At 18, Karen Berger began rolling cigars in her hometown of Estelí, Nicaragua. At the factory she met Enrique “Kiki” Berger, who later became her husband and taught her how to harvest and blend tobacco. In 2016 she introduced K by Karen Berger with two box-pressed cigars, Habano and Maduro. The K on the band stands for both Karen and Kiki.

Karen Berger FAQ

What does the K on the band stand for?

It stands for Karen and her late husband, Enrique “Kiki” Berger. The Habano and Maduro were the first two blends she released under their shared initial in 2016.

How do the four blends differ?

The maker describes vanilla and cocoa in the Connecticut, coffee and spice in the Habano, and a drier profile with coffee and fruit notes in the Cameroon. The Maduro uses a dark wrapper over tobacco from Estelí.

What is the difference between the Robusto and Toro?

Both have a 52 ring gauge. The Robusto measures 5 inches long and the Toro measures 6 inches. We carry both sizes in all four blends.


Why Karen Berger?

The original Habano and Maduro offer a side-by-side look at Karen Berger’s early blending work. Both use Nicaraguan tobacco throughout and share a box-pressed shape. Choosing the same size in each makes it easier to pick out the Habano’s coffee and spice alongside the darker Maduro.
