Kyle Gellis of Warped Cigars is certainly staying busy these days, as news of a new store exclusive for online retailer SmallBatchCigar.com has been confirmed by both parties.
A number of details are still being finalized, but what has been confirmed is that it’s the La Colmena blend in a 6 x 48 belicoso vitola, with 200 bundles of 10 cigars being produced. Andrew T. of SmallBatchCigar.com made the initial announcement on the Reddit r/cigars forum on Friday before sharing additional details and a mockup of the packaging with halfwheel.
The release is still three to four months away, in which time packaging, pricing and a name for the cigar will be finalized. Production is being handled by El Titan de Bronze in Miami.
The La Colmena Unico Especial scored a 91 on halfwheel in November and finished #10 on the halfwheel 25 of 2014. The blend uses an Ecuadorian DesFlorada wrapper, Ecuadorian binder and filler from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.
Warped recently announced a new line, La Hacienda, that will debut this spring, as well as a new size in its Flor del Valle line called Las Brumas that is scheduled for a February release.
SmallBatchCigar.com is the online store of Maxamar Cigars, located in Orange, Calif.
