History

Heading photo

The brand “Nemiroff” was created in the USSR in January 1991, shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union, by Artur Zarkh and Boris Nemirov (who passed away in 2013). The brand was created for a nameless, but incredibly fragrant, hand-rolled Cuban Cigars and raw tobaccos materials that came from Cuba, based on the contacts of the yachtsman and traveler B. Nemirov. In his honor, the new brand was named “NEMIROFF,” in the Western style, with the ending - "off".

In addition to the financial contributions to the business. A. Zarkh provided his knowledge and expertise, which started as a hobby. At the age of 11, Mr. Zarkh became interested in the professional twisting of cigars, and later received training and experience in this field. The early childhood interests and later training allowed Mr. Zarkh to select interesting new fragrances and flavors for the branded products. Therefore, in addition to Cuban cigars, A. Zarkh chose raw materials, from which he and his business partners created new, highly regarded and exclusive blends, which accounted for at least 50% of overall revenue. The tobacco products produced under Mr. Zarkh’s supervision were highly regarded and favored by the consumers for their freshness, price and high quality. Upon arrival to New York in September 1994, A. Zarkh held a first product presentation of the Cigar products (twisted and prepared under Mr. Zarkh’s supervision) and marketed under the Nemiroff brand. In 1994, seven types of hand-made cigars under the brand mark “Nemiroff” were presented.

All presented cigars were rolled from the raw materials grown in the USA. The success of the presentation was immediate, with multiple orders coming shortly thereafter. During this period, Mr. Zarkh began the development of a new cigarette mix. In December 1994, a new product was introduced in a form of packaged cigarettes, under the brand name “Nemiroff”.

Three types of cigarettes were marketed under this mark:

    White Classic - a mix of tobacco varieties, such as Oriental, Virginia and Kentucky for real men and connoisseurs of strong cigarettes (1.45 mg. Nicotine), with a strong and unique fruity and spicy aftertaste.
    White Light - a mix of three types of tobacco (1.0 mg. Nicotine), with a delicious aroma of Virginia Light varieties and a characteristic spicy-chocolate-vanilla aftertaste.
    White Ultra Classic Slims - a softer and lighter mix (0.8 mg. Nicotine), combined only from rare varieties of Virginia tobacco.

The success of the following sales can be attributed to the high quality of tobacco used in the manufacture of cigarettes and established pricing policies.

The use of tobacco that is grown in the United States for more than 300 years guarantees high quality raw materials, grown without use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals. In fact, all raw materials (grown in the U.S.) that A. Zarkh has selected for his products are natural and natural-organic, which partly accounts for the highest quality of the finished products.

We own inventory stock of raw tobacco materials (see video), from which we create a blend, certify it and launch it into production. We are members of a farmers association, and have signed a number of supply agreements, which guarantee us uninterrupted supply of good quality raw materials in the amount of tens of thousands of tons per year, in various grades of tobacco and at a fixed price. This inventory and supply includes both the cigarette and cigar tobacco. The farmer association was created about 100 years ago. The farmers, who are members of this association, own tens of thousands of acres of land and land, including farms owned and operated by Amish and Native Americans in the United States, and also the tobacco plantations in Brazil, Nicaragua, and Latin America. The farmer association members own several factories that produce excellent tobacco products - cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars, weighed tobacco for pipes, for roll-ups, for hookahs and chewing tobacco.

Our policy about quality can be summarized as "production of high-quality cigarettes and tobacco product, without any use of chemical flavorings or additives, and using only 100% pure American tobacco”.

In the our cigarettes under brand name "Nemiroff" we use four main types of tobacco: "Virginia", "Kentucky", "Oriental"and "Burley". Level of TNCO from 6/ 0.4/ 6 to 9 / 0,9/ 9. In the production of cigarillos, we use only the cigar varieties of tobacco based on the seeds from Cuba.

All our tobacco product mixes have high product quality due to high standards, requirements and quality control of our products. In our mixtures, we don’t use “chopped or exploded vein”, “reconstituted tobacco “or “chemical flavors”. In order to obtain the “taste and aroma” of cognac, rum, wine, etc. in tobacco, the tobacco raw materials we use is aged in barrels of brandy, rum, or wine for up to 1 year for its fermentation. In order to obtain elite and exclusive varieties of cigar tobacco, our raw tobacco materials are aged in barrels up to 2-3 years.

During our years of production, we have created about 200 different recipes of unique blends for the premium and super premium tobacco product market segments. These include mixes for use in cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars, pipes and hookahs.

We have also created a unique recipe for the "Non-Tobacco” cigarettes, which are commonly used and marketed to smokers that desire to STOP SMOKING. You can read about this unique market segment in a separate part of this website.

Each type of our cigarettes is a separate mix. This unique strategy is not matched – and can’t be matched – by even the largest tobacco product producers, who typically consider such policy too ambitious and un - achievable. We, however, feel that our consumers, products and reputation demand that we reach toward the highest levels of quality and variety for our products.

First, we offer a high-quality product to the premium market segment. All our blends are made from the softest part of the leaf, and are 100% free from any chemicals or chemical flavorings or additives. We use only the highest grades of naturally-grown tobacco or certified 100% USDA ORGANIC tobacco.

Our factory located in the United States of America and it meets the high quality standard ISO 9001: 2015

We are located in the Richmond Virginia area, in the heart of tobacco industry. Our cigarettes have two legal and LEGENDARY inscriptions “MADE IN USA” and “Richmond, VA, USA”, which are very highly regarded outside the USA, and can capture up to 30-40% of both the mass buyer market and the premium market segment buyers, the latter including individuals who previously purchased and smoked high-quality American cigarettes, but due to the shortages or other geo-political reasons may have switched to the expensive alternative products grown locally or imported from other places. The quality and quality control and standards of the American tobacco industry for the tobacco blends is still very high and well-regarded in the rest of the world. American products rightfully occupy a very high position among all tobacco products worldwide.

We see our mission and the goal as the promotion of our product worldwide, by creating a separate partnership in each country or geographic and economic trading region. The goal is to promote both our products, manufactured in the United States, and the creation of a full-fledged local factory, in order to produce the cigarettes under our brand, from our American raw materials, so that the high product quality for our products and the brand would be maintained in all countries and regions where our products are sold by us or our partners.
