Byron Lounge Opens In Nashville Cigar Bar
Selected Tobacco has made a name for itself as one of the premium producers of handmade cigars out of Costa Rica. You may be familiar with some of its brands, such as Atabey, Bandolero and Byron. Now, the Costa Rican manufacturer is continuing its expansion into branded lounges with the help of its New Hampshire-based distribution partner United Cigars. A new Byron cigar lounge has been added to a freshly remodeled cigar bar known as The Ariston, located in the heart of downtown Nashville.
The Ariston opened October 1 after a few months of remodeling, taking the place of what used to be the Blend Bar with Davidoff Cigars, which closed earlier this year. The new spot is owned by Dave Pearse and his family, who also run Franklin Cigar in Franklin, Tennessee and Nashville Cigar just outside downtown Nashville.
"The Ariston is not just a lounge; it's a tribute to the city's rich cultural heritage, seamlessly blending the world of cigars with the soulful rhythm of Nashville," says Dave Pearse. The cigar bar is located just a few blocks up from Nashville’s popular Broadway Street and is right across the river from Nissan Stadium, home to the Tennessee Titans.
The Byron lounge, 2,400 square feet in size, has been added to the second floor of the Nashville cigar bar, and is open to the public now. In addition to the other cigar brands sold at The Ariston, the lounge will feature several lines from Selected Tobacco as well as brands from United Cigars such as La Gianna Havana, Firecracker and Red Anchor. The lounge will also receive access to limited releases from Selected Tobacco and United Cigars.
The new lounge joins a growing roster of branded lounges from Selected Tobacco and United Cigars. The other locations include the Atabey Lounge at Industrial Cigars in Frisco, Texas; Byron Cigar Lounge in Schaumburg, Illinois; Red Anchor Lounge in Nashua, New Hampshire and the Atabey Lounge at Ambassador Fine Cigars in Peoria, Arizona.
