Brand Details HB

HB is a German cigarette brand founded in 1953 by Martin Brinkmann AG in Bremen. It is particularly known for its iconic television commercials featuring Herbert, an animated character whose best-laid plans are constantly foiled — until an HB cigarette restores his calm, with the slogan 'Wer wird denn gleich in die Luft gehen?' (Why get worked up?). These commercials are considered among the most memorable in German television history. HB was long one of Germany's best-selling brands and remains a symbol of post-war German tobacco culture, now owned by British American Tobacco.
