SELECTED TOBACCO RELEASES COLLECTOR’S EDITION HUMIDOR BLEND

Hudson, NH – On October 18th, 2025, Selected Tobacco will unveil a singular release at Industrial Cigars in Frisco, TX, home of the world’s first branded Atabey Lounge. This exclusive release is a fusion of artistry and time, featuring 200 numbered travel humidors that each house ten extra-aged cigars unique to this edition.

The humidor itself is a statement piece. Finished in a piano lacquer of sun-washed white sand and tranquil ocean blue tones, it reflects the elegance of the Alfonso Añejo line while evoking the calm of a Caribbean horizon. Its hidden hinges, polished gold trim, and numbered plaques elevate it beyond function into the rafters of collectible art. Dividing the aged treasures, one chambered humidifier with a fixed hygrometer ensures proper storage.

Inside, discover a pairing of cigars that represent true luxury. Each cigar has undergone additional years of aging beyond the celebrated five-year post-roll process that defines Selected Tobacco, rendering these vitolas unique to this release:

5 Atabey Ritos (6 1/8 x 55)

5 Alfonso Añejo No. 3 (6 x 54)
Together, they form a 10-cigar collection, presented in a personalized humidor, available exclusively through Industrial Cigars, at an MSRP of $600.
The evening of the release will be marked by the presence of Selected Tobacco’s founder, Nelson Alfonso, alongside his son, Fabio Alfonso, who will personally present the collection to guests.
“This project is important to me because it transcends the cigar business,” said Dave Frakes, co-owner of Industrial Cigars. “It’s about our families coming together to celebrate two milestones: five years as the world’s first Atabey Private Lounge and the Alfonso family’s 175 years in tobacco. Our relationship with Nelson has always been bigger than cigars; we are family.”
For the fortunate few who secure one of the 200 numbered humidors, this collection is an invitation to experience the union of past and present, a piece of luxury to be smoked and displayed.

Starting in 1901, United Cigars now boasts a powerhouse portfolio, including Red Anchor, Firecracker, La Gianna Havana, Garofalo, Classic, and the highly anticipated Gold Star. As an exclusive distributor, United also brings to market Selected Tobacco’s luxury brands, such as Atabey, Byron, Bandolero, and Alfonso, alongside Tabacalera Magia Cubana from the Dominican Republic, featuring Jose Dominguez and Yaya. Additionally, United represents German-based Arnold Andre’s international lines, Montosa, and Terra Nova.
