Kelner (KBF)
Kelner is a Dominican house built on the Kelner family legacy, led by master blender Henke Kelner, born in Germany, and his son Hendrik Kelner Jr. It offers premium cigars of medium to medium-full strength, with carefully constructed rolls, including the Kelner LE 80 in the Diadema format.
History
Henke Kelner, born in Germany, settled in the Dominican Republic in the 1970s. He became a key figure at Tabacalera Palma and helped expand major Dominican brands in the U.S. market. His son, Hendrik Kelner Jr., continues the legacy and has developed new lines under the Kelner name. After years of producing cigars for other companies, the family chose to release cigars under its own label. The brand was created to honor this family trajectory and place the surname front and center. The Kelner LE 80, created to celebrate Henke Kelner's 80th birthday, marks an important milestone for the house.
