Warped Announces Isla del Cocodrilo as PCA 2024 Release
Warped Cigars has announced Isla del Cocodrilo, a new project that it is releasing at the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show later this week.
The blend reportedly uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper, a dual binder of Ecuadorian habano 2000 and Brazilian Arapiraca, and a Nicaraguan filler. It is reportedly being offered in two sizes:
- Isla del Cocodrilo Corona Gorda (5 5/8 x 46) — $14 (Box of 15, $210)
- Isla del Cocodrilo Toro (6 x 52) — $15 (Box of 15, $225)
The line is reportedly being produced at TABACALERA LA iSLA in Santiago, Dominican Republic and won’t be shipping until this summer. The line gets its name from a term used to reference the shape of Cuba.
Warped made the announcement via Cigar Aficionado, and has yet to confirm the accuracy of that report.
Update (April 4, 2024) — Warped showed off the Isla del Cocodrilo at PCA 2024. Added more info and pictures. Of note, the cigars were originally announced with MSRPs of $13 and $14, it is now $14 and $15.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
