Tasting Note

Corto from Warped Cigars first came to market in 2015 in a single size that measured only 4 1/2 inches long. Corto means “short” in Spanish and owner Kyle Gellis never intended this to be a large cigar, but consumers kept clamoring for a longer Corto and he finally gave in. Last year, he released Corto in the X52 size—just a little bit longer and a little bit thicker, but still on the shorter side. The blend remained the same, consisting of a Corojo ’99 wrapper and binder, and a filler combination of Criollo ’98 and Corojo ’99 tobacco all grown by Aganorsa Leaf in Nicaragua.
