Gellis Family Cigars Essentials Cigar (4.5 x 32)

Warped was created in 2007 by founder Kyle Gellis with the mantra, "Be Exclusively Different." Gellis's interest in cigars began as a child, preparing cigars for his father. That passion grew at age 18 while attending the University of Central Florida, when he began making frequent trips to the historic neighborhood of Little Havana in Miami to learn more about cigar manufacturing and blending. Driven by the desire to create his own cigar, Gellis visited factory after factory in search of the right partner. He began with El Titan De Bronze as his original partner, which is the only factory left in Little Havana and where a few of the company's brands are still rolled. Today, they house 13 brands, each challenging modern industry conventions through unique vitolas and thoughtfully crafted blends that embody the Warped's founding mantra.

Part of the Gellis Family Cigars core line, Essentials is a Petit Corona made at Tabacalera La iSLA in the Dominican Republic. The blend utilizes an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper and binder with Nicaraguan filler tobaccos that pack a bit more power than you may normally expect. The result is a creamy smoke, with a touch of spice to go with it, alongside complexity and flavors that can pop out to you during its short smoke. Its compact size makes it a convenient option when you're looking for a satisfying smoke but don't have much time to spare.
