Atabey is one of three core brands from Nelson Alfonso and his Selected Tobacco company. While making a name for himself designing iconic cigars and accessories such as the Cohiba Behike BHK and Padrón's 50th anniversary humidor, Alfonso was busy crafting a cigar lineup of his own.
The line first debuted in 2012, with Atabey quickly becoming the most prominent of the three brands. As with Cohiba, the Atabey cigar takes its name from Taino Indian mythology, where Atabey represents the mother goddess, and is associated with giving life to the cultivation of tobacco and agriculture in general. The cigars take on a striking band design, with Alfonso's signature style exuding a super-premium look on par with Cuba's most luxurious releases in modern times.
And like his Cuban associates, Nelson Alfonso has kept tobacco specifics close to the vest with Atabey, only disclosing the country of origin (Costa Rica) and factory (Tabacos de Costa Rica). Outside of this, the Atabey cigar has been left to speak for itself, slowly climbing the ranks of elite cigar palates over the years, and today being known as a top choice for celebratory smoking occasions. While each size differs (more than you might expect) in profile, the line generally operates in the medium-bodied range, with highlight characteristics of clean cedar, almond butter, white pepper, and frothy cappuccino.
Country of Orgin : Costa Rica
Strength : Mild-Medium
Wrapper : Natural
*Please note that all SKUs have two product lines. The top line is the box/bundle count. The second line is less than a box/bundle count and will be shipped as loose cigars in a humidified bag.

*whispers* I'd pay a lot more for this cigar. The flawless construction, the harmony of complex flavors and they're so pronounced...I can't give enough love to this cigar. It's a very mild selection so it can be smoked any time, but I only do it when I can sit alone to fully enjoy the experience and allow this cigar to take over all my senses. There are a lot of pricey cigars out there, this is one of the very few that justify the price tag, in my opinion. If every cigar is a mini vacation, this one is an all expense paid year long trip to the location of my dreams. It's obvious they're created with a lot of love and dedication.

It's pricey and amazing. I don't think there is anything on the market quite like this cigar. It's aged properly, blended with complexity with flawless construction. It is my too three cigar hands down.

Wow! This is absolutely amazing. Yes, it’s mild, but full of creamy flavors. Perfect draw that’s a little snug, which I favor, and it stacked the most beautiful ash! Can’t wait to try one again.

Griselda Rodriguez - Atabey Brujos - 5 Pack (Verified buyer)
My Absolute Favorite smoke. 52x5" is a perfect size to enjoy for a good long hour. Well-constructed with a white ash and an even burn that wants you begging for more. Medium at most with hints of white chocolate and earthiness. A little pricey, but a must try!!

There are not many ultra premium cigars that are worth the $30+ hell even the $20+ price tag but this not only one but THE one. It’s the smoothest cigar you or anyone has ever smoked and is worth every single penny. The best cigar for weddings and special events

I think I'm in the minority on this one... I can see the refinement and craftsmanship of the Atabey but they are far too mild for me. For the price and style I would sooner reach for the Davidoff Grand Cru.
