We are excited to announce that the highly anticipated Upper Realm is now available for pre-order! This is a one-time 250-cabinet release of 200 cigars. Please review the information below for the story of Upper Realm.
The Story
Today Warped unveils a thrillingly rare new addition to the company’s portfolio of Exclusively Different cigars: Upper Realm. Crafted from pure, 100% Aganorsa tobacco and crafted in Esteli, Nicaragua, Upper Realm delivers a powerful, primal taste of Nicaragua in every 5 x 48 vitola. The inaugural release features just 250 cabinets of 200 cigars, with each cabinet and cigar hand packed and individually labeled at Warped’s headquarters in South Florida.
“I wanted to blend something different for Warped,” said Kyle Gellis, the company’s founder and head of innovation. “Everything about Upper Realm’s creation has been different – from tobacco sourcing and choice to packaging format. During the blending process, I remember thinking to myself, ‘We’re really reaching for a new and higher realm here,’ and the name Upper Realm was born.”
This exclusive medium-to-full-bodied vitola is spice driven, with a sweet core and earth undertones – a bold expression of Nicaraguan force. The filler features 50% Esteli Criollo ’98, 40% Jalapa Corojo ’99, and 10% Condega Corojo ’99 with an Esteli Corojo 2012 binder.
“This is the first time we are using so much Esteli and Criollo material, and it celebrates the essential raw power of Nicaragua and the Esteli region,” said Gellis. “The blend is deliberately transitional, and clearly showcases each individual region. Upper Realm compels insightful exploration of Nicaragua, and the rich complexity of its tobacco growing regions.”

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
