Amazing blend!
December 01, 2019
Product: Warped The Haunting 2oz
First and foremost, I’m a novice when it comes to cigars. This blend is just amazing! The moisture content is a little on the dry side, but in my opinion, that’s ok. I tried this blend in a Heisenberg Author. It was perfect for this blend. At first i... Read More
t has a spicy note and about 1/4 in, it changes more to sweet due to the VA. Towards about the 1/2 to 3/4 mark it is really mellow. It burns to a nice white ash and doesn’t have a strong aftertaste. I give this blend 5-Stars. I wish it was in production all year round. I was able to snag 3 tins of this when it was released. Production date says 9/28/19. I opened it on 11/18/19. It’s a great blend and if you can get your hands on one, try it out! Read Less
Fabulous!

Product: Warped The Haunting 2oz
I could smell the Virginia upon opening it. Removing it from the tin I was able to notice the Criollo. It’s a little on the dry side out of the tin, but not overly dry.
On the initial lighting the Criollo comes through with strong leather, spice, and... Read More
charred wood, with sweetness of the Virginia on the aftertaste. As the bowl progresses the flavors begin to balance, and the flavor becomes full and rich. The strength is just past the middle mark.
This should age well, mellowing and marrying these tobaccos, and I would expect that this would take on rich sweet and somewhat floral character.
A fabulous blend. Read Less
Masterfully Blended...a revelation!
May 21, 2020
Product: Warped The Haunting 2oz
As I crack the tin I immediately smell the sweet Virginia's. They are plum/raisin'y with the grassiness sitting just under the leather of the Criollo leaf.
Came perfectly moist. Packs with ease. Lights well and smokes so well.

ty. It's a perfect autumn weather tobacco. It is warm and rich. It has a fair amount of balanced sweetness. I can tell there's a lot of criollo; more cigar leaf than say in Habana Daydream. It works really well with the Virginias keeping the intensity in check. I can taste baking spice flavors: clove, nutmeg and a dash of cinnamon. The room aroma matches the profile and makes it very pleasant to sniff at as I smoke it. It gives me a feeling of the holidays and being at my grandmother's house as a kid as she baked pumpkin pies and ginger cookies. It is super smooth. It's a full smoke but isn't overly heavy. It does have the cigar like nic-hit but its manageable. I like this blend a lot. I think Kyle and Jeremy did a spectacular job. Delicious!
One Year Update 10/20/2020:
The tin (now jar) note has developed to show much more of the cigar leaf. There is more of a floralness and a tiny bit of citrus coming through that I didn't notice last October. The initial lights were delicious: light, subtly sweet and baking spicy; not unlike the last bowl I had last year. As with most blends I initially try fresh and revisit again later, the flavors are more unified. Whereas I tasted so much of the Criollo before, I get more Virginia now. I'm realizing how brilliant a choice this particular cigar leaf and Virginia combination are. They compliment each other very well especially with a year or age. The holiday baking spices are there still but it's more of an aftertaste. It's amazing! Mid bowl it gets deeper and more rich. I taste dark chocolate and cinnamon. The N hit is just right. I'm amazed at how well it stays lit and how beautiful and full the smoke is. I loved this blend last year and this year I'm doubly impressed. I'm looking forward to this jar of 2019 next year. Can't wait to chime in again then. Read Less
Pepper, leather, with smooth finish

Product: Warped The Haunting 2oz
I am not a cigar smoker. Tin note smelled like leather and bagass to me. Pulled out enough for a bowl and let it sit for an hour before packing. Easy pack. This blend starts off spicy/peppery and made the back of my throat tingle. I assume that ... Read More
is from the nicotine. That was until about halfway down. Then I was getting less pepper and more of a leathery profile. The last portion of the bowl was a deep, dark sweetness accompanying the leather profile. Not an all day smoke, but enjoyable and one I will return to. Read Less

A True Cigar Blend
October 11, 2019
Product: Warped The Haunting 2oz
I'm a person that doesn't like to waste tobacco. So when I'm smoking a really tasty cigar, I'm accustomed to smoking the last short butt of that cigar stuck in a appropriately sized pipe bowl (usually a cob) to finish the stogie without burning my f... Read More
ingers. This wonderful blend tastes exactly like that, but better! I truly tastes like a delicious cigar, as advertised! The Virginia is present, but the Criolo leaf is what's driving the ship. This may be the first true Cigar pipe tobacco. If you love cigars as well as pipes like I do, you will LOVE this blend. As an all day smoke or as a nice change of pace. It seems to have a fairly high nicotine content so it may be best smoked by an experienced smoker. Tons of smoke. Burns easy right out of the tin with the perfect level of humidification. This isn't a pipe tobacco that has a slight component of cigar leaf. It's like a cigar that's been chopped up and blended with just the right amount of VA to make it smoke able in your pipe. Bravo to the team at C&D for this delicious offering for us cigar loving pipe smokers!! Read Less

NOPE. Look I love cigars, I have a cellar of about 200 of fantastic quality, including Warped. But I have no interest of putting a cigar into my pipe. All I could taste was very very strong cigar leaf. The other components didn’t mellow anything out ... Read More
or round out the flavor. I bought 3 tins. Putting everything into the cellar for about 5 years and hope it all mellows out, because this was so unpleasant I immediately scrubbed my pipe with everclear to try and prevent any ghosting. Read Less

I may not be able to describe it, but I know what I like. I regret only getting 2 tons. I hope this was not a one time deal. Fantastic.
Not Disappointed!

Being one that goes back and forth with cigars and pipes, I'm always searching for a nice cigar leaf blend and The Haunting fills that desire. The pre-light aroma is nothing spectacular but it is alluring. As is the pre-light draw, which immediatel... Read More
y yielded the Criollo flavors. No need for a "drying" period as it comes ready to pack and ignite. After-light draw, the natural sweetness is present with the recognizable flavor of the Virginia's. I classify it as a medium-bodied tobacco, with a nice medium to full flavor. No bite, decent temperature and rests well on the palate. Halfway through the bowl, it does pick up, but not overwhelmingly. The room note is quite pleasant, and there's no lingering aftertaste. I'm happy I purchased a couple of tins and I've added my name to the "in-stock" alert so I can pick up more. I also think a bit of age will make it even better. Nice job with this collaboration, and for cigar lovers wanting an intro to pipes, this is recommended highly. Read Less

iation for the uncharted.
First thing when breaking the seal of the tin was a friendly and understated virginia note and while taking in that meeting a new sweet spectre sashade by and said hello.
It lite well and held ember very nicely. Mildly yet strangely robust like a Connecticut wrapper greated me and quickly faded into a sweet sort of chocolate fruit almost like the sense your palate receives from a chocolate orange when opening a Christmas stocking treat. The finish was slight tingle which is a wonderful treat as I enjoy a cigar and this sensation from a pipe was stronger than normal but very satisfying.
The room note was warm and inviting like your grandfathers study as he gazed across a leather bound book next to a warm fire in autumn. The sort of nostalgic scent that wraps you into a embrace you never wish to leave.
Well done to the blenders and if you have the chance pick up a tin. You wont regret it. Read Less

Wow. I was surprised by the instant peppery spice. Leather. I’ll smoke what I’ve got but I doubt I’ll get more.

This is far and away my favorite cigar blend. Ready to smoke right out of the tin, and a huge cigar profile, but it’s so well balanced with the high quality Virginia’s. I look forward to seeing how it does with some age on it, but the only problem I ... Read More
have with this is being able to put enough cans into the cellar, without smoking them. Great in the morning with coffee. I wish this would become a regular production, so I didn’t feel the need to horde tins. You absolutely shouldn’t buy this, so I can buy all the rest of it. Read Less

I love pipe tobaccos and I love cigars and this is an amazing blend of the two. I like the sweetness of the Virginias and the cigar leaf adds a depth and richness to the blend. Grab it when you can. It is well worth a try.

I was expecting to be floored by the full strength rating, but I wasn’t. It is very strong flavor, but it didn’t seem to be high in the nicotine category.

Go ahead and try it. You just might become haunted. Not as haunted I was that I didn’t cellar more tins of Esoterica, or buying any more tins of C&D’s Sun Bear, or from not pouncing on certain pipes when I had the chance. But you might feel haunted t... Read More
hat you didn’t buy more of tins of this blend to smoke, and to get a head start on aging. Because once again, tobacco titan Kyle Gellis scores another direct hit with his undisputed blending prowess. The tin note emitted a very mild cigar aroma, but when I fired this up and started to generate some plumes, for a second I wondered if this was the incense of the cigar gods. That criollo cigar leaf does the heavy lifting, providing spice and body. The Virginias make more of their sweet presence known as you burn more into the bowl. They are there to play a smaller but key role, helping deliver a flavor and room note that at times reminded me of incense from an abbey’s church I’d attend while growing up. It’s not hard to make this cigar lover come back for more. This is yes, like enjoying a fine cigar, but to me, even better. I’ll be ordering some more to allow for some aging—especially for the Virginias inside. And some tins for imminent enjoyment. 5.0 stars all right! Read Less

As this blend ages it gets better. I enjoyed it fresh from the tin dark and cigar-like. Now from the jar after a few months there is a red wine note that is wonderful. I am glad I have an extra tin to open next Halloween.
It’s very nice
