Warped Shows Off 10th Anniversary Releases for Don Reynaldo, La Colmena

In 2014, Warped Cigars returned to the market with a new look, new focus and new brand. The brand had been around since 2008, but was better known for having a cult following on cigar forums than being available at your local store. In 2014, Warped relaunched in an even bigger way than before, most notably, with a much greater focus on national distribution.

It’s now been a decade since that relaunch, which also means it’s the 10th anniversary of the three lines it introduced in 2014: Don Reynaldo, El Oso and La Comena. In February, the company released El Oso’s 10th anniversary cigar: a 6 x 50 toro known as Grand Papa that uses a different blend than the standard El Oso line. At last month’s 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show, it showed off the other two 10th anniversary cigars.

The Don Reynaldo 10th Anniversary, pictured above, is also a 6 x 50 toro. It has an MSRP of $24 per cigar and is limited to just 750 boxes of 10 cigars. While Warped didn’t disclose blend details, the standard Don Reynaldo blend uses a mixture of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos. It is expected to ship in either late April or early May.

Don Reynaldo is named after Ronald Gellis, father of Warped’s founder, Kyle Gellis.

As for the La Colmena 10th Anniversary, it’s a 5 7/8 x 50 robusto extra. Again, no blend details were provided at PCA 2024, though the regular La Colmena blend uses an Ecuadorian wrapper and binder over Nicaraguan fillers.

It will have an MSRP of $26 per cigar and production is limited to 2,000 boxes of 10 cigars. The La Colmena 10th Anniversary isn’t expected to ship until September or October.

All three blends—Don Reynaldo, El Oso and La Comena—are made at El Titan de Bronze in Miami.
