Byron is Selected Tobacco's tribute to 19th-century Cuban cigar elegance: limited, extensively aged cigars blended by Nelson Alfonso and produced at Tabacos de Costa Rica. Lines such as Poetry, Epicure, and related Edición programs chase classical vitolas, refined strength, and presentation that competes in the same ultra-premium conversation as sibling Atabey, with a slightly different aesthetic and naming language.
Like Atabey, Byron is not a volume Dominican or Estelí catalog brand. Aging time and small batch counts define the business model. The Costa Rican factory address is deliberate: Alfonso and Selected Tobacco used quality and scarcity to put Puriscal-region production on the global luxury map, beside (not behind) Nicaragua's boutique boom.
