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 new release refers to the temperature of 150 degrees, which is the temperature that pilónes of tobacco—which typically weigh 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 been smoking cigars for over eight years. A documentary wedding photographer by trade, I spent seven years as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star Telegram. I started the cigar blog SmokingStogie in 2008 after realizing that there was a need for a cigar blog with better photographs and more in-depth information about each release. 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. I am a co-founder of halfwheel and now serve as an editor for halfwheel.
