Hudson, NH — United Cigars announces that the Atabey Black 2026 Edition, created by Nelson Alfonso of Selected Tobacco, has officially begun shipping to a highly select group of premium cigar retailers across the United States. The 6 1/8 x 55 Atabey Black features a dark, Ecuadorian wrapper cradling an aged blend of Nicaraguan and Peruvian tobaccos with a Dominican binder. Currently available in a single vitola, this medium-bodied expression delivers layered elegance, a hallmark of the Atabey name.

Production is limited to 15,000 cigars aged post roll for a minimum of five years in multi cedar lined rooms with the addition of French Oak. Every cigar undergoes extended post-roll aging in cedar-lined rooms
incorporating multiple cedar varietals and French oak, imparting a complexity that can only be achieved through time. The Atabey Black 2026 Edition represents the continued evolution of one of the most exclusive cigars in the modern luxury cigar landscape. Each release is defined not by calendar year, but by readiness, shaped by time and Selected Tobacco’s uncompromising aging philosophy.

Presented in striking black lacquered boxes of 25 cigars, the Atabey Black 2026 Edition maintains its reputation as a connoisseur’s cigar, reserved for enthusiasts who understand rarity as a virtue, not a marketing term. Suggested retail for this collectible production will land at $60 per cigar. Distribution of the Atabey Black 2026 Edition will be limited to approved accounts only.
