  • ToG Announces The Titans of Tobacco 2026 Experience

    On June 10, The Tobacconist of Greenwich brings together six of the greatest cigar houses on earth for The Titans of Tobacco, an evening that will not be repeated. Arturo Fuente. Padron. La Flor Dominicana. Foundation Cigar Co. Tabacalera Diaz Cabrera. Kelner Cigar Factory. These are the makers — families and craftsmen who have spent generations building legacies in leaf. Seating is extremely limited and tickets start at $1,750.00

    The Titans of Tobacco is a one-night collector’s experience built around the people who matter most — an intimate Meet the Makers with Carlito Fuente Jr., Jorge Padrón, Litto Gomez, Henke & Klaas Kelner, Eladio Diaz, and Nicholas Melillo — six architects of the cigars you’ve spent years hunting down. Every ticket includes 18 rare cigars curated for the evening, access to a ten-lot rare cigar auction assembled from all six houses, a five-course dinner with open bar, and live entertainment and raffles to close the night. There is no other event like this in the cigar world. There will not be one like it again.

  • Kelner Cigars Announces Kelner 80 Limited Edition

    Kelner Cigars has announced the release of Kelner LE 80, a limited-edition cigar created in honor of legendary blender Henke Kelner’s 80th birthday this December. The project is a deeply personal collaboration between Henke and his son, Master Blender and CEO Klaas Kelner, crafted at the Kelner Cigars factory in Santiago.

    The Kelner LE 80 features a sophisticated Diademas Finas (7 x 50) format wrapped in a silky Ecuadorian Habano leaf with touches of Yamasá tobacco, delivering the refined balance of sweetness and spice synonymous with the Kelner family’s Dominican craftsmanship.

    “Creating this cigar for my father was deeply personal,” said Klaas Kelner. “Every aspect of the Kelner LE 80 reflects his commitment to excellence and his influence on generations of cigar makers.”

    Hendrik Kelner added, “This cigar represents not just my legacy, but our family’s ongoing commitment to the art of fine tobacco. It captures everything I’ve loved about cigars—complexity, balance, and the unmistakable Dominican character we’ve spent decades perfecting.”

    Each Kelner LE 80 will be presented in custom-designed boxes of 10 cigars, complete with Boveda humidification, combining elegant presentation with thoughtful preservation. Production is limited to 2,000 boxes (20,000 cigars), with 1,500 boxes allocated to the U.S. market.

    The Kelner LE 80 will retail at $57 per cigar / $570 per box and will arrive at select premier tobacconists worldwide beginning in late November to early December 2025.
