The second release of Warped Cigars’ Selección Domain series is off to stores.
It’s the Selección Domain 4546, a 4 1/2 x 48 Rothschild that uses a Dominican corojo wrapper over a Dominican Cotuí binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, though Warped says the majority of fillers are from the Dominican Republic. It is made at TABACALERA LA iSLA in the Dominican Republic.
The MSRP is set at $9 per cigar and it is sold in boxes of 25 cigars.
“I wanted to craft a blend from each factory that highlighted the factories’ backgrounds and strengths and its evident in each blend as they are vastly different from one another,” said Kyle Gellis, Warped’s founder, in an email to halfwheel.
He cited El Titan de Bronze as having Cuban heritage, AGANORSA’s Agricola Ganadera Norteña S.A. in Nicaragua as “showcasing the raw power of Nicaraguan tobacco,” and LA iSLA as having a “youthful spirit (willing) to take chances.” The first Selección Domain was released in Q1 2022 to DROP, Warped’s cigar club that sells exclusive releases. The AGANORSA blend has not been released yet, and Gellis declined to comment about whether it would be sold via DROP or to retail stores.
The three blends are identified by their band color: green for El Titan de Bronze, red for LA iSLA and black for the AGANORSA release.
