Warped Cigars

Warped Cigars

With a slogan like “Be Exclusively Different,” Warped Cigars is a cigar company for the modern world. They started with the old-fashioned Cuban design that honors the legacy and history of the industry. In fact, the cigars are still produced in the legendary Little Havana area of Miami. One of the few cigar factories left in the region, most Warped offerings are created in the El Titan de Bronze right on Calle Ocho. The company also has a Nicaraguan factory managed by Casa Fernandez. Every single cigar is hand-rolled and checked for quality before being released.

Founded in 2009, Warped Cigars is focused on bringing a novel approach to the Cuban. Most of their offerings are 36 ring gauges, where other companies have been moving to bigger sticks with more potent smoke. Warped staff is also active on social media, where they love feedback on their cigars. Instead of offering the same flavors for the last century, it is their goal to provide unique smoking experiences using proven techniques to assure quality.

The Founder Kyle Gellis

As early as 6 years old, young Kyle was already beginning a lifetime love of cigars. While he didn't personally smoke until he was 16, as a young boy he would help his father select and light cigars. It was also at this age that he first began to realize the importance of getting live feedback from smokers in order to better understand their preferences.

While attending the University of Central Florida, Kyle began making regular trips to Little Havana in order to study the production of cigars. When he was ready to begin, he visited a number of factories until he found the perfect partner in El Titan de Bronze. Today, Kyle takes pride in connecting with cigar lovers and crafting the perfect smoking experiences.
