The premium cigar industry can best be described as being fragmented. It is divided between two classes. The traditional multi-generation cigar families and the new up and coming young blood of the industry. Today we highlight what it truly takes to make it in the premium cigar industry. These are qualities that cannot be bought or sold. Honestly, integrity, trust, knowledge, and respect. We must always honor and respect those who came before us as they are the ones that paved the way for all future generations. We must always pay our respects. Always. This is what Protecting the Legacy is all about. The industry is in the hands of the next generation, how we care for this industry will dictate the future success of us all. The legacy brands have afforded us all the luxury to be a part of this industry. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

The Kafie Chronicles

The Kafie Chronicles with Dr. Gaby Kafie explores the people, places, traditions, and stories behind tobacco, coffee, business, culture, and craftsmanship.

From the tobacco fields and cigar factories of the New World to the ancient traditions, trade routes, and cultures of the Old World, each episode is a conversation about history, entrepreneurship, family, quality, and the pursuit of excellence.

Hosted by Dr. Gaby Kafie, founder of Kafie 1901, the podcast brings together cigar makers, coffee producers, entrepreneurs, industry leaders, craftsmen, historians, and fascinating people from around the world.

Tobacco. Coffee. Culture. People.
