Eckstein No. 5 was the oldest still existing German brand of cigarettes which was owned by Reemtsma, a subsidiary of Imperial Tobacco
History
This brand of cigarettes was manufactured since 1854 by the German Jewish tobacco manufacturer Abraham M. Eckstein in Göttingen. His sons moved production to Dresden in 1891. The cigarette company of Halpaus to the Eckstein Halpaus was adopted in the 1920s by the former Cologne cigarette company Haus Neuerburg and immediately merged the company A. M. Eckstein & sons with Breslauer's company, which in turn was acquired in 1935 after cooperation with Reemtsma started in 1928, who hold the trademark rights to this day.[1] The brand was discontinued in August 2015.[2]
