Solid offering from Warped. Flavor wise it’s smooth and creamy, paired great with my latte. It’s not a very complex stick so don’t expect many transitions. No construction issues and draw was great. At the Oxford price I’d smoke it again.

Medium bodied, well rolled, smooth and creamy. This is a very nice “go to” smoke because of its size and lack of complexity. What it lacks in complexity it makes up for with a wonderful and reliable flavour profile.

Unfortunately, I have to say that this is one of my least favorite from this family line. I myself also had some construction issues with the wrap of the leaf. I had some sort of weird line or stem burns that went through the cigar. I always have mixed feelings about the Warped line, and this is one of the family members that knocks points off overall for the brand. The flavor is pretty good, approachable. Vanilla, thatch, dried grass, walnut shell are some of the flavor profiles you come across when you’re smoking this. Then there is some kind of flat and flabby tones in the smoke. About halfway through, you feel like you have a really good wrap, but the filling is a slightly cheaper or lesser quakity filling. Maybe over/under matured? But there are much more affordable options and taste options in the Warped family. The cigar on its own is really not that pricey, and do not let my review dissuade you from trying it if you are a fan of the Warped line. But this is kind of like that bad cousin that doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the line.

Warped Serie Gran Reserve 1988, Wonky burn. The biggest disappointment was having to relight before each draw of the cigar. I could not enjoy the cigar. I have had this cigar in the past and really enjoyed it.

Incredible profile and complex flavors. Great transitions. Only thing that impacted the experience was the burn. Found I had an uneven burn and had to relight frequently. Even after resting the cigars for a month at 65rh.

Four stars, if only because compared to the exquisite La Colmena, this cigar just isn’t quite as complex. Construction is great, it has a vaguely ‘Cuban’ creaminess, but a fairly standard (if very well-balanced) palate of leather, nuts, and quality tobacco. It’s a very good cigar – it’s just not all that exciting, so to speak.

This is my least favorite release from Warped. Not saying it’s terrible, but mine had some construction issue and the flavor was bitter. I’ll have to revisit it at a later time. For now, neutral 3 star.

As with most things Warped I love this stick. Smooth and easy to smoke and a great price to match. Pairs great with coffee with fantastic draw. Construction and burn are quality, the flavor is delicious. I will be keeping these in stock.

I’m fairly new to cigar smoking. I ordered a 5-pack of these and am enjoying them a lot. The burn is slow and it pulls nicely. I enjoyed the taste of sweet leather, creaminess, spice, and nuts. I will be ordering more to have in my collection.
