As the Goddess of the Taino Indians, the name 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 tribal prayers to Atabey were communicated through their spiritual guide, the Behike.
Nelson Alfonso, Principal of Selected Tobacco shared, “This piece celebrates the collection of Atabey and has a very special place in my heart. The design represents the elegance and strength of the Goddess Atabey.”
250 Atabey Humidors have been produced, and the first humidor was on display at the Atabey Lounge in Frisco, Texas at Industrial Cigar. The Atabey Humidor Set includes 60 Atabey cigars inside the humidor, 300 additional cigars in 25 count display cartons and the luxury humidor.
