General Cigar Co. Teases Cohiba Connecticut
It appears that there will soon be a new, lighter offering to General Cigar Co.’s Cohiba brand. Sean Williams, the brand’s national ambassador and a blender for the brand, recently posted a picture of the Cohiba Connecticut to his Instagram account.
While details about the new line have not yet been released by General Cigar Co., the cigar has been found on at least one retailer’s website. Based on that information, the cigar uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, a dual binder of Mexican and Brazilian tobacco and a filler of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco.
The line is being offered in three sizes, though the robusto vitola is offered in a crystal tube as well:
- Cohiba Connecticut Gigante (6 x 60) — $22 (Boxes of 20, $440)
- Cohiba Connecticut Robusto (5 1/2 x 52) — $20 (Boxes of 20, $400)
- Cohiba Connecticut Robusto Crystal Tubes (5 1/2 x 52) — $20.50 (Boxes of 10, $205)
- Cohiba Connecticut Toro (6 1/2 x 52) — $21 (Boxes of 20, $420)
Emails sent to General Cigar Co. seeking additional information about the Cohiba Connecticut have not yet been returned.
Shortly after the story was published, Sean Williams contacted halfwheel to say that official details are still being finalized and will be forthcoming.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
