Swiss luxury watchmaker Frederique Constant has collaborated with classic cigar brand Cohiba on a new limited edition watch and humidor set. The timepieces are designed to evoke the masculine sophistication of the Cohiba brand. The luxury watches feature an elegant case inspired by Toro shaped cigars, an ivory colored dial, tobacco brown Roman numerals and a hand-sewn tobacco brown calfskin strap.The humidor is designed to hold the watch as well as several Cohiba cigars. The watches will be available in a limited run of 188 numbered pieces in stainless steel for $1,650 and 188 pieces in rose gold plate for $1,750. Constant and Cohiba will launch the exclusive timepieces at an event on Sept. 22, 2010 at Club Macanudo in New York.

Seriously, when fake (non Cuban ripoff) Cohiba is presented as exclusive then it's as bad for the brands involved as it possibly can be.

At the trade show this year in New Orleans, Cohiba seemed to be heading back in the direction of focusing on producing premium cigars.

I'm sure Bacca, as well as all the other online cigar shops are looking forward to what's coming from Cohiba.

I think Frederique Constant's association with Cohiba is a creative one. We've seen cars and sports galore. Why not cigars? Where you've got men (and some women) and watches, you usually got the right occasion to fire up a cigar. A nice way to pass the time (unintended pun). I give my thoughts on it. If you're interested, jump on over for a read.
