A Cohiba Humidor With A Biometric Fingerprint Scanner
An upcoming, limited-edition humidor by General Cigar Co. not only features a collection of non-Cuban Cohiba cigars, but keeps them safe via a biometric scanner that reads your fingerprint.
Once the security scanner grants access, the double doors of the Cohiba Biometric Humidor reveal eight drawers that are filled with 106 toros representing an anthology of the Cohiba brand: the original Cohiba XV; three Cohiba Spectre blends (from 2018, 2019 and 2021); Cohiba Silencio, an event exclusive; Cohiba Edición Diamante; Cohiba Royale; and Cohiba Red Dot Reserve, a blend which was created exclusively for this release. Both the XV and Edición Diamante have been brought back for this release, as both cigars were discontinued. The 2018 Spectre, which was originally a large Churchill size, was changed to a toro in order to fit the humidor, though the blend is the same.
Limited to a production of just 130 humidors, the humidor measures 13 inches high by 15 1/4 inches wide and 8 1/2 inches deep with a suggested retail price of $5,500. A physical key is also included, should the scanner need to be overridden.
Although General is accepting pre-orders now, the Cohiba Biometric Humidor isn’t expected to ship until the middle of this month.
