Blend Bar Rebrands With Atabey — Luxury Cigar Vibes Just Hit Indianapolis Big Time
If you needed another reason to plan a cigar pilgrimage, Indianapolis just cranked the dial to full-send luxury mode. One of the Midwest’s most respected cigar destinations—Blend Bar—has officially rebranded part of its lounge as the Atabey Lounge, and as a cigar nerd who lives for this stuff… yeah, this is huge.
This isn’t just a name change. This is a statement.
Blend Bar teaming up with United Cigars and Selected Tobacco means Nelson Alfonso’s ultra-refined cigar artistry now has a dedicated home inside one of the most beautifully designed cigar lounges in the country. If you know, you know.

The Atabey Lounge at Blend Bar: What Makes It Special
Located just north of downtown Indianapolis, Blend Bar has always been a destination—dark woods, leather seating, moody lighting, and a vibe that screams slow down and light one up. Now with the Atabey Lounge, the experience leans even harder into elegance-meets-enthusiasm territory.
Here’s what cigar fans can expect:
- Dedicated Atabey Lounge branding
- A refined yet relaxed space designed specifically for premium cigar enjoyment
- Top-shelf spirits including rare whiskeys and curated wines
- A modern food menu featuring steak sliders, charcuterie, small plates, and desserts (yes, cigar-friendly pairings matter)
This is the kind of place where time disappears, your lighter gets heavy use, and “just one more cigar” turns into an entire evening.
Cigar Lineup: Absolute Heavy Hitters
This is where things get really exciting.
Selected Tobacco Portfolio Available:
- Atabey
- Byron
- Alfonso
- Nelson
- Bandolero
These cigars are legendary for a reason. Each blend is meticulously aged—often up to five years—in cedar-lined, climate-controlled rooms. The result? Precision, balance, and refinement that’s hard to match.
Flavor Profile (What Fans Love):
While each line has its own personality, fans of Selected Tobacco cigars rave about:
- Creamy, elegant smoke
- Subtle sweetness
- Delicate spice
- Incredibly clean finishes
- Zero harshness, even when smoked slow and contemplative
These are cigars you experience, not rush.
Plus… United Cigars’ Full Portfolio
Blend Bar will also carry a wide selection from United Cigars, including:
- Firecracker
- Red Anchor
- Gold Star
- La Gianna Havana
- United (their flagship brand)
- Limited releases from the legendary United Cigar Series Unidas
Basically? Whether you’re craving refined elegance or bold, celebratory smokes—you’re covered.
Why This Partnership Just Makes Sense
Blend Bar owner Corey Johnson nailed it when he said the goal has always been to deliver unforgettable experiences. Aligning with United Cigars and honoring the Atabey name elevates that mission even further.
This partnership blends:
- World-class cigars
- Hospitality-first lounge culture
- A shared passion for premium experiences
It’s not corporate. It’s personal. It’s enthusiast-driven. And it’s exactly what cigar culture needs more of.
Final Puff Thoughts
The Atabey Lounge at Blend Bar isn’t just a rebrand—it’s a signal that Indianapolis is firmly on the map for luxury cigar experiences. If you love cigars that reward patience, lounges that respect the ritual, and vibes that keep you coming back… this place just became must-visit status.
