Weller by Cohiba is a collaboration between two masters of their respective crafts, with exceptional Cohiba tobacco aged in Weller Bourbon barrels, giving the blend a unique, indulgent flavor with a smooth finish. The blend features tobacco aged in barrels that previously held Weller bourbon, with the 2024 release specifically using a broadleaf binder aged in barrels that held Weller Full Proof Bourbon (114-proof whiskey), wrapped in an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over fillers from the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua. Professional reviews describe it as "strong as the dark, toothy wrapper suggests" with "malty, earthy smoke with dark-roasted coffee notes and black pepper spiciness" and "touches of chocolate and vanilla add a light sweetness."
This limited-edition release represents the ongoing collaboration between General Cigar Co.'s Dominican Cohiba brand and Weller, one of the most sought-after bourbon labels in the Buffalo Trace portfolio. Each year, General has released a single new Weller by Cohiba vitola utilizing a different blend, with most featuring at least one tobacco aged in barrels that previously held Weller bourbon. While previous releases (2021, 2022 and 2023) had binder leaves aged in Weller 12-Year Bourbon barrels, the 2024 edition was made with binders aged in a barrel that once held Weller Full Proof Bourbon. Made in the Dominican Republic at General Cigar Dominicana, the cigars are crafted with meticulous attention to quality and presentation.
The smoking experience delivers "a delicious and creamy full bodied cigar with notes of cocoa and leather" that "pairs elegantly with the wheated profile of Weller's Bourbon that's aged for twelve years." Each cigar is packaged in individual aluminum tubes and comes in ten-count boxes. With only 2,500 boxes produced, this represents a highly sought-after limited release for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a premium smoking experience that bridges the worlds of fine cigars and premium bourbon.
