Drew Estate Appoints GRE Trade as New German Distributor

Drew Estate will begin a new chapter in Germany with GRE Trade GmbH as its exclusive distributor from January 2026, strengthening its European presence and market strategy.

Drew Estate Expands Its Reach in Germany

Drew Estate, known for its innovative premium cigars, has announced a new distribution partnership in Germany. From 1 January 2026, the brand will be represented by GRE Trade GmbH, marking a significant shift in its European operations.

This move follows Drew Estate’s decision to end its partnership with Scandinavian Tobacco Group, which had handled the brand’s German distribution until now. The new arrangement aims to bolster Drew Estate’s footprint in one of Europe’s key cigar markets.

GRE Trade GmbH: A Growing Name in Premium Cigars

Although GRE Trade GmbH is a relatively new player in the handmade cigar industry, it has quickly gained attention. The company recently took on distribution of Gurkha cigars in Germany and now adds Drew Estate to its growing portfolio.

GRE Trade operates under DanCzek Teplice A.S., a Czech firm with a long-standing presence in the tobacco industry, best known for its cigarette business. In Germany, GRE Trade is led by Olaf Ruf, the former head of Davidoff Germany.

“By adding Drew Estate’s brands, we gain a manufacturer that stands for innovation and top quality,” Ruf said. “We look forward to offering these exceptional cigars to our customers and growing the German market together.”

A Shared Vision for Premium Cigar Growth

Drew Estate’s CEO, Glenn Wolfson, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. “Germany is an important market for us,” he said. “With GRE Trade, we have found a strong partner who shares our passion for premium cigars. We look forward to expanding our brand presence and achieving success together.”

With this agreement, Drew Estate aligns with a distributor that mirrors its energy and ambition, reinforcing its global message of “The Rebirth of Cigars.”
