LUXURY CIGARS ~ ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE LOUNGE

The name Atabey has ties to the Taino Indians and the cigar culture. It all began with Cohiba which referred to the circle the tribe would gather in to pray. 

They would offer their prayers to the leader known as Behike who in turn would deliver those prayers to the Goddess Atabey.

 Atabey Cigars comes to us from Nelson Alfonso and is made in Costa Rica where the blend is only known by a select few. 

It's an incredibly smooth cigar with a flavor profile that is as perfect as they come. 

So much so that The Cigar Authority has awarded multiple sizes of the line a prestigious 100 rating.

One of the best cigars in the house. From the mind of Nelson Alfonso, Byron Cigars has been delivering some of the most consistent, flavorful, and popular cigars of the modern ear. Mimicking different eras of cigar history the Byron line has something for everyone.

All Byron cigars are aged for three to five years after rolling which imparts the highest level of consistency, quality, and flavor. 

This process is extremely expensive, and the reason why Byron offers an almost unopposed quality cigar.

Nelson Alfonso and the Alfonso family has been in the tobacco industry for several generation. Nelson is also well known for his creation and development of most of the Habanos humidors, ashtrays, and art work.

The finest Nicaraguan cigar. Period. Plasencia 1865 Alma Fuerte is such a rich, and delicious cigar that you won't want to put it down. 

Featuring a unique blend of Nicaraguan fillers with an oily Nicaraguan wrapper. A super-easy draw and a slow burner, this is one of the most impressive cigars  as far as craftsmanship and great flavor. 

The Plasencia family is one of the largest producers of premium cigars in Nicaragua and has a well respected reputation as one of the best tobacco growers for over 100 years. 

Made with selected tobacco that they've been aging for years for this project, Plasencia Alma Fuerte is a medium to full bodied blend of 100% Nicaraguan tobaccos from Jalapa, Condega, Esteli and Ometepe. 

The Sixto II is a Toro size that is box pressed into a unique hexagon shape . 

A great choice for the cigar lover who wants one of the very best cigars, available. Mild enough for the new cigar smoker, and flavorful enough for the most experienced palates.

CA  #9 Cigar Of The Year 2017 

For those of you who don't know, Steve Saka used to be a master blender over at Drew Estate and helped produce some top-notch blends under that brand. 

Today, he blends with Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust and since the company’s induction into the industry in 2015, they have already put out some highly-rated blends that are grabbing enthusiast’s attention all over.

 The Muestra de Saka line of cigars is an interesting one. Mustra de Saka Translates to "Saka's Sample". This is a line of cigars that are limited release blends that are all different and meant to reflect the blending mechanisms of Saka himself. 

The Nacatamale is the second release in the line and it’s produced at the Joya de Nicaragua factory in Nicaragua. When Saka started working on this blend, he challenged himself to use the old style 'farm blending' where all the filler tobaccos come from the same farm. Today most cigar blends are comprised of tobaccos from many different countries and farms to create complex and satisfying tastes. 

All the fillers in Nacatamale come from a farm in Jalapa Nicaragua with a Nicaraguan binder and Ecuadorian Habano wrapper on top. The result is a complex medium to full bodied cigar with a notes of deep earthiness, pepper, caramel, and a rich, tobacco sweetness. 

The Exclusivo is a true homage to the nation of Nicaragua. The blend employs an Ecuador Habano wrapper over tobacco from each one of its four main growing regions: Condega, Esteli, Ometepe, and Jalapa, and the profile is as complex and dynamic as they come. 

The medium to full-bodied flavor profile is bursting with notes of citrus, nuts, toast, pepper, and earth, layering the palate in a rich, smooth spice that lasts long into the finish. 

A Connecticut for a new age.

Steve Saka has been known to avoid clichés. For instance, when he finally caved to the pressure of making a lancero vitola, he named it #NLMTHA, for “Now Leave Me the Hell Alone.” 

He does things his way, so creating a mellow Connecticut-shade cigar proved to be a daunting task. Most aficionados who reach for a Sobremesa aren’t as interested in the same-old Connecticuts with their bitter, grassy profiles, so he looked to the past.

Saka sampled several mainstay Connecticut cigars to come up with the blend for the Sobremesa Brulee, a cigar that’s at the same time classic and contemporary. 

A luxurious Connecticut shade wrapper grown under natural cloud cover in Ecuador sits atop a Mexican Matacapan Negro de Temporal binder, with a carefully selected Nicaraguan filler blend. 

The flavors are all classic Connecticut, with extra complexity and refinement that can only come from the high-quality ingredients hand-selected by Saka himself. 

Connoisseurs and casual hobbyists alike take note: the mellow nutty flavors hearken back to the glory days of Connecticut, and will be right at home in any humidor.
