One of the booths that has some of the most gorgeous packaging on display is Selected Tobacco S.A., manufacturer of the more recognizable brands Atabey and Byron.
I was able to get some information on their new releases, however a lot was still in the to-be-determined category.
Atabey Hechizos
The first new cigars is being released under the Atabey brand. There isn’t any production numbers or pricing being released for it, but they will be available at top Atabey retailers. Like the rest of the line, blend details are undisclosed. It will be sold in a 25-count box.
