Press release was issued on
The firm of Lewis Osterweis &- Sons, cigar
and dealers ·· in leaf tobacco, did business · in New
Haven from 1860 to 1954. It was then probably the oldest cigar
factory in Connecticut operated by the founder's descendants,
as well as orie of the oldest in the country.
The founder of the firm, Lewis Osterwe-is ( 1836-1916)immigrated ·
to this country from Germany in 1849 as a boy of thirteen. He
wa'S apprenticed-· to a -_tobacco house by his uncle 7 Morris os-terweis-,
who had come to the United States from Horeb-Am-Main' Bavaria in
1?23. The- family's fortun~s· we.r e- linked to this indus-t ry da~ing
from- this youthful experience of the founder.
.
Following a stint as- a frontier cigar manufacturer in Fort
Madison, Iowa, Lewis moved to the Eiist in 1858-. He ma-rried Caroline
~~X~X~K Oppenheimer (1840-1921), a distant relative, in 1860, · and
settled in ' New Haven, . Connecticut, hi~ wife's - home.- Here he e~tab~
lished · ~ sm~ll cigar factory, osterweis and_ 6ppenheimer, with his
wife' ·s brother, Jos.eph Oppenheimer ( 183 5•18 78) as · his partner.
In his book, Three- Centuries gf ·~Haven, the.. founder's grandson,
Rollin G. Osterweis-: ( 1907-1982.) makes the following comments about
his grandfather and the Connecticut tobacco industry:
VII. Biographical note:
manufacturers~·
2/74
It was - in New Haven· that the so-called "Connecticuttype" cigar was developed, by the blending of Connecti-=·
cut Broadleaf wrapper and binder with the filler- of
Vuelta-Abajo Cuban · tobacco.· The pioneer .manufacturer,
Lewis Osterweis-~ had come- to know various· types of
leaf- as · an " apprentice cigar-maker in New York, as · a tobacco buyer in Cuba, and as the proprietor of a ·
sm~ll factory in Fort Madison, · .Iowa.

of the South Wind~or Broadleaf fields brought him
to New Haven in 1858. Two years later in May, 1860,
he opened a plant on Congress Avenue, moving to Church
Street near Chapel during 1863. His brands of blended
Connecticut and Cuban tobacco won immediate acceptance
beyond "the docks of the seaport towns."
After the death of his partner in 1878 Lewis . Osterweis bought
out his share in the company from his children. Joseph's widow,
Amalie Herz Oppenheimer (1841-1906) moved to Texas with her children,
as a branch of the Oppenheimers had settled there. The firm's name
became Lewis Osterweis, and with the births of h~s sons, Max (18661911) and Gustave (1870-1920) it became successively Lewis osterweis
and Son, and Lewis Osterweis and Sons.
osterweis had moved his factory from 75 Congress Avenue to
107 Church Street, and then to 91-93 Church Street in 1875. In
_ 1876, 91-93 Church Street was no longer suited for factory purposes,
and new facilities were constructed at 18-20-22 Church Street
according to Lewis Osterweis' specifications.
The two Osterweis sons entered the business, Max becoming head
of the Sales Department, ·while Gustave (alternatively spelled
Gustav) ran the factory. Lewis Osterweis remained concerned with
buying and selling leaf tobacco, and was regarded as an expert in
this area. He travelled to Havana to purchase "filler" for osterweis
cigars, as well as additional stock for resale.
Gustave osterweis, an 1891 alumnus of Yale University, ha~ married
his third cousin, Rose, daughter of Henry and Amelia Weingarten
Osterweis of New York City. Rose's brother, Dayton Osterweis, was
a World War I army veteran. He assumed management of the company
after the death of his brother-in-law.
The third generation of the family, which entered the business
was Rollin Gustav osterweis in 1932, and Harry Lewis osterweis in
1948. After several years Rollin left to become a professor of
history at Yale University. Harry practiced law in New York but
also ran the company in its last years.
The collection depicts the growth of a vital part of what was
once an ·important industry in New Haven and Connecticut. The entire
range of the industry is illustrated, from tobacco in the field to
the finished product. There is an account of all that contributed
to the manufacture of osterweis cigars and their distribution, from
the Cuban suppliers at the turn of the century, the Connecticut
tobacco growers, tobacco brokers and middlemen, tobacco products
wholesalers, and large ·chain retailers down to the small "cigar
stand" in an off~ce building lobby.
,
Topics touched on are: Labor relations, as seen in union
activity and an increase in government guidelines in this area;
the effect of World War II on production, prices and wages; postwar government price and wage controls.

New Haven industry, corset manufacture, through the Strouse Adler
Company.

of its assets were. sold to F. D. Grave & Sons.

For the Historial Record :
Where did Rollin Osterweis get the name Rollin from and what was the
Osterweis connection to the Strouse Adler Company in New Haven and
to Colonel Ullman - a close friend of the family?
Rollin's Grandfather Lewis, and Grandmother Caroline, had three
children, Gustave, Max and Sophie.
Gustave married Rose Osterweis .
Sophie Osterweis married Isaac Strouse of the Strouse Adler Company.
This made Gustave Osterweis and Isaac Strouse brother-in-laws.
Meanwhile, Isaac Ullman, called Colonel Ullman, married Max Adler's
daughter Flora. When Max Adler died, Colonel Ullman became head of
the Strouse Adler Company.
Colonel Ullman, got the name "Colonel" from being in the Governor's
Foot Guard. The Governor of Connecticut at the time was Rollin
Woodruff.
When Gustave and Rose had their first child - a son - Colonel Ullman
suggested the name "Rollin" after the Connecticut Governor. And so we
get Rollin - middle name after his father - Gustav - and thus Rollin G.
Osterweis.
When Rollin and his brother lost their father, Gustave, at the ages of II
and 9 respectively, Colonel Ullman suggested that they be sent to the
Taft School.
Colonel Ullman was a friend of William Howard Taft, the 27th president
of the United States, whose brother, Horace Taft, had founded and was
the Head Master of the Taft School in Watertown, CT. Rollin and harry
were then sent to Taft.
Rollin and Ruth Osterweis buy Max Adlers's home on St. Ronan Street in
1945 and lived there until their death in 1982.
The Historical Society has the architectural drawings of that house 396 St Ronan Street - in their collections.
