The K-Fire 150°F Toro by K by Karen Berger made its debut in October 2023 and had its major launch in Las Vegas during the last PCA Trade Show. Over these months, it has positioned itself as one of the best-selling cigars in the United States. Now, Karen Berger announces a new size, K-Fire Mega, available in stores.
It features the same blend but in a 6×60 format, catering to those who already love the K-Fire but desire more smoke to accompany the rich flavor of the Negro San Andrés México wrapper, accentuated with the Habano Jalapa binder and Nicaraguan Estelí filler tobaccos. It’s worth noting that this second vitola, K-Fire Mega, joins the Box Pressed 6×52, available in boxes of 20 cigars.
Only in Estelí, Nicaragua—its place of origin—more than 25,000 women work in plantations, dryers, treatment centers, and cigar factories. However, few become entrepreneurs, CEOs, or owners, like Karen Berger, owner of Estelí Cigar Factory. Her flagship brand, K by Karen Berger, has earned international respect and prestige.
“It’s quite challenging for women to be taken seriously in this industry. People think we lack knowledge, even though as smokers, tobacco entrepreneurs, or businesswomen, we are expanding the market,” she says.
