I remember when Warped Cigars was going to have just one new release for all of 2016. And yet, there are three different releases for the trade show alone.
It’s a much different look for Warped this year. For the first time, the company is sharing space with Casa Fernández, the booth itself is much larger and a bit less crowded as Foundation and Illusione have found their own places and no longer share space with Casa Fernández.
Guardian of the Farm
The second of the Casa Fernández/Warped collaborations following Futuro. This is once again a Nicaraguan puro. Three sizes are being produced with the Apollo Selección de Warped limited. In case you are wondering, the logo comes from the American bulldogs that help guard the AGANORSA farms in Nicaragua.
