History of Karen Berger Cigars
Karen Berger is a woman carving her path in a frequently male-dominated industry. However, it’s also a brand that honours those who came before.
Karen Berger is the widow of iconic cigar manufacturer Don Kiki Berger, who owned a cigar factory in Nicaragua going back to the 1990s. Karen started working in the factory at 18 as a tobacco roller, where she met the owner and eventually married.
Following Don Kiki’s death in 2014, Karen made it her mission to keep his legacy alive; and thus, the Karen Berger brand was born.
Karen Berger’s development has been slow and thoughtful, with respect paid at every turn to the traditions and craft of Nicaraguan cigars that have shaped her life. These cigars might not be as flashy as other brands, but there’s exquisite craftsmanship to be found and deep complexities that need to be savoured.
