General Cigar has announced a limited-release Weller by Cohiba Humidor set. The Weller by Cohiba Humidor includes three Weller by Cohiba cigars (2022, 2023 and 2024), two custom Weller by Cohiba whiskey glasses and a commemorative humidor enclosed in a branded gift box.
For those who may not be familiar with the world of spirits, Weller refers to a line of premium bourbons produced under the W.L. Weller brand. The name W.L. Weller stands for William Larue Weller (1825–1899), a distiller who is believed to be the first to create straight bourbon using wheat instead of rye in the mash bill. The Weller by Cohiba releases bring together the world of spirits and cigars. The different Weller by Cohiba blends use a Connecticut Broadleaf binder aged in Weller bourbon barrels.
Sean Williams, brand ambassador for Cohiba, said, “Cohiba’s partnership with Weller Bourbon has been a collaboration between two true masters of our respective crafts. Together, we were able to make this limited offering and allow both cigar and bourbon fans to try both side-by-side.”
The Weller by Cohiba Humidor set has an SRP of $150.00. The humidors are shipping this month.
