Atabey Cigars
Named for Atabey, the supreme goddess of the Taino people, the Atabey cigar line draws on Caribbean mythology and the cigar's own deep cultural history. Nelson Alfonso, founder of Selected Tobacco and master blender behind Atabey, brings that sense of ritual into the unique production process.
Each cigar ages for five years post-roll in rooms lined with five types of cedar. Controlled humidity cycles allow the tobacco to absorb the character of its surroundings. This gives Atabey its signature character of refined tobacco, creamy cedar and subtle spice. Even before the first cut, these luxury cigars are recognizable by their striking black, gold and white packaging.

A Look Inside the Atabey Cigar Collection
The Atabey name covers a tightly curated range of vitolas, with each size offering its own way into the brand's signature aged profile. Alongside the core collection, Atabey Black takes the same patient approach into darker territory.
Atabey
A deliberate echo of the reverence the Taino held for tobacco itself, the core line is known for its elegant presentation and medium-bodied profile. It wraps an Ecuadorian Shade leaf around a closely guarded Dominican binder and a filler built around Peruvian ligero, delivering a smoke that's remarkably smooth for its complexity.
The Atabey cigar selection spans distinctive vitolas. Options like the Ritos, Benditos, Delirios, Misticos and Dioses give smokers different formats in which to experience the blend. The flavor profile starts creamy and woody, with sweet cedar, toasted nuts and vanilla forming the foundation, followed by a whisper of white pepper carrying through the finish. This slow-aged, contemplative cigar is suited to someone who wants to sit with a glass of aged rum or scotch and let the smoke unfold.
Atabey Black
Atabey Black takes a darker approach to the house style. This limited-production line of cigars is aged for five years in rooms lined with Spanish cedar and French oak, giving it a similarly patient, refined character while setting it apart from the core Atabey collection. The binder and much of the filler recipe remain undisclosed — in keeping with the brand's tradition of secrecy — though Peruvian Ligero is confirmed as part of the blend.
The result is a medium-bodied cigar, richer and more concentrated than the core collection, that opens with notes of cedar, coffee and black pepper before shifting into distinct nutty notes and earthy undertones. The Atabey Black is the cigar to seek out when you want a touch more spice and depth while maintaining that same refined, slow-aged character.
