Compagnie des Tabacs Comme Il Faut, S.A. is an international tobacco company based in, Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It is owned by Luckett, Inc. of Louisville, KY and is the only cigarette maker in Haiti with its Comme Il Faut and Point brands marketed locally.
History
Comme Il Faut was founded in 1927. The tobacco company is most well known for its reputation of producing customized private label brands for its partners worldwide.
Thanks to a recent $10M investment in advanced bulk processing machinery, the company now supplies its international clientele with stock and custom blend processed tobacco, or "cut rag" and it now also has the capacity to produce more than 20,000 kilos of tobacco per day.
In 2008, aside from its Comme Il Faut brand, the company launched a new more affordable cigarette brand named Point on the Haitian market.
Contributions
The company has become one of Haiti's most prestigious companies and is well known for its help in development across the country and for its well received sponsoring for many educational, sporting, cultural, and musical events. The tobacco company is a sponsor of popular Haitian musicians and musical groups such as Djakout Mizik, Gracia Delva, Kreyol La, and Mizik Mizik.
In December 2001, some of the company's representatives joined a $40M contract deal, signed by the Haitian government for the development of a Hilton-operated hotel in Port-au-Prince to extend tax breaks and other economic incentives. The project was later abandoned.

CUT RAG
Thanks to a $10 million (US) investment in advanced bulk processing machinery, we now supply our international clientele with stock and custom blend processed tobacco, or "cut rag". We are flexible enough to offer smaller, single container shipments yet powerful enough to deliver larger shipments to satisfy the customers' requirements. We have the capacity to produce more than 20,000 kilos of tobacco per day, but our real focus is on quality not quantity.
High quality cured leaf, based on your specifications, is shipped to our processing facility where it undergoes specified conditioning processes. Our state of the art cutting and expansion drying process ensures optimum consistency and the highest yield. Robust Burley, flavorful Virginia and aromatic Oriental quality tobaccos are precisely cut and blended according to traditional formulas and your market specifications. These brand recipes include ingredients and flavors that are added to the tobacco to give each blend its unique characteristics. In addition to mechanical, electronic monitoring and inspection systems, we also employ trained workers to visually inspect and monitor the quality of the product at every stage of the process.
Finally, an additional top flavor may be applied to the cut tobacco to give the particular filler its own aroma and desired taste. Then, the final product is packaged, ID-tagged, weighed and prepared for delivery to your chosen destination. The completed process is digitally-monitored and controlled from start to finish.

COMMUNITY
Since 1927, "Comme Il Faut" remains as one of the premier companies in Haiti and has become a part of the country's national heritage.
"Comme Il Faut" has distinguished itself by its innovative operating style, redistributing its profits to its employees and to the local Culture, sports, health, and educational activities.
Comme Il Faut's employees feel a special bond with the company that they consider as their own personal business, given that the working relationship favors friendly and cordial bonds between the various branches of the company.
Compagnie des Tabacs Comme Il Faut remains committed to maintaining its policy on corporate social responsibility by providing support to communities in need.
Our most recent project was launched in 2009. The company has implemented several artesian wells as a donation to the residents of Clercine, Cité Soleil, and Marchand Dessalines.
We donate water containers to the population with each well that we implement.
At present, our first 7 wells serve more than 650,000 people. We continue our cooperation with
other communities to determine the best placement for wells in order to serve the
mass population and make clean, safe drinking water available. Water is life and we are moving forward to expand the opportunities for clean water as we address a need that 60% of the population faces which is no access to clean, safe drinking water.
We are proud to continue our long standing tradition of good corporate citizenship in Haiti. We support the communities in which we live and operate; we strive to be a responsible
corporate citizen and we carry on this proud tradition that started in 1927.”
