Selected Tobacco is known for its cigars, they have released humidors with cigars in the past, but now they released three ashtrays to honour the history of Byron cigars.

Nelson Alfonso, the mastermind behind Atabey, Byron and Bandolero, designed the ashtrays himself in three different colours that are carefully selected to reflect the unique characteristics and flavours of cigars from different centuries.

We are thrilled to introduce these porcelain ashtrays by Nelson Alfonso,” said Oliver Nivaud, director of operations for United Cigars, in a press release. “These ashtrays embody the spirit of luxury and craftsmanship that Byron Cigars are known for. They are a true testament to Nelson Alfonso’s talent and dedication to his craft.
In the past, Alfonso designed things for Habanos such as tubos, jars and ashtrays. He was also involved in the creation of the Behike and several grand reserva cigars.

According to the press release, all three ashtrays carry the same retail price of $250 and are now available for sale in stores.
