From Cohiba Cigars:
Cohiba is back with a new expression of their popular Weller by Cohiba line. The 2024 release from the Dominican brand features a USA Broadleaf binder aged in the same barrels as the elusive Weller Full Proof bourbon.
The fourth cigar in the Weller by Cohiba lineup, this is the first to feature tobacco aged in Full Proof barrels. Previous releases featured tobacco aged in the same barrels as Weller 12 Year Bourbon and were styled after the bourbon’s distinguished black and gold packaging.
The continuation of these brands’ iconic partnership marries the intricacies of the cigar and bourbon crafts, leaning into the rarity of both the tobacco and bourbon offerings for an upscale cigar that should please cigar and bourbon enthusiasts alike.
Weller by Cohiba 2024 is made with an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, a barrel-aged USA Broadleaf Binder, and a filler blend of tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua. Weller Full Proof Bourbon is considered a collector’s bottle by many spirit connoisseurs. It is bottled at 114 proof and forgoes the traditional chill filtration process to preserve the bourbon’s natural notes of vanilla, dark cherries and caramel.
Sean Williams, brand ambassador for Cohiba, said, “Weller by Cohiba has become a staple in the Cohiba lineup and a great example of how the craftsmanship behind cigars and bourbon mirror one another. Going on this journey with a partner as esteemed as Weller Bourbon is a proud moment for Cohiba.”
Medium-to-full-bodied, Weller by Cohiba 2024 offers a rare and refined smoking experience. The cigar balances notes of bourbon, honey and cedar.
Weller by Cohiba 2024 is hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic. The cigars come in boxes with ten blue and gold tubos styled after the iconic Weller Full Proof packaging. Additional blends of Weller by Cohiba include 2021, 2022, and 2023. The cigar will ship to retailers at the end of September. The Weller Bourbon Collection is an award-winning member of the Sazerac spirits family. Its nine wheated bourbons are distilled by Buffalo Trace Distillery.
