfect harmony.

We have found the Dominican Republic to be that place. The conditions created by its elements, in partnership with some of the worlds finest cigar rollers, are the perfect ingredients for creating the ultimate smoking experience.


Our "Classic" Cigar Box


Christopher Columbus was the first to see the potential of this island but so did various English pioneers who planted the first tobacco crops in 1622. It is this tobacco growing legacy that lives on through the TREASURER cigar, which is produced by us, the Chancellor Tobacco Company of England.

The company's leaf specialists, with their history of tobacco experience, seek out the finest tobaccos, recognizing that a high quality cigar deserves nothing but the best. By selectively inspecting local farms our leaf buyer and master blender set out to acquire only the top quality leaf, thus ensuring that each cigar becomes a mark of taste and grandeur.


Our "Gift" Cigar Box


Our selected tobacco farmers strive to produce the best tobaccos money can buy. With much care and nurturing of plants, from seed planting to the moment the last cured leaf hangs in the barn, their aspirations are achieved through careful attention, resulting in some of the world's finest tobacco. Once the leaves reach their final state of curing they are transported to our factory in the Cibao Valley, the centre of the Dominican Republic's cigar industry, where under the watchful eye of our master blender, the tobacco will start its final stages towards reaching perfection.

It is the natural fermentation process of the leaf which ultimately gives the tobacco its character and taste. During this fermentation stage our chosen leaves are carefully inspected on a daily basis to ensure that they reach their peak temperature. After a period of no less than 3 months the magical transition occurs where the leaves shed their young green colour and
turn to a mature deep brown.

As the tobacco reaches its final stage of fermentation our master Torcedor, along with his team of selected Torcedors from the Tamboril region, wait patiently to give "life" and form to our TREASURER cigar. Their years of rolling experience and sense of Art, result in the creation of the finest cigars, which are laid down to rest in climatically controlled conditions for further ageing.


Our "Executive" Cigar Box

Sparing no expense in our mission to deliver only the best, we feel our Treasurer cigar deserves the ultimate in presentation. This is achieved by packing each expensively banded selection of fine cigars in a classic handcrafted cigar box. To exemplify the stylish image only the finest solid exhibition-grade burl walnut, lined with Spanish cedar is considered appropriate for use in our boxes of five and ten. The Executive box of five is banded with aluminium whilst the Aged box of ten comes with sterling silver inlay, both incorporating our grandiose Treasurer cigar tube, in their own unique way. Both boxes provide the additional luxury of a humidor and are accompanied by a stylish blue flame cigar lighter and cigar punch. Even our bulk box of twenty five cigars is handcrafted from walnut and lined with cedar.

Our pursuit of excellence, starting from the farmer through to the Torcedors, makes a final product worthy of the brand name TREASURER. This is our gift to those who seek the best in life.

We at Chancellor are taking the art of luxury smoking into a new stratosphere
