Selected Tobacco and Nelson Alfonso have added another item to their line up for PCA. To commemorate the 175th Anniversary of the prestigious Byron line, a limited-edition collector’s humidor will be available for the Byron collection that the company says “that doesn’t just hold cigars; it holds history.”
Selected Tobacco has frequently been on our list of companies expected to have a strong show. This announcement put them back on the list again and if it wasn’t for the fact they did not exhibit last year, that would have made this five shows in a row now.
Created to honor the legacy of the Byron Century Blends, this opulent humidor is more than a showcase, it’s a celebration. Only 175 individually numbered units will be made, a testament to the Alfonso’s family tradition, innovation, and passion.
Byron 175 th Anniversary Humidor features:
- Two sleek side drawers designed to house exclusive Byron accessories
- A luxurious three-finger cigar case and matching ultramarine ashtray, both crafted to complement the humidor’s regal presence
- An elegantly appointed top shelf, revealed by lifting twin Byron knobs, holding 20 cigars with concealed humidification chambers beneath
- A secret lower chamber that unveils the remainder of the curated selection
- A gold-accented front panel that discreetly conceals a hygrometer, temperature gauge, and locking mechanism
- 175 th Anniversary Commemorative Foot Band
Each humidor includes an exclusive and carefully aged 60-cigar collection:
- 15 Byron 1850 No. 3 (6 x 52)
- 15 Byron 19th Century Grand Poemas (6 x 56)
- 15 Byron 20th Century Habaneros (6 x 54)
- 15 Byron 21st Century Elegantes (6 1/8 x 55)
Every cigar inside has undergone Selected Tobacco’s meticulous five-plus-year aging process, ensuring an unmatched flavor journey that evolves with every draw.
Nelson Alfonso, the visionary behind Selected Tobacco, shares “For me, Byron is not only a cigar. It is a story of my family, of my country, of the time. This humidor is to honor this story, one piece of my soul in each box. We age the cigars with patience, with love. This is not only to smoke, it is to feel.”
Set against the vibrant backdrop of PCA 2025 in New Orleans, this release is already stirring buzz as the must-see and must-secure item of the show, a collector’s dream and a connoisseur’s indulgence. With only 175 units available, this once-in-a-century humidor will pass like a dream and be remembered forever.
