Atabey Spiritus 7" 1/2 x 40

The Atabey brand was officially introduced in 2010, founded by Nelson Alfonso, world famous for his projects such as the branding of Habanos cigars, the design of the 50th anniversary humidor for Padron and many others. He has the talent to make extremely good blends. Atabey cigars are admirable, the wrapper is an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade with perfect smoothness and a slight satin sheen, the construction is perfect, the flavor profile is complex, with a wide range of aromas of cedar, pepper, nuts, cocoa and light floral undertones. These cigars go through a rigorous aging process. For five years, they are left to “rest” in a room lined with five different types of cedar (Cuban, Spanish, Lebanese, Brazilian and Mexican) in a variable range of humidity, thus taking on the unique cedar aromas. They are produced in Costa Rica in very limited quantities and can only be purchased in a few stores around the world that are certified by the manufacturer. Atabey cigars are named after the mother goddess of the Taínos Indians, the indigenous people who occupy much of the Caribbean islands.
