{"title":"Warped","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Warped Cigars\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarped is the cigar company of Kyle Gellis, who grew up cutting and lighting his father's cigars and launched the brand while he was still in college. His first blends were rolled at El Titan de Bronze, the small family factory in Miami's Little Havana, and in 2014 he relaunched Warped there with three lines that are still part of the catalog: Don Reynaldo, El Oso and La Colmena. The company works under the motto \"be exclusively different,\" and its cigars lean toward Cuban-style blending: balanced, flavor-first smokes rather than brute strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarped has since grown well beyond Miami. Much of the line is now made in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, and the Serie Gran Reserva 1988, named for the year Gellis was born, placed No. 3 on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarped Cigars at TRP\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIsla del Cocodrilo Blanco Perfecto\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsla del Cocodrilo, crocodile island, is an old nickname for Cuba, whose outline looks like a crocodile. The original line arrived in 2024 with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper; Blanco, released in March 2026, keeps the same Brazilian Arapiraca and Ecuadorian Habano 2000 binders and Nicaraguan filler but finishes them in a pale Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper. It is Warped's first perfecto, a double-tapered 6 1\/2 x 55, rolled at Tabacalera La Isla in Santiago, Dominican Republic, and limited to 1,500 white boxes of 15. We list it as medium in strength, with cream, cashew, honey and toast giving way to coffee, leather and black pepper. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/trpcigars.com\/products\/warped-isla-del-cocodrilo-blanco-perfecto-6-5-x-55\"\u003eShop the Isla del Cocodrilo Blanco Perfecto\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLa Colmena 10th Anniversary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Colmena means the beehive, and the line has been rolled at El Titan de Bronze since the 2014 relaunch. For the brand's tenth year, Warped released the La Colmena 10th Anniversary, also called the Amado No. 50: a 5 7\/8 x 50 robusto extra with a different, stronger interior blend than the regular La Colmena, built around higher-priming tobaccos. It closed out Warped's 10th Anniversary Series in September 2024, following the El Oso and Don Reynaldo editions. Its flavor notes are cedar, toasted bread, leather, pepper, citrus and baking spice. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/trpcigars.com\/products\/warped-la-colmena-10th-anniversary-robusto-extra-5-88-x-50\"\u003eShop the La Colmena 10th Anniversary\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Warped Cigar Is Right for You?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor a long, creamy smoke:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Isla del Cocodrilo Blanco runs close to two hours, with a light Connecticut wrapper that still carries plenty of depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor something made in Little Havana:\u003c\/strong\u003e the La Colmena 10th Anniversary comes from the same Miami factory where Warped began.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor collectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e both are limited releases, made once in a fixed number of boxes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuying and Storing Warped Cigars\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Warped cigar we carry comes as a single, a 5-pack or a full box, so you can try one before committing to a box.

Blanco is the lighter take on the Isla del Cocodrilo line: the same Nicaraguan filler and two-country binder as the original, finished in a pale Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper instead of the original's Habano leaf.

Under it sit two binders, a Brazilian Arapiraca leaf and an Ecuadorian Habano 2000 leaf, wrapped around fillers from Nicaragua.

Its flavor notes are cream, cashew, honey, toast, coffee, leather and black pepper. It opens nutty and buttery with a little honey and bread, moves into cream and coffee with pepper and leather in the middle, and turns toastier and earthier toward the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBehind the Name\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsla del Cocodrilo, Spanish for crocodile island, is an old nickname for Cuba, whose outline looks like a crocodile; the box art shows one stretched across the island.

Blanco followed in March 2026 as a limited edition of 1,500 boxes of 15, or 22,500 cigars, packed in a white box with gold lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuying and Storing It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlanco suits smokers who like Connecticut cigars but want more going on than a typical mild shade wrapper, and anyone collecting Warped's limited releases. Coffee pairings: Latte, Café au lait, Cappuccino, Breakfast blend, Vanilla cold brew. Spirit pairings: Champagne, Irish whiskey, Wheated bourbon, Amontillado sherry, Light rum.
