Cigar Reveal #268

Warped
Lirio Rojo Corona

With only 250 cabinets available, the Warped Lirio Rojo 2023 is among the most exclusive cigars you can acquire.

Each year in the month of December since 2015, Warped has released an annual cigar called 'Lirio Rojo' or Red Lily. This intriguing and elusive blend is often a highlight of Warped fans all over the world for its uniqueness and minimalist beauty. Coming in a wheel of 50 cigars with no bands, the wheel is held together by a wide red ribbon and wrapped in red paper. 

"The story of Lirio Rojo is that we wanted a holiday release.  We wanted to make it make sense though.  Kyle has always been enamored with traditional Cuban wheels that you can get in Cuba ( fresh rolls ) and styled this cigar after that old world aesthetic.  We call the cigar the cinnamon stick, which is why it made sense for us to have it be the Holiday release for us.  I find it to be nutty and sweet with a dry spice much like cinnamon on your pallet.  The strength is medium, and it has aged beautifully."

- Kyle Gellis, Warped founder

Reviews + Notes

Halfwheel

While the peanut butter and creamy oak notes remain dominant during the final third of the Lirio Rojo 2019, they have switched places in the profile, with the cedar easily taking the top spot. Other flavors of bitter espresso beans, hay, floral, cocoa nibs, granola and a touch of sourdough flit in and out as well, while the cherry sweetness and black pepper are still very obvious on the retrohale. The smoke production remains about average and the draw continues to be fantastic, while the burn is non-problematic, albeit far from razor-sharp. The one major change is the strength level, which seems to take off like a rocket just after the final third begins, eventually hitting a point just below the full mark by the time I put the nub down with a bit more than an inch remaining.
