Saunter, one of the first two cigars from Gellis Family Cigars, is now shipping.

Gellis Family Cigars is a new company from Kyle Gellis, founder of Warped Cigars. The first of those releases, Marevas, began shipping in the spring. Now, the sophomore release, Saunter, is heading to stores according to a report from Cigar Aficionado.

Saunter uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper over an Ecuadorian binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. It’s offered in a single 5 1/4 x 48 robusto size that has an MSRP of $15 and is sold in boxes of 12 cigars. TABACALERA LA iSLA in the Dominican Republic produces the cigar.

While Gellis Family Cigars is described as a separate entity from Warped, the cigars are distributed by Warped, which also has cigars made at LA iSLA.

An email sent to Gellis was not immediately returned.
