White Owls are American-made, machine produced cigars.[1] The logo consists of a snowy owl perched on a cigar. The brand is owned by Swedish Match.

History

White Owl is a cigar first produced in 1887. In the 1920s their Invincible cigar featured an imported Sumatran wrapper. Production was moved from Pennsylvania to Dothan, Alabama in 1985.[2] They are made with a sheet-type wrapper and binder that encases a mixed filler tobacco blend from five nations.

As of 2011, White Owl cigars imported into Australia are produced in the Dominican Republic, under the direction of an Owensboro, Kentucky, company.[3]
