K by Karen Berger Now Shipping K-Fire
K by Karen Berger is now shipping boxes of K-Fire, a 6 x 52 box-pressed toro made up of a Mexican San Andrés wrapper covering a habano binder from Jalapa, Nicaragua and a filler blend of tobaccos grown in Nicaragua. The regular production cigars are being rolled at the company’s Estelí Cigars S.A. factory in Nicaragua and have an MSRP of $14.50 each, with 20-count boxes priced at $290.
According to the company, the name of the K-Fire line is taken from a term used at the company’s Estelí Cigars S.A. factory that refers to the temperature of 150 degrees, which is the temperature that pilónes of tobacco—which typically weighs between 3,500 and 4,000 pounds—can reach while the tobacco is being processed.
In a text message, Bruce Busch, vice-president of K by Karen Berger, told halfwheel that boxes of K-Fire began shipping to retailers last week.

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
