Absolutos From Gellis Family Cigars Coming Next Month
Gellis Family Cigars, a subsidiary of Warped Cigars, is releasing Absolutos next month and it’s the first all-Nicaraguan cigar sold under the Gellis Family umbrella.
The Absolutos brand is made in Nicaragua at the NACSA factory and composed of tobacco from Nicaragua’s four major growing regions: Estelí, Ometepe, Condega and Jalapa. All of the tobaccos for Absolutos were grown out in open sunlight, including the wrapper, which is unusual as wrappers are typically grown under shade (the filtered light makes for more pristine leaves). Sun-grown tobacco tends to be darker, coarser and thicker.
Packaged in 14-count boxes, Absolutos will come in two sizes: Corona Gorda, measuring 5 1/2 inches by 48 ring gauge ($13), and a 6-by-52 Toro ($14).
Kyle Gellis, founder of Warped Cigars, launched Gellis Family last year as a way to diversify his portfolio by creating different cigar lines that do not bear the Warped name. Gellis Family debuted with the Piece Unique.
