Pappy Van Winkle inevitably comes to mind when it comes to fine aged bourbon. Now the Kentucky-based brand is making a limited edition stogie to puff with a few fingers of their storied whiskey.

As the name suggests, Pappy Van Winkle Barrel Fermented cigars are wrapped in a tapa-negra style wrapper that’s been fermented in Pappy bourbon barrels. Beneath that is a Mexican San Andres base wrapper and a blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos hand-selected by Jonathan Drew, founder of the Drew Estate in Esteli, Nicaragua.
