The Beginnings Of Gudang Garam Cloves Cigarettes
Gudang
Garam (literally 'salt warehouse') was founded on 26 June 1958 and it
is salutary to reflect that one of most successful tobacco companies in
Indonesia today should have been started less than fifty years ago and
by a man of such humble origins as Tjoa Ing Hwie.
In his late twenties, Ing Hwie got his big break when his uncle offered him a job working with tobacco and sauce at his kretek factory Cap 93. Cap 93 was one of the most famous kretek brands in East Java. Hard work and diligence was soon rewarded by promotion to Head of Tobacco and Sauce and eventually led to Ing Hwie becoming a company director. Ing Hwie left Cap 93 in 1956 taking fifty employees with him. He immediately started buying land and raw materials in Kediri and soon after began producing his own klobot kretek which he marketed under the brand name Inghwie. Two years later Ing Hwie re-named and registered his company as Pabrik Rokok Tjap Gudang Garam and a legend was born.

About Gudang Garam Cloves Cigarettes
They are indeed sweet and very tasty. The other end of the spectrum from Dji Sam Soe or Wismilak so if you prefer a taste more like the "white" cigarette, these will not be your brand. If instead you like the sweeter taste like or Djarum 76, then you'll love the sweet taste of Gudang Garam.
