The annual run of limited-edition Byron cigars are now on their way to retailers, with United Cigar shipping three variations of the brand: Byron 19th Century Grand Poemas, Byron 20th Century Habanero, and Byron 21st Century Elegantes.

The cigars are crafted out of Costa Rica, with this year’s release containing roughly five years’ age post roll.
