History
The house belongs to the story of the Meerapfel family, long established in the tobacco industry. Jérémie Meerapfel's grandfather, Heller Meerapfel, was among the largest buyers of Cuban tobacco, a lineage that built the family's expertise. The creation of La Estancia was then led by brothers Jérémie and Joshua Meerapfel, who currently run Meerapfel & Söhne. They drew on the family's reserves of Cuban tobacco to design an exclusive range for the European market.
