Holiday shoppers will get much more than they bargained for this year, thanks to the soon-to-be-released Cohiba® Connoisseur Collection, a handsome holiday gift pack that will be available at select tobacco retail stores beginning in early November.
Ideal for the leaf lover on every holiday shopper's list, the Cohiba Connoisseur Collection features three Cohiba Lonsdale Grande cigars (6 ¼" x 47), and a limited edition, Cohiba-branded XiKAR® Xi2 cutter. The items come displayed together, in a specially-designed mahogany gift box.
An exceptional value, the Cohiba Connoisseur Collection gift pack will be available for a suggested retail price of $49.98.
Bill Chilian, director of marketing for Cohiba comments, "When it comes to holiday shopping for a cigar lover, the Cohiba Connoisseur Collection gift pack makes a perfect gift because the Cohiba name is synonymous with quality and good taste. We expect that the Connoisseur Collection will not only be a fast-seller among gift buyers, but also among cigar smokers who want to treat themselves with an affordable splurge this holiday season."
