Cohiba And Faberge Collaborate On Emerald Isle Collection
Cohiba and Faberge have collaborated on The Emerald Isle Collection – a creation that celebrates the ‘seven wonders of Ireland’ and also comes with two bottles of 30-year-old Irish whiskey supplied by The Craft Irish Whiskey Company.
The pair of 30-year-old single malt Irish whiskies has been aged in 200-litre ex-bourbon, first-fill American oak casks and finished in a single Pedro Ximénez sherry barrel.
For their contribution to the Emerald Isle Collection, Faberge has included a handcrafted Celtic Egg, made from 18k yellow gold and set with a diamond Celtic knot that frames a colored gemstone at the center. Additionally, The Emerald Isle Collection also features a handcrafted Fabergé Altruist 18k rose gold timepiece.
For their part, Cohiba has supplied a humidor with two Cohiba Siglo VI Grand Reserva cigars and a gold-plated cigar cutter.
Additional elements of the Emerald Isle Collection include a gold-plated water pipette, obsidian whiskey stones, a hip flask with a sample of the Emerald Isle whiskey, and a carafe filled with Irish spring water from the same region where the whiskey was made.
The Emerald Isle Collection will be available at a private auction in Houston, Texas, on February 2, 2021.
The Craft Irish Whiskey Co has pledged 100% of the proceeds from the sale of each set to charity, with the company donating 50% of the proceedings to the Correa Family Foundation [supports children affected by serious illness] and the remaining 50% to be donated to a charity determined by the buyer.
