Reiner

Although Rudiger L. Will did not introduce his first tobacco under the Reiner name until 1990, his connection with tobacco had begun much earlier, particularly during his time at his father’s tobacco and cigar factory. After spending a brief period working in banking, he returned to the family business and completed a three-year apprenticeship. He then traveled to the United States, where the tobacco industry was experiencing a period of rapid growth. Upon returning home, he began developing his own blends, initially releasing them under the Reiner name, which specialized in Virginia and Burley blends, and later under the Solani name.
