Earlier this year, United Cigars announced what it says was the first NFT cigar, the Atabey Black. The NFT Cigars were offered as a part of a program to raise funds for the Cigar Rights of the World organization. Today, United Cigars announced that at the end of the year, it will be making a donation as a result of the Atabey Black NFT program.

The company offered the Atabey Black with both NFT single and NFT 25-count box offerings. With an initial offering of the Atabey Black at an asking price of $50/.24 ETH, the company sold out all 25 single NFT cigars. Meanwhile, the ten-count boxes were initially offered at $999 /.48 ETH. United Cigars says there are some ten-count boxes available.

United Cigars has said there is a possibility of the Atabey Black becoming a tangible tobacco/cigar offering in the future, but has been non-committal if this will actually happen.

“This was a concept met with skepticism but ultimately we wanted to raise awareness for Cigar Rights of the World and support the foundation. What started as a conversation over dinner may turn into something tangible, we may see more from Atabey Black,” commented Oliver Nivaud, Director of Operations for United Cigars.
