Atabey Dioses 10-Year Extra Aged Exits The Vault for PCA 2023

What happens when the 5 year aged Atabey Dioses cigars are aged for twice as long? That was what Nelson Alfonso wanted to know, and he now has his answer. At this year’s PCA Trade Show in Las Vegas, United Cigars, distributors of Selected Tobacco products including Atabey, will make available the limited edition 10-Year, Extra Aged Atabey Dioses for the first time.

As the Goddess of the Taino Indians, Atabey is rich in history. It was the Taino Indians who first smoked a primitive form of what is known today as a cigar while praying to their Goddess Atabey. This spiritual ceremony was known as the Cohiba and the tribe communication to Atabey was communicated through their spiritual guide, the Behike. Today, the Atabey line is aged for five years in multi-cedar lined humidors, where humidity is reduced and raised to help the cigars breathe in the different cedar notes and cleanse itself in Nelson’s version of a spiritual ceremony.

“Like a Chef’s sauce reduction, the same has happened here,” says Oliver Nivaud, Director of Operations. “Cigars have a tendency to mellow with the additional aging, but the signature Atabey flavor notes have intensified on the Dioses while going through the Selected Tobacco aging process unique to the industry.”

For this first batch of 10-Year Extra Aged, consumers will pay the same MSRP as the traditional 5 year aged Atabey Dioses. Only 370 boxes of 25 cigars are available of the Atabey Dioses, and they will be presented in the same dress boxes as the traditional Atabey line with the addition of a 10-Year aged sticker on the inside of the box, and outer carton signifying the extra aging time.
