The cigarette company of Halpaus to the Eckstein Halpaus was adopted in the 1920s by the former Cologne cigarette company Haus Neuerburg and immediately merged the company A. M. Eckstein & sons with Breslauer's company, which in turn was acquired in 1935 after cooperation with Reemtsma started in 1928, who hold the trademark rights to this day.[1] The brand was discontinued in August 2015.[2]
