Weller by Cohiba Returns with 2023 Edition
Cohiba is continuing its partnership with Weller Bourbon with a new release this year. Called Weller by Cohiba 2023, the new cigar is a follow-up to previous Cohiba and Weller collaborations from 2021 and 2022, though it features a unique blend. It is a limited-edition cigar slated for distribution in August of 2023.
Weller by Cohiba 2023 Blend Breakdown
Weller by Cohiba 2023 is a Nicaraguan-forward smoke with a Nicaraguan Jalapa wrapper and Nicaraguan Estelí and Jalapa filler tobaccos. In addition, Weller by Cohiba 2023 features a USA Broadleaf wrapper that was aged in Weller 12-Year bourbon barrels. (Weller 12-Year Bourbon has received a 93.5 rating from Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible and offers a smooth, balanced finish with hints of lanolin, almond, creamed corn, and toasty vanilla.) Lastly, the blend includes Brazilian Matafina filler tobacco as well.
The result is a medium-bodied cigar with a remarkable flavor profile characterized by tasting notes of bourbon, cedar, honey, and spice.
Cohiba Brand Ambassador Sean Williams said, “For our third blend of Weller by Cohiba, we deepened the exploration of barrel aging on tobacco. In calling upon Weller bourbon barrels to deepen the complexity of the binder leaf, we have added a layer of dimension that makes itself known not only on the palate but also through the aroma. This is a sophisticated cigar that pairs beautifully with bourbon or aged brown spirits and delivers a decadent smoking experience on its own.”
