Warped Introduces Moon Garden Especial with Slight Blend Adjustments

Kyle Gellis of Warped Cigars has revealed the release of the Warped Moon Garden Especial. This new edition is similar to the original Moon Garden Lancero in terms of blend, but adjustments have been made to accommodate the different vitola sizes. Notably, the previous Moon Garden iteration from Warped was introduced five years earlier and gained a favorable reputation among boutique aficionados.

Gellis noted the inclusion of more medio tiempo in the blend, aiming to provide depth and a significant impact on the palate. Furthermore, higher priming fillers were employed. The cigar is made using entirely Nicaraguan tobacco sourced from AGANORSA. The only available vitola for this edition is a 5 5/8 x 52 Toro, which will be packaged in boxes of 20.
