First time smoking anything warped and it was a solid smoke. Not something I’d smoke regularly but would revisit on occasion. I’ve heard these age well so I’m curious to see how they are in 6 months to a year.

I enjoy Warped cigars but wouldn’t consider myself a fanboy of this brand.
This cigar has a mottled wrapper with thick prominent veins. Straight cut and the draw is excellent.
Initial flavor is generic tobacco. After a few puffs I’m greeted with a bright floral note and sweet finish that lasts between each puff. Body is medium. The retro enhances the floral sweetness and adds a quick bite of white pepper. There’s a cereal note entering which balances the sweetness nicely. Only complaints for this stick were the wavy burn line and flakey ash. Hard to call this box worthy given the massive quantity they come in, but definitely worth grabbing a fiver as these will age quite well.

This is a real full-bodied and full-flavored cigar. Can’t go wrong with Aganorsa tobaccos as there is a very complex mix of flavors going on with this one. Can only imagine that this gets better with age.

This cigar is a hitter! Grabbed a couple 5pks of these at a steal and lit one up after letting them acclimate for a few weeks. Tons of natural sweetness on these with baking spices and a hint of dark chocolate.

This cigar is packed with flavor and as expected, Warped cigars does it again. This cigar was great with a morning coffee with subtle, creamy flavors and beautiful pepper on the retro.

This is a great cigar using Aganorsa tobacco. I mainly baking spices roasted peanuts, and dried fruit. Overall aroma was earthy, but not over powering. Medium to full in body/strength. I’ll be getting more soon

5 Dec 2022: This vitola is full body plus that has a strong spice driven tasting notes right at the start of the cigar. It has a slight sweet and earth undertones throughout the cigar. It is too full body for my wheelhouse but the construction was great and no flaky ash to dirty your pants.
15 July 2023 Update: I purchased this cigar again based on Lucas suggestion and he was right. The Upper Realm is considerably better with age. This reaffirms Aganorsa tobacco ages very well. I was really surprised by the improvement. When I first smoked it, it started off when fresh cracked black pepper and spice and on this second time around, I got sweet tobacco taste. Massive improvement over 6 months. I updated the my star rating to 4. It should really be 4.5.

Very enjoyable stick. Cinnamon spice with hints of raisin, leather and roasted peanuts. I purchased 2 so I could age one for a year or so but the one I smoked upon delivery was already a fantastic smoke. Medium to full bodied. Would recommend if you are a fan of Warped cigars like the 1988.

If you’re a Warped fan, Upper Realm are straight up Aganorsa farms Nicaraguan puros. The blend of Corojo and Criollo tobaccos offer notes of roasted nuts, baking spices, and earthiness (think potting soil aromas), with a hint of sweetness like raisins. Medium bodied, full-flavor smoke.
