Warped Cigars has announced a line extension to their La Hacienda line, La Hacienda 'First Growth'. This new blend uses 100% AGANORSA tobacco from Esteli and Jalapa, specifically Corojo '99 & Criollo '98 varietals. This new version is said to be fuller in body and have more spice that the original.
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.
This year, we decided to give you a tour of the show through the pictures we took while we were there. Some are of new items, and some are just things we thought were interesting. These manufacturers were not sharing booth space, we just combined them into a single slideshow due to the number of pictures we had from each.
I really enjoyed this cigar from start to finish. It's hard to describe just how well all of the elements of this cigar worked together to provide such an enjoyable experience but every bit of this cigar just worked for me. I am normally not a fan of really strong cigars but this one just did it for me. I picked up a five pack of these just based on the Warped name alone and really wish I had bought the whole box. If you can get your hands on one I would say go for it.

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.
I really enjoyed the La Relatos, there was enough transitions to really hold and make me pay attention to the cigar. The draw was a little tight, and if i wasn't reviewing it I would have used a draw tool, which I feel would work wonders. Really nice construction, it gave me about an inch and a 1/2 of inch before I felt I had to tap it off. Only one rel-light that I can remember, and the cigar last me almost 2 hours.
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.
