   Warped Eagles Descent Toro. Late last year, Warped announced a new cigar. That would be the Warped Eagles Descent. The cigar is to be expected this year, but in November the Hawaiian R. Field Wine Co. received an exclusive size for this cigar. R. Field Wine Co is an important cigar retailer in the state of Hawaii and had more exclusive cigars in the past. The Tatuaje Fausto is based on an R. Field Wine Co exclusive made by Pete Johnson for example. Trent Firmin of Firmin Cigars in Australia and Marvin Chang from R. Field Wine Co are friends. And so Chang offered Firmin a few boxes to be distributed in Australia.

   The Warped Eagles Descent is made at the factory from Eduardo Fernandez. The factory is acclaimed and renowned. Fernandez is also known for his Aganorsa Leaf. The Tabacos Valle de Jalapa produces more cigars for Warped, but also for Illusione and many other highly rated brands. The brand new Gurkha Treinta also comes from TABSA, as the factory is called in short. For the Warped Eagles Descent, Warped owner and blender Kyle Gellis picked all Nicaraguan tobaccos. The exclusive size for R. Field Wine Co is 5⅝x52, that’s either a short Toro or a big Robusto.

   The review

   The cigar looks tasty. A dark chocolate colored wrapper, smooth and oily. It feels silky. And the ring is detailed, dark but detailed. Black, orange and white, with a beautiful eagle. It’s almost the logo of a stylish, rugged jeans brand. The construction feels good, no plugs can be detected while gently squeezing the cigar. The aroma is quite strong. Barnyard, stable and spices are what come to mind.

   The cold draw is good. The flavor in the cold draw is nothing by dry, spicy tobacco. Once lit, the cigar has a flavor of autumn leaves. Dried leaves with some soil and coffee bitterness. The flavors then turn to more spices. But the spices taste a little burnt, a little harsh. After a centimeter, the cigar gets more pepper and sweetness. But the spices are still around as well. The burnt sensation disappears, making the cigar more accessible. The soil, leafy flavor is getting stronger. And there is some leather and wood too. A nice nut flavor emerges. After a third, there’s coffee, soil, leather, dark wood, pepper, and some sweetness. Now and then a hint of vanilla can be tasted. The cigar becomes more pleasant with toast, vanilla, sweetness, and pepper. Almost like a peppery version of French toast. The next flavor change comes around the halfway point. Dry leather, wood, coffee, and pepper. With a dry mouthfeel. Slowly some salt comes into play as well.

   The draw is phenomenal. And the smoke is great too. Thick, white and plentiful. The light gray ash is like a stack of dimes. The burn is razor-sharp. This medium to medium full-bodied cigar packs plenty of flavors. But it takes a while before it becomes good. The smoke time is three hours and fifteen minutes.

   Strength: Medium to medium-full
   Flavor: Medium-full
