History of the Kudus Kretek Museum
The existence of the Kretek Museum itself is a source of pride for Kudus residents in particular, and as a complement to tourism when on vacation in the kretek city.
The purpose of establishing the Kretek Museum is to store the history that was born from the development of kretek in the city of Kudus, as well as to introduce the raw materials to the manufacturing process of kretek cigarettes.
The first kretek cigarettes were branded “Kodok Nguntai Ulo” which means frogs eating snakes, but they were later changed to Tjap Bulatan Tiga because it was not commercial and the name was often ridiculed.
However, the first cigarette company went bankrupt, due to the invasion of World War II accompanied by the entry of Japan into Indonesian territory.
