Atabey Black Delirios

Atabey Black Delirios — a 5¾" × 55 double robusto from Nelson Alfonso and Selected Tobacco. Ecuadorian wrapper over Dominican binder with Dominican and Peruvian filler. Aged five years post-roll in rooms lined with Spanish cedar and French oak at Tabacos de Costa Rica.

When Nelson Alfonso creates a cigar, he creates an experience. The founder of Selected Tobacco and creative director behind some of the most iconic packaging in the industry — including Cohiba Behike and Padrón's 50th Anniversary humidor — brings that same obsessive attention to detail to every aspect of the Atabey Black line.

The Cigar

The Atabey Black Delirios is a 5¾" × 55 double robusto featuring a dark, oily Ecuadorian wrapper over a Dominican binder and a filler blend combining Dominican and Peruvian tobaccos. The blend delivers remarkable complexity — a testament to Alfonso's understanding of how different origins interact.

The Aging

What sets Atabey Black apart is the aging process. Each cigar spends five years post-roll in specially designed rooms at the Tabacos de Costa Rica factory, lined with Spanish cedar and French oak. This is the same meticulous process used for the Alfonso Extra Añejo, Alfonso Gran Selección, and Byron 1850 — cigars that command respect from collectors who understand what time and environment can do to tobacco.

The Presentation

The 10-count box isn't just packaging — it's a travel humidor. The exterior is wrapped in leather with gold trim. The interior includes a built-in temperature gauge and humidity control. Each box is individually numbered. This is a cigar designed to be collected, aged further, and savored on the occasions that warrant it.
