Kafie 1901 will be releasing their 10th Anniversary Sampler at the PCA 2024 Tradeshow in Las Vegas later this month.
Brand owner Dr. Kafie’s journey began in 2013, collaborating with the esteemed heirs of Rolando
Reyes Sr. at Tabacalera Puros Aliados (makers of Cuba Aliados, Puros Indios, and Cienfuegos Cigars). Mentored by Reyes, Dr. Kafie honed his skills and eventually established Tabacalera G. Kafie y Cia. Between 2016 and 2021 in Danli, Honduras, Kafie produced cigars for both his own brands and others.
In the face of adversity with the 2021 pandemic and hurricanes devastating Honduras, Dr. Kafie took steps to secure his company’s future. Relocating production to Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, he partnered with La Aurora Cigars Factory to create new blends. The first result was in a Dominican Puro featuring tobaccos from the Cibao Valley, the Serie L Natural.
The 10th Anniversary Sampler encapsulates a decade in the industry for Dr. Kafie. The cigars are encased in a silver box that includes artwork depicting the history of Dr. Kafie’s grandparents. The sampler pays homage to the Kafie family’s rich legacy in Central America. All blends are hand crafted at La Aurora Cigars Factory.
The collection will feature a cigar of each of the following blend in the Toro Vitola 5 3/4 x 54:
Kafie 1901 DF Maduro
Kafie 1901 Connecticut
Kafie 1901 Sumatra
Kafie 1901 San Andres
Kafie 1901 Serie L Natural
This is a limited production sampler. MSRP pricing has not been finalized yet, but is expected to be $57.00 – $59.00 for the collection with a MSRP of $12.00 per cigar.
