Baron Ullmann Cigars

The question that naturally arises here first is the one about the connection between the Ullmann family and the cigar industry. The scion of the noble family who has a strong passion for cigars and enjoys them greatly is Georg Baron von Ullmann. The Baron is the son of a native woman named Oppenheim, who in turn married Mr. Baron von Ullmann Senior. The link between Georg Baron von Ullmann and the Cologne private bank Sal. Oppenheim makes it easy to understand how our tobacco trader colleague Peter Heinrichs from Cologne initially imported and distributed these cigars for Germany.

But first, let's take a step back: Baron von Ullmann originally wanted to create a high-quality cigar tailored to his own taste, purely as a personal hobby. To do this, he traveled with his business partner Francisco Diaz Suarez to the Dominican Republic, where the two eventually purchased a cigar factory as they continued to work on their project.

(After probably) a few glasses of rum and a few cigars later, the two decided that these magnificent cigars should also be made available to a wider circle of aficionados, and perhaps they could make some euros along the way. Since Ullmann had succeeded with equestrian sports, why not also have a Ullmann cigar brand?

The blend of these high-quality, entirely hand-rolled long fillers offers a broad, complex smoking experience at the highest level. The wrapper comes from Cameroon, the binder and filler tobaccos come from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. After that, the finished cigars were aged for four years, ensuring that the aficionado gets the best of the best. Along the way, Kohlhase & Kopp organized the distribution, and currently, the importer Darier & Cleef from Hamburg takes care of it.
