An Unmatched Tradition of Automotive Excellence
The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the flagship event of Pebble Beach Automotive Week, has grown since its inception in 1950 into the world’s premier celebration of the automobile. Enthusiasts from across the globe gather each year at Carmel Bay to witness this unparalleled showcase of elegance, heritage, and innovation.
The event features the finest collector cars assembled on the iconic 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links, competing for the prestigious title of Best of Show—the ultimate recognition of elegance, technical excellence, and historical significance. Renowned experts meticulously judge these masterpieces, while passionate crowds cheer on their favorites.
In addition to celebrating the past, the Concours also serves as a platform for the unveiling of groundbreaking concept cars and highly anticipated new vehicle debuts, blending tradition with modern innovation.
This year, the 73rd Annual Concours d’Elegance honored the 125th Anniversary of the legendary Packard Speedster, a crowning achievement in American automotive history. PAYNE-MASON proudly contributed to this extraordinary event with an exclusive custom cigar line, crafted to commemorate the celebration of elegance, innovation, and timeless design.
PAYNE-MASON also collaborated with the Concours d’Elegance to create a unique custom cigar band, paying tribute to the event’s rich legacy and celebrating its meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship.
A Tribute to Timeless Elegance
Inspiration Behind the Custom Cigar Band
The limited-edition cigar band is inspired by Pebble Beach’s rich heritage and the iconic “Goddess of Speed” hood ornament, designed by John D. Wilson in 1938. This emblem, which marks the 125th Anniversary of the legendary Packard Speedster, represents the sophistication and dynamism of American luxury automobiles.
Handmade Excellence by Cuban Masters
Every PAYNE-MASON cigar is authentically handcrafted by Cuban master rollers, showcasing unmatched artistry and preserving time-honored traditions. The exclusive Pebble Beach Concours cigar line—featuring the Torpedo Golden, Torpedo Maduro, Siglo 6, and Torpedo Barber—is crafted using aged premium tobacco. Each cigar delivers a refined, smooth smoking experience, embodying the elegance, quality, and timelessness of the legendary vehicles celebrated at Pebble Beach.
