Doumitt Cigar…..
Doumitt Cigar was created by Chris Doumitt out of his love of cigars. For years people have asked Chris when he was going to offer his own cigar, that day has come.
We strive to offer 100% hand made premium cigars at a fair price.
Our first two cigars were released in time for Christmas 2017. Doumitt Cigar has continued to grow over the past 5 years. Canadian and the UK customers can order cigars and merchandise directly from Doumitt Cigar’s website and have them shipped directly from Doumitt to their door (via Customs).
We have continued to expand the humidor, now offering 10 amazing cigars, each one carefully blended with tobacco from around the world, from mild to strong, from small to large. All 100% hand-made, especially for Doumitt Cigar in our factory in the Dominican Republic.

A little History
2017: Our Nicaraguan Cigars (Oro Negro and Oro Rechoncho) were launched. These amazing and robust cigars are especially handmade for me to very specific requirements. These have the pepper Nicaraguan leaf cigars are known for and they get better and better with age.
2019: We added three “Silver Line” cigars (380-DR, D-8, & D-10). All three “Silver’s” were made for us in the renowned Tabacalera Real factory in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic. We spent most of 2018 developing these original three blends, packaging and branding, and I cannot be happier with the results.
2020: We added our Connecticut wrapper version of the small 380-DR petite corona that come in boxes, bundles, 5-packs, and the embossed metal travel “tin” we had custom made. Developing small cigars is very tricky; the small amount of tobacco used requires the recipe and tobacco quality to be perfect and the hand rolling must be precise every time.
2020: The TRADESMEN line was launched in the summer of 2020 in honor of our hard-working American Tradespeople working every day to make our lives possible. The Master – Now the Biggest cigar in the Humidor, The Journeyman – A solid hearty Dominican blend you can count on every day and The Apprentice, Our mildest cigar for those who want the toasty notes and smoothness from their cigars as well as made for those folks just starting out enjoying cigars. All 3 TRADESMEN are excellent cigars and have become very popular. I am particularly fond of the Journeyman these days.
2021: A challenging year for everyone. Even with all of the obstacles everyone we faced, Doumitt was able to relaunch the updated Doumitt Gold Line: The Oro Negro and Oro Rechoncho were each made a little longer by popular demand and I think with even better flavor than before. We also added our 10th cigar in 2021, the Oro Suave “Smooth Gold” (5″ x 48). The Suave is an addition to the Gold Line, The Oro Suave is a little smaller than the Negro (5 1/2″ x 54) and Rechoncho (4 1/2″ x 60) and a bit milder to balance out the options in my Gold Line Humidor. The Suave’s 5″ x 48 size is perfect for a shorter smoking time without reducing any flavor. Smoking like a dream with some spice at the beginning and then smoothing out from there.
Christmas 2021: We released a limited run of a special version of the small 380 sticks. Coming in a tin of 5 cigars, we used the Hab and Connecticut wrappers from each of our existing 380’s to make the “380-Barber Pole” wrapper version, making an amazing little smoke for the holidays. The 380 Barber Pole was extremely popular and we sold our entire inventory. For the 2021 holidays, we offered a limited number of gift boxes for that special someone. Each gift box had a choice of cigars, and everything needed to enjoy Doumitt Cigars; all inside a new, sealed wooden box and I autographed each one.
2022: Doumitt Cigar introduced the Cigar of The Month (COTM). An opportunity to celebrate and focus on one of each of our amazing, hand rolled cigars each month. With a discount and a few free shipping promotions it provided an opportunity for people to experience cigars they may not have selected in the past. We also launched the Deluxe Collection Sampler Box by popular demand. A collection of our 10 primary line cigars, one cigar from each line (Gold, Silver, TRADESMEN). Now customers can share a nice gift from Doumitt’s humidor or for themself. Also by popular demand we were able to have more of the 380-Barber Pole cigars made in time for the holidays. What an amazing combination of our Connecticut and Hab wrapped 380-DR cigars. I love these things.
2023……We are not just hanging out smoking cigars, well maybe I am…. We are developing and testing new blends to add to my humidor. I am thinking something with a maduro wrapper; rich and smooth, yet not too large. We will see what we come up with – You never know.
I keep telling folks...” If my customers keep smoking cigars, I will keep making them “ – We are having a blast. Thank you for your continued support.
I am confident that if you take care of your cigars once they leave my humidor and keep them stored properly, they will smoke the way I intend them to be for years to come. Enjoy and be blessed.

Business Partners
Chris Doumitt & Harry DeWolf have been friends for many years and ultimately became business partners to create Doumitt Cigar in 2016. After quite a few years of smoking cigars together and discussing the vision of a premium cigar company with Chris’ name on it, Doumitt Cigar was born.
Harry DeWolf – Behind the Scenes
Doumitt Cigar has another cigar aficionado deeply involved who brings a lot to our business. Harry DeWolf is Chris’ business partner. Harry oversees just about everything, from Operations, Product Development, Accounting, Legal and Order Fulfillment. Harry has been smoking and learning about cigars for over 30 years. He first enjoyed cigars while traveling the world as a Supply Officer in US Navy for 20 years. His cigar knowledge runs deep; learning the details of tobacco selection from Michael Giannini and learning the entire cigar construction and rolling process from the master rollers of La Gloria Hab with Ernesto Carillo (EPC) Jr. himself looked over Harry’s shoulder giving him pointers as he learned how to roll a La Gloria Charlemagne in the La Gloria factory after Harry won the first Cigar Aficionado Big Smoke “Super-Roll” competition in Las Vegas in 2003.
When we are developing and testing blends, you will find Harry carefully taking notes, measuring and examining all the fine details most people can’t see or taste in a cigar. Harry knows the leaf and blends and how they should be rolled and blended. He runs tests on how they light, smoke, draw, feel, and burn. If they don’t meet Harry’s standards, they are left behind and the work continues.
Holding a Master in Business Administration (MBA) degree, having experience as a Chief Financial Officer, being a college professor of accounting and entrepreneurship, also he is the former District Director of the US Small Business Administration (US SBA) of Oregon and SW Washington. Harry has shown he has the business acumen, drive and experience to take Doumitt Cigar to the next level, expand our marketplace and select new factories and countries for the future.
Harry enjoys a good quality, slow smoking cigar. Cigars provide Harry an opportunity to slow down and relax. His current favorite cigars are the Oro Rechoncho, D-10, and an occasional Apprentice or Oro Suave. Harry’s cigar mantra is simple. Life is too short for bad cigars – Enjoy only the Best.
