The next time you attend a Cohiba event at your local tobacconist, you might see a new cigar being offered: the Cohiba Silencio.
The cigar is being added as an event-only release, and will be primarily at events where Sean Williams is present. Williams, formerly of El Primer Mundo, joined General Cigar Co. in May 2017 as the Cohiba brand ambassador.
As for the cigar, it is a 6 x 50 toro with a Nicaraguan wrapper, Cameroon binder and fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Silencio was blended in part by Williams, who calls it “my signature Cohiba offering. “The blend is a balance of key components from the Cohiba Red Dot profile and staples from my profile over the years,” Williams told halfwheel.
It is being offered in 10-count boxes and is made at the STG Estelí factory. There is no MSRP for the cigar as it is only available with purchase of other products in the Cohiba portfolio. Williams told halfwheel that it is “limited, but not limited edition” when asked about how many are being produced.
