As the holiday season approaches, General Cigar Co. is rolling out two limited-edition releases aimed at very different corners of the premium cigar world. Cohiba is extending its ongoing collaboration with Weller Bourbon through a new commemorative set, while Macanudo is offering a flavored sampler geared toward coffee enthusiasts.
The Weller by Cohiba Holiday Humidor Gift Set brings together four cigars from the project’s 2022–2025 run—some of which haven’t been available for years—paired with two Cohiba x Weller whiskey glasses. The set is positioned as a curated look at how the partnership has evolved, tracing changes in barrel aging and tobacco selection across each annual release.
“Our collaboration with Weller continues to be a unique partnership between two iconic brands committed to bringing exceptional offerings to the market,” said Sean Williams, Cohiba Brand Ambassador. “This year’s holiday release is exactly that, with a four-year flight of Weller by Cohiba blends showcasing the best of our tobacco elevated with the aging in Weller barrels set aside for this terrific project.”
Each year in the series highlights a different Weller Bourbon influence—from the original 2022 blend to the newest 2025 edition featuring a Broadleaf binder aged in Weller Antique 107 barrels. The gift set is expected to arrive at retailers in December with limited availability.
Meanwhile, Macanudo is releasing its own holiday offering: the M by Macanudo Coffee & Espresso Gift Set, a sampler focused on flavored cigars. The package includes seven Toros—four from the M Coffee line and three from M Espresso with Cream—along with a Macanudo-branded camp mug.
“The holidays are about being together with friends and family, and this sampler was created with that in mind,” said Matt Wilson, Senior Brand Manager for Macanudo. “Whether you’re gifting the entire box or sharing it during a gathering, the set has something for everyone to enjoy.”
The Macanudo sampler will also begin shipping to retailers in December.
Together, the releases give enthusiasts options on both ends of the spectrum: a bourbon-barrel-focused retrospective from Cohiba and Weller, and a coffee-inspired flavored lineup from Macanudo—each taking its own approach to seasonal gifting.
