To celebrate a decade of cigar making, Kafie 1901 Cigars is releasing a 10th Anniversary Sampler. Packaged in what is described as an elegant silver box, this sampler pays homage to the Kafie family’s legacy in Central America. On the box you will see artwork that depicts the history of Dr. Kafie’s grandparents. All blends included in the sampler are handcrafted at La Aurora Cigar Factory, located in the Dominican Republic.

The collection will feature a cigar of each of the following blends: Kafie 1901 DF Maduro, Kafie 1901 Connecticut, Kafie 1901 Sumatra, Kafie 1901 San Andres, and Kafie 1901 Serie L Natural. Each of these cigars will be presented as a Toro, measuring 5 3/4 x 54. This will be a one-time offerings, meaning once the Kafie 1901 10th Anniversary Sampler sells out, it will not be re-produced.
These samplers will come as a set of 5 and packaged in a special display adorned with artwork of each blend and special nominations from Cigar Journal magazine over the years. The display will hold 25 cigars in total. Final pricing has not yet been set but Kafie 1901 expects each sampler to have a suggested retail price ranging from $57 to $59, and each cigar having a suggested retail price around $12.
Dr. Gaby Kafie’s time in the premium cigar industry began in 2013 as a collaboration with Tabacalera Puros Aliados. He was mentored by Rolando Reyes Sr., who helped him build and strengthen his skills. Eventually, Kafie established Tabacalera G. Kafie y Cia, a factory that operated from 2016 to 2021 in DanlĂ, Honduras. When that factory closed, Kafie 1901 shifted its cigar production to La Aurora Cigars in the Dominican Republic.
