Alfonso Gran Selección

The Alfonso Gran Selección is described as a darker version of the Alfonso Extra Añejo. Given that the Extra Añejo was #1 on halfwheel’s Top 25 of 2022, the bar has been set very high.

Like the Alfonso Extra Añejo and Byron 1850, this line was aged for a total of five years in rooms that were lined with either Spanish cedar of French oak. The Gran Selección is described as a darker follow-up to the Extra Añejo, which was halfwheel’s #1 cigar of 2022.

The company showed off three new releases at this year’s PCA Convention, including a follow-up to the company’s Extra Añejo line that was released last year.

Selected Tobacco S.A. is calling this a follow-up to the Alfonso Añejo, but with a “darker flavor profile.”
