About Hansa-Krüll
Hansa-Krüll is a pipe tobacco that Pöschl Tabak launched in 1949, when it entered the smoking tobacco market alongside the fine-cut Adria. The company's own timeline marks that as its first move beyond snuff, which it had sold since 1902, and its current product page still lists Hansa-Krüll among its brands. It is one of the older pipe tobaccos in the range, which also includes Exklusiv and the Golden Blend's brand.

About the owner: Pöschl Tabak
Pöschl Tabak is a privately held company headquartered in Geisenhausen, Germany, founded in 1902. Brandtree records 6 brands under its control.
Pöschl Tabak is a family-owned German tobacco maker in Geisenhausen, near Landshut, which calls itself the world's largest producer of snuff and the leading German manufacturer of tobacco products independent of any group. Alois Pöschl began selling snuff on 24 December 1902; the fourth generation of the family now runs it. It also makes fine-cut, pipe tobacco and, since 2008, the Pueblo cigarette. Its group page counts eleven subsidiaries and four investment companies and says it exports to more than 100 countries. Gawith Hoggarth distributes Pueblo in the UK. Brookfield, Gawith snuff, Radford and Golden Blend's appear on Pöschl's brand lists too but are left out because Gawith Hoggarth also lists some of them as its own.
