The Story of Henri Wintermans

Henri Wintermans began his cigar-making journey more than a century ago.

Born in 1886 in the Dutch village of Duizel, Henri grew up in comfortable surroundings until tragedy struck. At just 15, following the sudden death of his mother, he and his eight siblings were left destitute. Forced to leave school, Henri found work rolling cigars - a craft in which he quickly excelled.

By the age of 18, Henri and his brother Sjaak opened their first cigar factory, naming it A. Wintermans & Sons in honour of their father. With Sjaak driving sales and Henri focused on sourcing tobacco and perfecting blends, the business flourished, even as many other cigar makers struggled.

In 1934, the brothers chose to part ways. Henri moved his share of the business to Eersel - still home to the brand today - and brought in his son Adriaan, then the same age Henri had been when he started, to help expand into the booming export market. It was here that the Henri Wintermans brand was born.

Adriaan officially took over in 1945, though Henri remained a familiar figure at the factory until his death in 1975 at the age of 89. The company continued to grow, and by the dawn of the new millennium was producing more than one billion cigars annually. Today, Henri Wintermans cigars are enjoyed in over 100 countries, making the brand one of the world’s leading cigar names.

To celebrate this heritage and the pioneering spirit of its founder, the famous Red Range has been rebranded as Henri Wintermans Founder’s Blend. The name has evolved, but the cigars remain the same - crafted from the finest Cuban, Indonesian, and Brazilian tobaccos, blended with the expertise perfected over generations.
