21st Century Aristocratas Cigar (8 x 52)

The original Lord Byron brand was launched in 1848 by Jose and Eusebio Alfonso, a pair of cousins who opened a small factory in Santiago de Las Vegas, a municipality of Havana, Cuba. The brand's name pays tribute to the eponymous English poet and routine smoker, whose work has been hailed for centuries as some of Romantic literature's best. The brand's introduction was met with success, but, in the 1930s after the onset of the Great Depression, they were forced to close. In 1998, the great-great-great-grandson of one of the original founders, Nelson Alfonso, revived the brand as Byron Cigars, its current iteration. Part of the Century series, Lord Byron's core line of cigars, the 21st Century is a medium-bodied cigar that boasts a complex flavor profile and an elegant presentation. Blend-wise, the 21st Century features an Ecuadorian Shadegrown wrapper over an undisclosed binder and a filler combination of Dominican and undisclosed tobacco.
