Año Viejo by Kafie LCA Cigar

It has come time for the LCA drop once again, and this time we will see a blend from the renowned boutique blender Kafie! Kafie is known for making small batch lines and supporting the new wave of boutique brands. As the year 2021 comes to an end, LCA has dropped the Año Viejo by Kafie. This 7×38 Lancero is produced as a celebration for a full year of amazing cigars released through Privada and LCA. Not only does this cigar hold much anticipation from a blender like Kafie, but it boasts aged tobacco from the wrapper, binder, and fillers! Gaby Kafie and Brian Desind were quoted to state the following on this Año Viejo.

“Translating to “Old Year,” Año Viejo is a holiday celebrated predominately in Columbia,
Ecuador, and Honduras-the birthplace of this cigar. Año Viejo is a New Year’s celebration
focused on purging the negativity of the old year to make room for the prosperity and happiness
to come in the New Year. The holiday involves a tradition of burning nondescript effigies that
are supposed to personify any unpleasantness of the old year, so think of burning this cigar as a
peaceful and relaxing opportunity to let go of any negativity from the old year and a celebration
of the year to come. Rolled at Tabacalera Kafie in Danlí, Honduras, Año Viejo is a 7×38 lancero
featuring a 4-year-aged Cloud Grown Ecuadorian Havana Natural Wrapper, a 3-year-aged
Honduran corojo binder from Jamastran, and 2-year-aged fillers from Estelí in Nicaragua plus 3-
year-aged fillers from Trojes in Honduras. The cigar has also been aged over a year since rolling.
“This is a one and done blend. It has never been made, and will never be made again.” -Dr. Gaby
Kafie
