The name Nelson Alfonso, owner of the Selected Tobacco company, was known long before the release of the Byron cigar line. And if you didn’t know his name, you’ve most likely seen his design work featured by Romeo y Julieta, Cohiba, Padrón, Montecristo, and others. You can see his work on cigar bands, ashtrays, humidors, and more.

But Nelson isn’t the first of his bloodline involved in the cigar world. Those roots go back to the mid-19th century and two cousins. These cousins owned a humble cigar factory on the outskirts of Havana with 12 employees. During this time, there was great demand in the United States and the United Kingdom for premium cigars. As a marketing technique, brands would often use Anglo-American names for various brands. These cousins created the Lord Byron brand, named after the famous English poet. The sticks were a hit. So much so that the cousins outgrew their small factory, and the family enjoyed success for generations.

Ricardo Alfonzo, a grandson of one of the cousins, eventually ran the company and unfortunately ran into a series of financial hardships. As a result, he had no choice but to sell the Lord Byron brand. Around 90 years later, his great-grandson, Nelson Alfonso, brought the brand back to the family in the form of the Byron 21st Century cigars. He utilized similar artwork as the originals, which adds a sense of history and honor to the cigar.

At the heart of the Byron 21st Century cigar is a part Dominican, part undisclosed filler blend. The binder is Dominican, and the wrapper is Ecuadorian Connecticut. The result is bread, cedar, pepper, and tobacco notes.
