A few weeks ago, Kyle Gellis of Warped Cigars tweeted out a picture of a new, darker-looking version of the company’s popular La Colmena, named ‘Black Honey.” Turns out, the cigars are actually old—rolled about a year ago—and are a modified version of the popular La Colmena blend. La Colmena 'Black Honey' #cigars #botl pic.twitter.com/IZWWrCaJII — Warped (@warpedcigars) January 9, 2015 “The blend is a tweaked Colmena with a bit more viso then the regular production, adding a good amount of balanced spice compared to No. 44 and No. 36,” said Gellis in an e-mail to halfwheel. “Body is on the higher side of medium.” While the internal blend was “tweaked,” the outside was “changed.” Instead of the golden Ecuadorian DeFlorada wrapper found on the 36, 44 and Unico Especial, the cigar uses the same Ecuadorian habano oscuro wrapper from the EL OSO. Only 60 bundles of 10 are being offered with the cigars shipping to 13 retailers today. Pricing is set at $15.50 per cigar.
