Scandinavian Tobacco Group Partners with Buffalo Trace Distillery for Prohibition Collection Series #2
Scandinavian Tobacco Group and Sazerac & Co. have partnered to create the Buffalo Trace Distillery Prohibition Collection. The second in the series, The Prohibition Collection cigar set offers five blends in individually numbered box sets, designed in kind with their whiskey counterpart.
This collection marks eleven total cigars that STG and Buffalo Trace Distillery have made together.
The Buffalo Trace Distillery Prohibition Collection Series #2 offers five unique blends and launches in conjunction with Buffalo Trace Distillery Prohibition Collection Series 2 whiskey. Pairing the corresponding whiskey and cigar offers a unique and extremely limited tasting experience for whiskey and cigar enthusiasts.
“A glass of whiskey and a fine cigar form a timeless pairing, embodying craftsmanship and the joy of savoring life’s finest moments,” said Andrew Duncan, Global Brand Director, Buffalo Trace Distillery. “Our Prohibition Collection commemorates brands produced at Buffalo Trace over a century ago that were once lost to time but have now returned with some of our best whiskies to delight the modern palate. Forward-looking, partnering with the Scandinavian Tobacco Group, who share our passion for innovation, allows us to continue creating exceptional experiences for connoisseurs to enjoy for centuries.”
With only 750 individually numbered boxes available, each blend provides a unique flavor profile from a variety of regions. Ed Hall, Sr. Brand Manager, commented, “Customers can expect a variety of flavor profiles across the blends ranging from medium-to medium-full cigars with hints of dry fruit, allspice, and leather. This balanced smoking experience coats the palate with silky light smoke and has a long finish. This collection showcases our expertise by developing a set of distinctive profiles for even the most expert cigar enthusiast.”
