Atabey Breaks Ground Again: Unveiling the Atabey Black Ritos NFT Cigar with Exclusive Limited Release

In 2021, Atabey was the first cigar company to release an NFT cigar. The Black Ritos wasn’t backed by an actual cigar like the La Flor Dominicana NFT though. But in the summer of 2023 that will change.

The Atabey Black Ritos will have an Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper over undisclosed filler and binder. Except that the ligero part of the filler comes from Peru. The cigars are produced at Tabacos de Costa Rica in a 6 1/8×55 size. The production is limited to 200 boxes of 25, which will only be available at the three United Cigars branded lounges, and to owners of the NFT.

“Sometimes the tobacco I select has already selected its journey,” said Nelson Alfonso, founder of Selected Tobacco S.A., in a press release. “This Ecuador maduro wrapper went on to the Atabey Black Ritos more than five years ago, now my journey ends, and someone’s experience will begin.”
