Why Landewyck?
Everything you always wanted
Independent family business
In the year 1847, Josephine van Landewyck and Jean-Pierre Heintz established a tobacconist shop in Luxembourg. Over the years, the business of yore grew to become Landewyck Tobacco – one of the most respected 100% family-owned, independent tobacco manufacturers in the world today.
