About Karen Berger

Known throughout the industry as the “Queen of Cigars,” Karen Berger’s journey is built on passion, resilience, and deep-rooted craftsmanship.

Born in Estelí, Nicaragua, Karen entered the cigar industry at just 18 years old, learning the demanding art of hand-rolling cigars while studying business administration. It was there she met her late husband, legendary master blender Enrique “Don Kiki” Berger.

Following his passing in 2014, Karen carried the legacy forward, transforming the company into one of the most respected boutique cigar operations in the industry today.

Karen now oversees every stage of production, from tobacco cultivation on her Nicaraguan farms to manufacturing at Estelí Cigars S.A., maintaining a true seed-to-cigar philosophy built on quality and authenticity.

Featured During the Event

Notorious Cigars by Conor McGregor

Come share a smoke, talk leaf, and spend the afternoon with one of the true personalities in modern premium tobacco.
