The Atabey Black Ritos by Nelson Alfonso of Selected Tobacco is now shipping to United Cigar Branded lounges and NFT Box holders. As the world’s first cigar NFT, the Atabey Black Ritos was originally released in 2021. Enthusiasts were able to purchase NFT boxes at a set price of $1,200 as Atabey Black Ritos NFTs were released with charitable intent and not as an auction item.
After five years of post-roll age in Selected Tobacco’s aging rooms, the 2024 release is now shipping exclusively to ten U.S. retailers.
The 6 ⅛ x 55 Atabey Black Ritos ($50) features a dark Ecuador wrapper with fillers of Dominican and Peruvian tobaccos aged in rooms lined with five different cedars and French Oak for the aging process.
The Atabey Black Ritos comes in black lacquered boxes of 25.
