Guardian of the Farm
The core Nicaraguan puro line, with vitolas named for the farm dogs. Medium-to-full, clean Aganorsa flavor.
Guardian of the Farm is a collaboration between Warped Cigars and Aganorsa Leaf, built on prized Aganorsa-grown Nicaraguan tobacco and named for the guard dogs that patrol the farms. MDC distributes the line to venues that want boutique credibility with genuine substance behind it.
Guardian of the Farm gets two things right at once: a story guests remember (the vitolas honor the actual dogs that guard the tobacco farms) and tobacco serious smokers respect (Aganorsa-grown Nicaraguan leaf, some of the most sought-after in the country). That combination is why the brand punches far above its size in lounge sell-through.
MDC carries 11 active Guardian of the Farm SKUs. We slot it as a boutique anchor - the cigar your staff can hand to a knowledgeable guest with total confidence, backed by a story they'll retell at the table.
“Guardian of the Farm is in our standing rotation because the accounts we serve - from casinos to cigar bars - sell through it consistently. That's the only reason a brand stays on our line card.”
Not every SKU in the Guardian of the Farm catalog is in our standing rotation - we curate to what actually moves at retail. These are the core lines we keep in depth.
The core Nicaraguan puro line, with vitolas named for the farm dogs. Medium-to-full, clean Aganorsa flavor.
A bolder extension of the core blend for guests who want more intensity from the same house style.
The darker, richer expression of the family - an evening cigar with real depth.
This is a lounge and cigar-bar brand first: the medium-to-full Nicaraguan profile and the boutique pedigree reward a crowd that pays attention to what it smokes. Steakhouses and casino programs with a serious evening clientele do well with it too. It is less of a fit for grab-and-go retail counters - Guardian of the Farm sells best where someone can tell the story.
MDC's active Guardian of the Farm SKUs run roughly $117-$234 per box wholesale, and venues typically retail at 1.8x-2.5x wholesale. That lands the brand in the boutique mid-tier - premium enough to signal quality, accessible enough to turn.
The MDC approach to any brand is the same: start with a curated core rotation sized to your venue, prove sell-through, then layer in deeper SKU coverage as the account matures. For a typical hospitality account, a Guardian of the Farm program begins with 2–3 vitolas across 40–60 cigars of opening depth, paired with the other brands that complement your overall humidor structure.
Because Guardian of the Farm is one of the core workhorse brands in the category, it's almost always part of the MDC opening-proposal for any new account - the exact SKUs and depth vary by whether you're running a bar-led hospitality program, a dedicated cigar lounge, or a pro-shop display. Your rep builds the proposal fast once you apply, with real numbers keyed to your venue.
