In 1848 Jose and Eusebio Alfonso, cousins opened a small cigar factory in Santiago de Las Vegas, a province of Havana, Cuba, and created a cigar brand named Lord Byron in honor of this world-renowned English poet. He was arguably the greatest author of romantic poetry of the day and more importantly pertaining to the brand, an avid cigar smoker and enthusiast. Some researchers say “Lord Byron became the first cigar brand to adorn a lithographed cigar band and label with a name on it”. More than eighty years later, in the 1930s, The Great Depression hit and Lord Byron cigars were gone, but not forever. Now…150 years later the original owners’ great-great-great-grandson Nelson Alfonso recovered again the Byron brand name in 1998. Flavor notes consist of fruit sweetness, bread, cedar, and black pepper.

This is is definitely one of my favorites from the brand, bursting with with very deep notes of multiple aged woods after the first inch or so., definitely a recommend.

The first inch or so had me thinking I overpaid. Good but not 30 dollars good. By yhe time the nub was burning my lips I realized I was wrong. What a phenomenal cigar.

Perfectly even color on the wrapper leaf.
1/3 White pepper and faint cedar. As the cigar warmed up I was expecting an uptick in the flavor notes… nope. towards the end of the 1/3, it starts to get nutty.
2/3 A zesty orange note with chocolate hints.
3/3 Same notes from the 2/3… hmm. Not good.
This cigar has flawless construction. With this price point, they really need to kick into gear in the flavor department.
