Kyle Gellis and Warped Cigars will be bringing back La Colmena Unico Especial at IPCPR later this month. The original release was in 2014 and consisted of only 1,000 tins of 10 being made. Now in 2019 it will return with even fewer made, only 950 tins.
The relights kinda hurt this one for me. I think I had to touch up once and outright relight it four times which was weird because it would just go out the moment after I took a draw. The flavors were very unique and I can't recall the last time I had a cigar with this upfront level of cinnamon in the profile but my tongue feels like its been rubbed raw from the experience. It sounds a bit harsh but in actuality this is a fantastic cigar as far as the flavors and smoke output is concerned.
Warped has announced the second cigar in their Seleccion Domain series, Warped Seleccion Domain 4546. The first release was actually part of the company's DROP Cigar Club and was made at the El Titan de Bronze factory. Each release in the series will be from a different factory and will have a different colored band. Green for El Titan de Bronze, Red for Tabacalera La iSLA, and black for Aganorsa Leaf.
Eagles Descent was originally released as a retailer exclusive in 2019 for R Field Wine Company in Honolulu. Now, this blend is returning as a limited edition for all Warped retailers worldwide.
"Loved this cigar. The start was a super rich desert profile and transitioned into a bold earthy experience. It was a super engaging cigar that kept me trying to figure out the flavors the entire time. The construction was perfect and the smoke was rich and creamy. I would smoke this again and look forward to picking up a box." -Alan (Eulogy)
Warped Cigars has announced the 2016 installment in the annual limited edition Warped Corto line will be a 4 1/2 x 46 vitola known as the Warped Corto X46. The new X46 will make its debut at the 2016 IPCPR Trade Show this July.

Warped Cigars has announced their latest release: Sky Moon. This cigar started as a personal blend for brand owner Kyle Gellis and was only handed out to people at events from him personally, but will now be available in a single production limited run. The cigar comes in one size, a 5.5 x 42 corona with a unique 109 cap. Kyle wanted to craft something very unique for this cigar years ago so they had a small amount of custom molds made that would allow them to create this Corona 109 and give fans something they hadn't seen for the brand before.
"The cigar performed wonderfully. I love how all of the flavors worked well together. At times it was sweet and at others, it was dark and deep. Never once was it out of balance with itself and with a super long finish its flavors never really went away. If you are a fan of deep complex flavors this is the cigar for you. As for me, I will for sure be picking up some more to enjoy with a nice cup of black coffee or espresso. " -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)
"This was a very fun experience for me. I smoked it in the middle of the day on a very clean palate and was very pleasantly surprised. This is a very mild-mannered cigar, and with the profile of it, I find myself craving a nice Anejo tequila to pair with it the next time I smoke it. With the citrus and sweetness present in the cigar, I feel this would be an epic pairing. This has been a very unique smoking experience for me and I am really looking forward to finding out what it is so I can get more!" -Kevin A. (Kevin A.)
