Warped Isla del Cocodrilo is a flagship line from Warped Cigars, crafted by blender Kyle Gellis at Tabacalera La Isla in Santiago, Dominican Republic. Drawing inspiration from Cuba’s legendary Zapata Swamp, this Dominican cigar is a departure from Warped Cigars’ typical Nicaraguan puro profile — a dessert-like, medium-bodied experience built around an Ecuadorian Habano Desflorada wrapper.
The desflorada technique — removing top leaves during cultivation — creates the wrapper’s pronounced butterscotch and caramel character that Warped Isla del Cocodrilo fans return to repeatedly. Cedar, hay, and white pepper greet the first draw, soon giving way to cream, butter, and golden caramel. The retrohale carries cinnamon and baking spice, with the final third bringing toasted nuts and a hint of citrus.
Kyle Gellis’s most expressive Dominican release — a Warped Cigars smoke that surprises even loyal fans of the brand.
Blend: Ecuadorian Habano Desflorada wrapper | Nicaraguan binder | Nicaraguan filler
Body: Medium–Medium Plus | Factory: Tabacalera La Isla, Santiago, DR | Available: Toro (6 x 52) and Corona Gorda (5.5 x 46)

This cigar created a profile characterized by sweet cedar, earth, and baking spices. The blend had nuances of caramel and butterscotch, offering a sophisticated experience because I am usually interested in boutique tobacco profiles.

One of my favorite blends from Warped. Kyle always does a great job with his blends and this one, specificaly in the corona gorda size, knocks it out the park

The Warped Isla del Cocodrilo is one unique cigar for any warped fan to enjoy! The strength was a nice medium, not the best cigar but worth a try for anyone who likes warped

After visiting a local b&m and grabbing both sizes & watching literally countless reviews and not hearing one bad thing on these I decided to grab a box. They are definitely box worthy! I found there’s sweet, salty and
buttery undertones and notes throughout this cigar that keeps it interesting and enjoyable during the whole experience for me. Of course Oxfords ordering process was simple and easy and packing were outstanding as well when they arrived..

Man, what a great smoke. Both sizes are excellent. After smoking a few of each, the Cocodrilo has moved into my top spot. I haven’t been the biggest Warped fan so this was a nice surprise. After seeing the hype on some YouTube reviews, I had to give it a try, glad I did. I foresee a lot of Cocodrilo bands in my ashtray this year.

I had 3 of these(toro size) before buying a box and it’s the real deal. Notes of light cedar, hay, leather, and white pepper at the start. But once you get the cream, butter, and caramel like sweetness it’s fantastic! Warped and Kyle are making straight fire!

It probably helped that I was in Kauai when I smoked my first Isla del Cocodrilo, but I was blown away by the complexity of this blend. Cream, cedar, toasty, buttery, caramel, and nutty notes. It’s definitely in my top 5 list. I can’t recommend this stick enough.

The Cocodrilo fits my preferred/favorite flavor profiles. Construction and burn were near perfect – occasional and self-correcting burn line. Great pack. Pronounced tones of butterscotch and citrus sweetness with an undertone of nuttiness throughout the cigar. Retrohale fairly mild with hints of cinnamon and baking spice. Creamy to syrupy smoke texture with long, tasty finish. I just purchased my second box.

Big fan of this blend and I’m very happy they offered it in a corona gorda; we need to see more of those! Perfect smoking time for me and I thoroughly enjoyed the blend.

I bought a few of the Toros and a few of the coronas. I normally prefer smaller vitolas but I think the Toro Really shines with this blend. Good flavor and construction all the way through nice transitions through each third and a good final third which is normally not a high note on most cigars in my experience. Shipping was super fast and cigars came in great condition so all around great service from the company.

I grabbed a fiver in corona and wasn’t too impressed. Flavor profile consisted of spice, light cinnamon and cedar. I’ve heard the toro has a ton of sweetness which seems would suit my palate better.

It’s a solid cigar. The flavor profile to me was sort of a toasted sugar, woody, nutty cigar. Strength was down the middle, and the cigar developed intensity slowly throughout the smoke, as you’d expect. A good cigar morning or evening, as it’s not super robust. I’d actually give it 3.5 stars, but that wasn’t an option on this website.

This offering from Warped is shocking. Medium bodied, sweet, unrelentingly so. Butterscotch, creamy. It is a dessert. Highly recommend and yes the hype is real.
