Byron Cigars

Many cigar factories produced numerous brands with Anglo-American names to appeal to the UK and US markets, which both had tremendous demand for premium cigars at the time. With that trend in mind, around 1848 the cousins created a cigar brand named Lord Byron in honor of the world renowned English Poet. He was arguably the greatest author of romantic poetries at the time and more importantly was an avid cigar smoker.

A few years after the launch of the brand, the cousins outgrew their factory due to high demand from foreign importers. Therefore, they decided to expand their production to a larger factory located on O’Reilly Street in Havana City.

Unfortunately between the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, Ricardo, the grandson of one of the founders and a third generation owner and producer, was forced to sell the brand due to major financial hardship. 90 years later, his great grandson recovered the Byron brand in 1998.

Returning to the early days, the brand is produced in a small factory in Costa Rica and available in limited quantities. As a general rule, cigars usually sit in an aging room for an average of about 60 days. However Byron cigars are rested for a period of 3 years. 

They offer some of the best cigars in the world for the most discerning palates. Those who enjoy cuban cigars will be fond of Byron Cigars.
