SELECTED TOBACCO RELEASES COLLECTOR’S EDITION HUMIDOR BLEND

 


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, 200 numbered travel humidors, each housing ten extra-aged cigars that are 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 calling to mind 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 inside, one chambered humidifier with a fixed

hygrometer to ensure 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 with the 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.
