We have honed our craft to make rituals: premium tobacco products and experiences to our consumers embedded by textures, flavours and aromas. With our portfolio of industry leading brands, we deliver consumer experiences that really make a difference. With a portfolio of around 200 leading FMCG brands that are being sold across the globe, we believe we have what it takes to become the undisputed, global leader in cigars.

Scandinavian Tobacco Group is listed on NASDAQ OMX and in 2021 posted net sales of DKK 8.2 billion. Building a growing business in a highly regulated industry takes people who have courage and dare to light the forward and raise the standards for everything we do. Passion is what sets us apart – we believe in holding ourselves accountable to high expectations, because we know we can achieve them. When we combine our perspectives and work together to deliver results, strive for simplicity, and beat our competition, we become part of something bigger than ourselves – a winning team that has what it takes to go the distance.
