Byron 19th Century Epic Poems

Byron 19th Century Epique Poemas

The Byron 19th Century series is a tribute to the pinnacle of traditional 19th-century Cuban cigar crafting. The scarcity of this Epique Poemas stems from its almost insane aging standards: each cigar, once rolled, must rest for a full year in a curing room filled with top-grade cedar wood to ensure a perfect marriage of tobaccos from different origins. The proprietor, Nelson Alfonso, is extremely stringent in his selection of raw materials. This cigar features rare Peruvian and Nicaraguan filler, wrapped in an oily, dark Ecuadorian wrapper. As the series is released in very small quota allocations globally each year, and each box comes with an independent serial number and an art-like lacquered box, it has long transcended the realm of ordinary consumer goods, becoming a highly appreciated "smokable artwork" with significant appreciation potential for seasoned cigar enthusiasts.

First Third: Upon lighting, distinctive cedar notes burst forth, accompanied by the sweet sensation of fine leather and cream. The 54-ring gauge delivers a remarkably full smoke density, presenting a medium-to-full intensity, immediately showcasing the powerful presence of a "noble cigar."
Middle Third: Entering the middle third, the unique sweet-tart dried fruit and earthy aromas of Peruvian tobacco intertwine, along with subtle hints of white pepper and roasted coffee. The flavor layers build repeatedly on the palate, revealing an incredibly delicate and silky dynamic balance.
Final Third: Towards the end, the aromas shift to deep dark chocolate, toasted caramel, and warm oak. Even after almost two hours of tasting, the smoke maintains astonishing cleanliness and coolness, without any bitterness, leaving an incredibly long-lasting and sophisticated sweet aftertaste.

• Nelson Alfonso's Artistic Masterpiece: Supervised by the world's top packaging designer, it's not only top-tier in flavor but also an industry benchmark in visual presentation.
• Rare "Post-Aging" Process: A full year of cedar room aging imbues it with a smoothness and depth of woody aroma that surpasses ordinary aged cigars.
• CA 92-Point High Score: Firmly positioned among the top in the world's most influential blind tests, proving its dominant position among large gauge cigars.
• Cross-Border Premium Blend: A fusion of rare Nicaraguan and Peruvian tobaccos presents a unique flavor profile that is neither traditional Cuban nor simply conventional non-Cuban, but rather transcends them.
