At this year’s Whisky Live Festival, whisky wasn’t the only thing drawing admiration. Amid the clinking glasses and smoky notes, one African brand stood out, Bongani Cigars, Africa’s first premium cigar brand redefining luxury from the continent outward.
Founder Kamal Moukheiber joins us to share how Bongani which means “be grateful” in Zulu began as a bold idea in Maputo and has grown into a symbol of African craftsmanship and pride. From rolling cigars by hand in Mozambique to competing with the world’s finest Cuban and Dominican blends, Bongani is proving that Africa can produce excellence in every puff.
