Byron Epique Poemas 19th Century Limited Edition 7 x 54

The history of this brand dates back to the middle of the 19th century, under the name Lord Byron, originally a Cuban brand created by two cousins Jose and Eusebio Alfonso, who opened a small cigar factory near Havana. The brand enjoyed success for years, but during the Great Depression, the brand was sold and these Cuban cigars disappeared. Almost 150 years later, Nelson Alfonso, who is the great-great-great-grandson of the original owner, re-established the Byron brand name as an ultra-premium cigar. Byron 19th Century are made from aged selected tobaccos: Ecuadorian Habano wrapper leaf, bonding tobacco from Ecuador and fillers from Peru and Nicaragua. They are made in Costa Rica, with a limited production of 500 boxes (humidors) or 40,000 cigars and can only be purchased in a few stores around the world that are certified by the manufacturer. The cigars are aged for five years in medium to strong cedar barrels with a complex aroma profile of cedar nuances, cocoa, leather, coffee, cinnamon and fruit notes. Each box is a humidor and is individually numbered, made from hazel wood and designed to stand upright with two magnetically closing doors that open to the side. The side doors hold 5 cigars each, secured with a hazelnut wood magnetic strip, one door features a hygrometer and the other a thermometer. The central part of the humidor contains 20 cigars and has a built-in humidifier. The humidor is sold as a set of 30 cigars and a refill box of 50 cigars.

“Lord Byron gave the world poetry and I try to capture his passion with Byron’s line” – Nelson Alphonso
