The K-Fire by Karen Berger was named after the high temperatures that pilones (or piles) of tobacco leaves reach during fermentation. On average a single pile can weigh approximately 3,500 pounds. The leaves’ moisture and the weight of the piles generate heat that can reach up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. This starts the fermentation process. The K-Fire cigar features a dark chocolatey Mexican San Andres wrapper, which covers an Ecuadorian Habano binder and a Nicaraguan filler. This savory three nation blends offers a memorable smoking experience that is well-balanced and rich in flavors and aromas.
