Warped Isla del Cocodrilo
Warped Isla del Cocodrilo is a medium bodied cigar blended by Kyle Gellis and made at Tabacalera La Isla in Santiago, Dominican Republic. An Ecuadorian Habano Deflorada wrapper covers two binders, one Ecuadorian and one Brazilian, around Nicaraguan filler. The result is a distinctive choice for smokers who know Warped primarily through its Nicaraguan cigars.
- Explore a Warped blend made in the Dominican Republic with tobacco from Ecuador, Brazil, and Nicaragua.
- Experience an Ecuadorian Habano Deflorada wrapper, grown using a method that removes the plant’s flower.
- Discover the layered construction of an Ecuadorian Habano 2000 binder and a Brazilian Arapiraca binder.
- Look for dried fruit, cream, leather, oak, cedar, and spice in the blend’s described profile.
- Choose between Corona Gorda and Toro formats according to your preferred smoking time and ring gauge.
Isla del Cocodrilo takes its name from imagery associated with Cuba, an island often compared in shape to a crocodile. The cigar itself contains no Cuban tobacco. Gellis developed a blend that brings together three growing countries and placed its production with Tabacalera La Isla, a Dominican factory that has made several Warped releases.
The Ecuadorian Habano Deflorada wrapper gives Isla del Cocodrilo its unusual agricultural detail. Removing the flower while the tobacco plant grows directs more of the plant’s resources toward its leaves. Beneath the wrapper, the Ecuadorian Habano 2000 and Brazilian Arapiraca binders add another layer to the construction before the Nicaraguan filler enters the picture.
Warped describes a profile of dried fruit, cream, leather, oak, cedar, and mixed spice. Published tasting impressions have also mentioned fresh bread, honey, cardamom, and toasted cedar. Some smokers find butterscotch or caramel in the cigar, but those notes are subjective and should not be attributed solely to the wrapper’s growing method. Expect variation between individual cigars and sizes.

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.

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.
