At a glance
Nomad Extracts is a Denver cannabis concentrate brand known for cured resin, live resin and an unusually detailed competition record. Its public history is best understood through products and awards: the brand’s own archive documents placements from 2018 through 2024, while public licensing records connect the operation to KEBAR LLC and the broader Concentrate Brands group.
Denver identity and operating context
The official site identifies Nomad Extracts with Denver, Colorado. An Adams County licensing record names KEBAR LLC as doing business as Baker Extracts & Nomad Extracts and identifies applicant Kevin Noah Haberman. Separately, an industry biography describes chemist Stephen Cobb as co-owner and chief technology officer of Concentrate Brands, whose portfolio includes Nomad Extracts.
Those records establish operating context, but the reviewed evidence does not provide a clean, consistent founder narrative or an uncontested founding year. Rather than invent one, the earliest dated company milestone used here is its 2018 award record.
Cured resin and live resin
Nomad’s official product page describes both cured-resin and live-resin concentrates in multiple consistencies. The distinction begins with source material: cured resin uses dried and cured cannabis, while live resin starts with material preserved closer to harvest. Texture names such as wax, shatter, sauce, sugar and full-spectrum extract describe finished forms, not separate quality grades by themselves.
The brand’s competition archive also shows flash-frozen entries, crystallizations and isolations. A shopper should use the exact package description and ingredient panel rather than collapsing every Nomad product into “distillate” or “live resin.”
Vapes and refined cannabis oil
The company markets vape products with the statement “Always potent. Never cut.” It also lists refined cannabis oil in borosilicate glass dispensers. That language is the brand’s own product positioning; it is not a substitute for reviewing state-required testing and ingredients on a particular batch.
Nomad’s direct online shop sells merchandise and battery hardware, not THC concentrates. Cannabis products are distributed through licensed retailers, and the brand’s news archive has documented dispensary relationships including a 2021 rollout to The Green Solution locations.
Collaboration is part of the model
Awards repeatedly name cultivation or retail partners alongside Nomad, including DEN REC, Bloom and Options Dispensary. That pattern reflects a concentrate maker working with source material from other operators. It also means an award for one collaboration should not be generalized to every product under the brand.
For buyers, the cultivator or input partner can be as meaningful as texture. Compare the batch, source flower, extraction type and test date—not only the Nomad logo.
The 2018 breakthrough
Nomad’s published 2018 Rooster THC Classic results include first place for Mystery Bordello in the CBD category, third for Durban Poison wax, first and second for White Widow and OGKB Stardawg sauces, and first place plus overall Grand Champion for Banana Kush. The same year, Dreamsicle earned first in flavored vape at the Rooster 710 Showdown.
The Sacred Seed Terp Trials IV archive also records Fat Albert as Grand Champion. These are product- and event-specific results, not a blanket claim that every current item won a cup.
2019 competition results
At the 2019 THC Classic, Nomad lists first for a 1:1 distillate dispenser, third for DEN REC Mac Dough wax and second for Mandarin Cookies shatter. At the 2019 710 Showdown, Options Item 9 took second in shatter and Dreamsicle took third in distillate.
A Bloom collaboration, Mimosa full-spectrum extract, also earned first at the 2019 Dude Grows competition. Together, the results show the brand moving among multiple inputs and concentrate forms rather than relying on one flagship SKU.
2020 awards across formats
The company records both the People’s Choice and Connoisseur’s Choice first-place shatter awards for Jack Flash at the 2020 Hemp Connoisseur Championship, plus second place for Platinum Hell’s Motorbreath in the premium category.
Its 2020 THC Classic ledger adds first for Cap Hill Kush shatter, second for Bio Chem wax and third for Platinum Bubble Jack in a flash-frozen category. Exact category names matter because wax, shatter and preserved-material preparations are judged separately.
Results from 2021 through 2024
Nomad lists first place for Golden Goat Platinum full-spectrum extract and third for Jolly Roger shatter at the 2021 THC Classic. Banana Punch Sugar earned first in wax in 2023, and Le’ Moon Cake earned first in wax in 2024.
This chronology provides better evidence of staying power than the vague phrase “award winning.” It demonstrates recognized entries across seven years, while leaving current retail availability to the retailer and package.
How to buy and verify. Use a licensed Colorado dispensary and inspect the full label for producer, source material, extraction type, cannabinoid concentration, ingredients, residual-solvent testing, batch number and package date. A current certificate or state verification matters more than a historical medal when judging a specific unit.
Nomad’s credible public profile is a Denver concentrate specialist with cured- and live-resin formats, partner-driven releases and a deep, itemized competition ledger. Founder claims and any expansion beyond the licensed market should remain unasserted until primary records support them.
