Cigar factory Caraïbe in Mol (Belgian Kempen)
The first cigar factory in Mol was built in 1902 and the owner Jules Manendonckx from Retie started with the cigar brand "Claire de Lune". Because the workers in the Belgian Kempen were cheaper, many Dutch tobacco entrepreneurs made the switch to Mol after the First World War. Factories arose on Markt, Rozenberg, Diamantstraat, now Guido Gezellestraat and Lakenmakersstraat. After the Second World War, the cigar industry experienced a brief revival, but it eventually disappeared with the arrival of Agio in Geel. Well-known cigar brands from Mol were Caresco, Caraïbe and Cuba.
