Warped Brings Back Maestro del Tiempo: The Robusto Retired in 2020 Returns as a Limited Release

Aganorsa Guardian of the Farm Apollo Selección De Warped

Warped Cigars, the brand founded by Kyle Gellis, has brought back Maestro del Tiempo, a line that had been missing from shelves since 2020. The return is temporary and in small quantities: shipments to US retailers began on October 13.

A single size is available, the 6102R, a 5¼ x 48 robusto packed in the original 100-count cabinet. Production remains at Aganorsa Leaf’s factory in Nicaragua, and the company says the blend has not been changed: a Corojo ’99 wrapper, a Condega binder and a filler of Corojo ’99, Criollo ’98 and medio tiempo leaves, all Nicaraguan.

The run is 400 cabinets, at a suggested retail price of $15 per cigar, or $1,500 for a full cabinet. Gellis describes the strength as slightly above medium.

Maestro del Tiempo is not stocked in our shop, but you can discover other Warped cigars, also made by Aganorsa, available at Mister Tabaco.

Gellis Family Cigars launches Essentials, a petit corona sold in 50-count cabinets

Gellis Family Cigars, the personal brand of Warped Cigars founder Kyle Gellis, is preparing to ship a new compact format: Essentials, a 4½-inch petit corona with a 32 ring gauge. The cigar reaches retailers in 50-count slide-lid cabinets at around $6.99 per stick, or roughly $349.50 for the full cabinet.

The blend pairs an Ecuadoran-grown Connecticut wrapper with an Ecuadoran binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. Production takes place at Tabacalera La Isla in the Dominican Republic. Although the pale wrapper suggests a mild smoke, the maker cautions that the cigar was designed to deliver more strength than its size implies.

For those who want to carry their cigars around, Gellis separately offers a green leather travel case for six sticks at about $100. The first cabinets are expected to reach US shops in the coming weeks.

Fans of small formats can browse the cigar selection available at Mister Tabaco.
