The Kafie Family Legacy, Built Since 1901

For more than 124 years, the Kafie family has been deeply rooted in the agricultural traditions of Central America. From coffee and textiles to cattle and to***co, every generation has followed the same guiding principles that built our name: discipline, integrity, ethics, transparency, and respect for the land and the people who work it.

But our legacy extends far beyond business. At the heart of everything we do is a simple mission, to help others and to build a better country, a better community, and a better society for everyone around us. This commitment shapes our decisions, our partnerships, and the way we approach our craft each and every day.

These values guide every cigar we create today at Kafie 1901.
Our box design is more than packaging. It is a visual representation of our family’s heritage and the principles that continue to define us.
• The shield symbolizes protection of tradition and our responsibility to preserve craftsmanship for generations to come.
• The year 1901 honors the beginning of our family’s journey, a reminder that our roots run deep and our purpose runs even deeper.
• The detailed lines and classic typography reflect the elegance, structure, and discipline we demand from our blends, balanced, refined, and meaningful.
• The overall design celebrates the artisans whose hands shape every cigar, echoing the same dedication our family has upheld for more than a century.

When you pick up a Kafie 1901 box, you are holding more than ci**rs. You are holding a century-long story of family, faith, and craftsmanship, a legacy built on service, community, and the unwavering belief that our work should uplift others.

When the name means so much, quality is a must ... In everything we do.

When you truly love what you do, you push yourself far beyond the boundaries of the craft. Passion becomes discipline, discipline becomes mastery, and mastery becomes a lifelong pursuit of excellence. This journey is about being among the best in the world at what you do, every single day.

There is a reason I chose to partner with the most historic cigar factory in the Dominican Republic, a factory with more than 120 years of expertise in curing, fermenting, aging, and blending premium to***co. They have perfected the art of the premium cigar in a way that only generations of dedication can produce.

Everything I have learned throughout my career, which is far more than most people ever see within this industry, has deepened my respect for to***co. I have worked alongside the best, operated my own factory for half a decade, and gained firsthand knowledge of what it truly takes to craft world-class ci**rs.

And the truth is simple, the highest level of quality can only be achieved with deep to***co reserves, patient aging, and an unwavering commitment to consistency, resources that only a few legendary factories possess. Year after year, their blends remain true, refined, and reliable because excellence is built into their DNA.

I am humbled and honored that our family is now part of one of those iconic institutions. Standing beside them is not only a privilege, it is a testament to our belief in doing things the right way, with integrity, respect, and a dedication to creating ci**rs worthy of history.

We’re living in an era defined by self-promotion and artificially manufactured hype. An era where paid influencers can create the illusion of success, value, and credibility, often without the substance to back it up. The louder the noise, the more people assume something is real.

But here’s the truth: attention is not achievement, and hype is not legacy.

We see brands buying followers, paying for reviews, hiring influencers to “pretend” they love a product, and creating short-term excitement that fades as quickly as it was purchased. It’s the new currency of the digital age, manufactured relevance.

But real craftsmanship… real character… real value… never needs to shout.

In any industry, whether it’s ci**rs, coffee, art, or anything in between, authenticity speaks louder than any influencer campaign ever will. You cannot buy loyalty. You cannot purchase respect. You cannot manufacture passion.

Those things are earned through:
• Consistency
• Quality
• Honesty
• Time
• And genuine connection

Hype may win the moment, but authenticity wins the years.

As we move deeper into this era of paid applause, may we all remember that the foundation of true success is built quietly, one day, one customer, one meaningful interaction at a time.

Let others chase attention.
We will chase excellence.

The coffee industry recently proved something powerful to the U.S. Government:

For every $1 lost in coffee revenue due to tariffs, the U.S. economy loses more than $45 in total economic impact.

This data was undeniable. It demonstrated how deeply connected small agricultural industries are to American jobs, American businesses, and the American economy.

That victory matters, not only for coffee, but for every Central American artisanal product that enters the U.S. market.

Today, the premium cigar industry is facing the same threat. With proposed tariffs on countries like Nicaragua, Honduras, and even the Dominican Republic, nations with long-standing, friendly, and cooperative relationships with the United States, our small manufacturers are being placed at risk.

These tariffs don’t just impact producers abroad.
They impact hundreds of American small businesses:
• Importers
• Boutique brands
• Retailers and lounges
• Logistics companies
• U.S. workers who depend on this supply chain
• Consumers who enjoy and support premium cigar culture

The BCA represents boutique cigar manufacturers, all of them family-owned, small-batch operations. If coffee data showed that a $1 tariff loss creates a $45+ drag on the U.S. economy, imagine the ripple effect across the premium cigar sector, where every cigar touches farming, fermentation, manufacturing, shipping, distribution, retail, hospitality, and tourism.

Tariffs on friendly nations don’t strengthen the U.S. They weaken American small businesses, jeopardize American jobs, and create instability in long-standing trade alliances that have benefited our country for decades.

The Boutique Cigar Association stands firm:
Small businesses should not be punished by policies that ignore the real economic impact of artisanal industries. We urge policymakers to recognize the importance of Central American trade partnerships, the strength of the premium cigar community, and the true value of boutique cigar manufacturers to the U.S. economy.

Our industry matters.
Our families matter.
Our economic impact matters.
