The Cohiba Silencio, a cigar made as a private blend for brand ambassador Sean Williams, is now in stores.

General Cigar Co. has begun shipping the Cohiba Silencio gift sets, which contain four cigars packaged into a box that doubles as an ashtray. The 6 x 50 Silencio uses a Nicaraguan wrapper over a Cameroon binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

Pricing is set at $150 per box of four and it is limited to just 498 gift sets.

Silencio has previously been offered at events where Williams attended as a not-for-sale promotional item. Unlike most of the General-owned Cohiba brand, the cigar is made at STG Estelí as opposed to General Cigar Dominicana.

Update — The original version of this story indicated that the gift sets included five cigars, it is four.
