Tracing its noble origins to 1848 Havana, the Byron Epique Poemas honors a rich heritage that began when cousins Jose and Eusebio Alfonso established their modest factory in Santiago de Las Vegas and named their creation after the celebrated English poet and devoted cigar aficionado, Lord Byron. This distinguished brand holds historical significance as possibly the first to feature a lithographed cigar band and labeled name, setting a precedent in cigar presentation that endures today. Though the Great Depression of the 1930s temporarily extinguished the Byron flame, the legacy remained dormant rather than extinct, awaiting revival by Nelson Alfonso, the original founders' great-great-great grandson, who reclaimed his family's storied brand in 1998—precisely 150 years after its inception—and restored this Ecuadorian-wrapped, medium-bodied Costa Rican treasure to its rightful place in cigar history.
