Gellis Family Cigars is a brand from cigarmaker Kyle Gellis, owner of Warped Cigars, and is made at Tabacalera La Isla in the Dominican Republic. Each release in its Piece Unique series is a blend produced only once; the 2026 edition, the third, is limited to 500 boxes of 15 cigars. The Gellis Family Piece Unique 2026 is a medium-plus 6 x 52 Toro with an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper, a Mexican San Andrés binder and Nicaraguan and Dominican filler, aged a year in cedar before boxing. Typical notes are cream, cedar, earth, cocoa and spice, with leather, roasted coffee and natural sweetness developing later. It is the Gellis cigar to start with at Oxford Cigar Company. The brand also makes Essentials, a 4 1/2 x 32 petit corona that Cigar Aficionado (2026) reports is meant to be stronger than its size and light wrapper suggest.
