Cigar Aficionado · Feb 7, 2023 · Cigar Insider

Topped with a round head, this cigar is as strong as the dark, toothy wrapper suggests. It’s a malty, earthy smoke with dark-roasted coffee notes and black pepper spiciness. Touches of chocolate and vanilla add a light sweetness. Combustion and draw are both even throughout.

If I'm being tasked with whether the Weller by Cohiba 2023 lives up to its billing of being a deeper exploration of the effects of barrel aging on tobacco, I'm not sure I could answer that fairly. This is one of those situations where the components really need to be tasted on their own as well as in combination to do what I would consider to be a fair comparison to the previous blend. What I can say is that on its own, the cigar has a number of impressive qualities. The opening notes are bright and attention-grabbing, and while the pepper can be a bit dominant, it is impressive to experience the progression to the zenith around the midpoint. Also, this was a blend that started to really grow on me with each subsequent cigar and the more attention I gave them, as the nuances of its changes entertain the senses and engage the mind in keeping track of them. While I would have liked a bit more complexity and balance in spots, the Weller by Cohiba 2023 is a solid cigar that I enjoyed smoking and would revisit again, hopefully this time with a pour of Weller as an accompaniment.
