The Kelner 80th Anniversary Limited Edition pays tribute to one of the most influential figures in modern cigar history, Henke Kelner. Created to commemorate his 80th birthday, this exceptional release embodies the Kelner family’s dedication to artistry, balance, and harmony in cigar making. Blended by Klaas Kelner in Santiago, this limited production captures the refinement and craftsmanship that have defined the Kelner legacy for nearly a century.
Each cigar is a beautifully constructed Diademas Finas (50 x 7) format — an elegant, tapered vitola that accentuates the complexity of the blend. The cigar features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper draped over a selection of aged Dominican tobaccos enriched with subtle Yamasá accents. This blend delivers a medium to medium-plus body, offering a nuanced evolution of flavors with every draw — a perfect reflection of Henke’s philosophy of balance and finesse.
On the palate, the Kelner 80 reveals layers of cedar, roasted almonds, cocoa, and warm spice, with a creamy undertone that ties the experience together. The draw is smooth and effortless, transitioning seamlessly from earthy sweetness to refined woodiness. Each cigar burns evenly, producing dense, aromatic smoke and a clean white ash — hallmarks of the family’s meticulous production standards.
Presented in a luxurious marble-finished box of ten cigars, the Kelner 80th Anniversary exudes sophistication from the first glance. Each humidor-style box features gold-embossed detailing, a custom Kelner seal, and includes an integrated Boveda humidity pack to ensure perfect preservation. Only 2,000 boxes were produced worldwide, with 1,500 allocated for the U.S. market, making this one of the most collectible Dominican releases of 2025.
For enthusiasts of Davidoff, AVO, and other Kelner-crafted icons, this cigar represents a defining moment in cigar heritage — a celebration of tradition, innovation, and legacy. The Kelner 80th Anniversary Limited Edition is more than a commemorative release — it’s a testament to a master blender’s lifetime devotion to the art of the cigar.
