Anyone know Batey cigars ?

[Bruce T.]

I was out of town and I bought this cigar. It is a "Batey" and it was cheap. I did an internet search and could't find the company that makes them. I did find a bunch of different information about them. One post said they were machine made in Mexico. I don't think this was machine made due to it's shape. Another post said it was made in Nicaragua with various tobaccos, including Mexican. The band says Dominicano which leads me to believe it was made in the DR. The reviews are quite favorable but I haven't tried it yet.
Anyone know anything about theses?

So, I just checked on my post and I've had 21 views and no replies. I guess Batey cigars are not too well known. Still looking for someone who can tell me about them.

"Hi, Fellas! My name is Abel G. Ortego. I am the creator of the brand Batey, which is for sale in Canada. If anyone has a question, please do not hesitate to email me at: abel.ortego@casacubana.ca"
Shoot him an email and ask

Thanks for the info. I checked the website. They seem to be a distributor based in Montreal. They probably import the cigars and have them branded with their name, but why they would choose such a crappy name I don't know. I'll email them and I'll post anything that I fine out.

Here is the reply from the distributor for those who may be interested.

Thank you very much for your inquiry. Indeed I am the creator of the Batey brand of cigars, distributed nationally by Spike Marks/Casa Cubana.
The Batey brand has three major lines:

Batey Nicaragua (Red and gold bands) featuring twelve sizes, long filler and medium to strong taste. It combines tobacco leaves from 3 Central American countries and
it is made by D’Hatuey Tabacos S.A. in Esteli, Nicaragua.

Batey Dominicano (Blue and Gold bands); A combinations of leaves from 2 zones in the Dominican Republic and incorporating the newly production of Piloto Cubano,
a variety grown for the first time out of Cuba. It is also long filler and made by Tabacalera La Palma, the makers of Aging Room and other prestigious brands.

In this particular case, you purchased a Perfecto, a rare shape designed to give the smoker and smooth and yet tasty flavor and well as showing the craftsmanship of the Dominican rollers.
The line have four shapes (Perfecto, Toro, Belicoso and Robusto)

Batey Maduro Natural (Green and Gold Band) Made in Nicaragua and featuring a wrapper naturally processed (No fire cooking) to achieve a Maduro colour.
It comes in two sizes not easily made by others: Invicto and Flying Pigs.
