{"product_id":"byron-elegantes-toro-extra","title":"Byron Elegantes Toro Extra","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eByron Elegantes Toro Extra\u003c\/strong\u003e is the 6 1\/8 x 55 toro extra of the Byron 21st Century line, released as a limited edition in a humidor of 25.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eByron is made by Selected Tobacco, the house of Nelson Alfonso, the Cuban artist credited with the Cohiba Behike branding, and the whole brand is rolled at Tabacos de Costa Rica in Santiago de Puriscal. Byron was founded in Havana in 1850, as the packaging reads, and named for the English poet Lord Byron, an avid cigar smoker; Cigar Aficionado traces it to Alfonso's own ancestors, and Byron says the family recovered the name in 1998. Byron says its cigars rest for years after rolling, against the roughly 60 days it calls typical. Cigar Coop describes the 19th, 20th and 21st Century lines as one for each century the brand was active, each paying homage to that century's Cuban cigars; this is the Serie Siglo XXI.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur distributor, Cigar Coop, halfwheel and Cigar Aficionado list an Ecuadorian wrapper over a Dominican binder; Byron's own site gives a Peruvian binder for the Elegantes, Honorables and Aristócratas. Our distributor lists Peruvian and Nicaraguan filler. The boxes are black piano lacquer, and the cigars wear a black Byron script band over a blue “RESERVA” band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Elegantes is one of three sizes in the Byron Century Humidors, the limited editions Selected Tobacco released in 2021, 2022 and 2023. In the 2021 to 2023 editions, the Elegantes humidor was black lacquer. The 2021 and 2022 humidors were lined with French white oak, the 2021 release with embossed hinges, a temperature gauge, a hygrometer and a push-button closure; Cigar Coop and The Cigar Authority describe the 2023 humidors as African Oak. Cigar Coop reported that the 6 1\/8 x 55 first came to the United States in 2016 as 200 humidified cabinets of 25; before that it was sold only in Byron's Century Selection Humitube pack. Cigar Coop scored it 92 in January 2018, rating it medium in strength and body, with natural tobacco, nougat, fruit, cedar and baker's spice. Byron rates it medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 1\/8 x 55 Toro Extra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWrapper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ecuadorian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dominican\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiller:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peruvian and Nicaraguan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tabacos de Costa Rica, Santiago de Puriscal, Costa Rica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 cigars in a limited-edition humidor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffered by the single, the five-pack or the humidor of 25.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eElegantes Toro Extra FAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Byron 21st Century taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e Byron has not published tasting notes.
