For those of you who follow along with the Smokin Tabacco Show, you know that last night we had Jeff Borysiewicz, owner of Corona Cigar Co. in Orlando, Florida as a guest on our show. It was a fun talk, with Borysiewicz showcasing some of his favorite offerings of gifts for the holiday season. We got to know a little bit more about Jeff though and learned he is about to hit his golden anniversary with Corona Cigar. What better way to celebrate Gold than with Gold bands?
The answer is captured in two elegant offerings from Nelson Alfonso of Selected Tobacco and United Cigars. As pioneering retailers, Jeff & Tanya Borysiewicz have helped mold our beloved cigar industry. In recognition of these 25 years, Nelson created two Limited Edition humidors each featuring 25 unique cigars. The Atabey humidor will be accompanied by the Misticos which has more than 7 years of post-roll age from the 2013 vintage and has long been Jeff’s favorite vitola. The Byron humidor will feature the Byron Venecianos (Torpedo) with a rich, dark Ecuadorian wrapper that will be exclusive to Corona Cigar Co. Both cigars will feature a personalized 25th Anniversary Corona Cigar Co. band.
“We celebrate moments in our lives and this one is very special to the Corona family,” said Jeff. “We have admired all of Nelsons work in the industry and are honored to have him be a part of our 25th Anniversary.”
Oliver Nivaud of United Cigars stated, “Nelson’s packaging design influence has touched the industry on a global scale and these 25th Anniversary humidors for Corona Cigars are for the history books.”
Nelson Alfonso is the same industry pioneer behind some of the best packaging and design work of all time, including the Padron 50th Humidor and the legendary and highly sough after, Cohiba Behike line, as well as others from the Cuban cigar maker Habanos S.A. If you are a fan of any of his work, or just the average rare cigar collector, you wont want to let these slip by.
