Karen Berger Cameroon

With the K by Karen Berger Cameroon line, the Nicaraguan entrepreneur impressively demonstrates how tradition and a spirit of experimentation can go hand in hand. These cigars feature a rare Cameroon wrapper, prized for its subtle sweetness and aromatic depth. Unlike most Cameroon cigars, these vitolas are box-pressed (except for the Salomones, of course) – an unusual yet technically demanding choice, as the delicate wrapper is prone to tearing. The result is a refined appearance and a balanced smoking experience that appeals to seasoned aficionados and curious newcomers alike.

Karen Berger – Passion from Estelí

In Estelí, the heart of Nicaragua’s cigar production, Karen Berger runs her own company with a clear vision: quality without compromise. She began her career in Nicaragua’s cigar factories, learning the craft from the ground up. After the passing of her husband, Enrique “Don Kiki” Berger, in 2014, she took on his legacy. Since 2016, she has made a name for herself in the cigar world with a fully revised portfolio of Karen Berger Cigars. Today, she confidently leads a brand known for its handmade cigars with a distinctive character. Her collaborations with renowned tobacco masters like A.J. Fernandez for her limited anniversary editions underscore how influential she has become in the industry.

Complex Flavors and Subtle Balance

The K by Karen Berger Cameroon opens with notes of nuts and a hint of dark chocolate. As the smoke develops, refined touches of honey, earth, and coffee emerge, accompanied by a gentle peppery spice. Hints of citrus and a subtle fruity sweetness round off the profile. The strength is medium, and the smoke output is smooth yet present. These cigars are a testament to skilled craftsmanship and delicate blending – a Nicaraguan interpretation of the classic Cameroon profile that offers lasting enjoyment.
