Wolsdorff Tobacco

It was “the great love of cigars” that prompted the Hamburg merchant Emil Karl Ferdinand Wolsdorff to open his first shop on May 7, 1907 on Georgsplatz in Hamburg. He wanted to operate a widespread trade in cigars and therefore planned two things: Firstly, the development of a WOLSDORFF own brand range with exclusive varieties, made by quality manufacturers in Westphalia and Baden-Württemberg. Second, the establishment of an extensive branch network in all major cities in Germany in order to achieve a nationwide distribution of its brands. Both were successfully created and expanded. Soon, in addition to the WOLSDORFF cigars, the diverse range also included renowned imports, tobacco, cigarettes, pipes and accessories. WOLSDORFF quickly made a name for itself among smokers with a top-class selection and expert advice at the highest level. Selling high-quality tobacco products in an advisory capacity instead of distributing goods, that was and is the motto at WOLSDORFF: "When the customer leaves the shop satisfied, happy and feeling happy, then the specialist shop has properly fulfilled its service task," so it put it Werner Wolsdorff. There are now around 170 WOLSDORFF branches throughout Germany.
