Warped Isla del Cocodrilo Corona Gorda (5.62x46) **NEW SUMMER 2024 RELEASE** Kyle Gellis, founder and blender of Warped Cigar, pays sentimental homage to Cuba with the release of Isla del Cocodrilo; which is a nickname for Cuba translating to "Island of Crocodile". This cigar does not include any Cuban tobacco it is instead blended to perfection using tobaccos from three countries and rolled in the Dominican Republic at the Tabacalera La Isla factory. The Isla del Cocodrillo cigars are hand crafted with aged Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, a dual binder consisting of an Ecuadorian Habano & Brazilian Arapiraca and finished in a beautiful Ecuadorian Habano wrapper cropped in ‘desflorado’ method creating a stronger tobacco leaf. Isla del Cocodrillo is a flavor-bomb delivering medium to full bodied tasting notes of rich cocoa, sweet cedar, vanilla, pepper & spice. Box Worthy!  MSRP $13.00

Crowned Heads Le Patissier PCA 2023 Exclusive No.2 Torpedo (6.125x52) **Limited Release** are handcrafted at Nicaragua American Cigars S.A factory in Esteli, Nicaragua.  Le Patissier PCA Exclusive is a result of Crowned Heads cigars blending a Dark, Grade A Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with a Nicaraguan Jalapa binder and long-fillers from Nicaragua and Costa Rica. According to Crowned Heads co-founder Jon Huber, the use of the Connecticut Broadleaf wrappers on the Le Patissier PCA 2023 Exclusive offers a unique expression that differs from any of their previous Crowned Heads cigars that have used a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. Le Patissier PCA Exclusive No.2 are medium-full body cigars with tasting notes of leather, black pepper, milk chocolate, toasted oak, earth and hints of citrus.  MSRP $13.00
