General Cigar has announced a limited release Weller by Humidor set. The Weller by 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 don’t follow the spirits world, Weller refers to a line of premium bourbons sold under the W.L. Weller brand. W.L. Weller stands for William Larue Weller (1825–1899). He was a distiller who supposedly was the first to produce 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 give both cigar and bourbon fans an opportunity to try both side-by-side.”
The Weller by Cohiba Humidor set has an SRP of $150.00. The humidors are shipping this month.
