Another bloody head cold hit me overnight. I had planned on reviewing this morning but nooooo….So, I am re-posting a review of Warped Eagles Descent that was released in 2022 and not only was it a great stick, but it is still available through a few online stores.
And the best part is that it now has an extra year of aged box time.
Best of all, the price has remained the same…no one is jacking the price point.

Binder: Nicaraguan Criollo ‘98
Filler: Nicaraguan Corojo ’99, Nicaraguan Criollo ‘98
Size: 5.625 x 52 Toro Especial
Strength: Medium/Full
Price: $12.00
SMELL THE GLOVE:
Aromas are faint but distinct: floral, milk chocolate, caramel, malt, big nuts, cinnamon, black pepper, cedar, and barnyard. Pretty much your typical Nic puro nasal stains.
The cold draw presents notes of graham cracker, malt, pretzel, caramel, creaminess, espresso, milk chocolate, cedar, and barnyard.
THE WHOLE MEGILLAH:
It takes a minute or two, but the cigar blend begins to deliver. Very spicy black pepper that I hope restrains itself soon.
Sweet caramel is up next, followed by lots of creaminess, buttery Ritz Crackers, café au lait, hunka hunka burning malt, and a nice even keeled earthy tobacco flavor.
The strength starts at a very solid medium.
I don’t want to jinx it, but the char line is dead nuts perfect.
Nicely balanced, which totally surprises me. The cigar really hasn’t had what I consider proper time in my humidor to review. But as this is a limited edition, I didn’t want to wait till they are all gone. If I review a cigar, fawn over it, and you can’t buy them…I get hate mail.
I am so relieved that this cigar was properly rolled with plenty of innards, so it doesn’t become a 25-minute Toro. My last two reviews were barely filled, and they burned like a wood match.
The cigar sends me a psychic message that it is gearing up to show some real complexity. I use the Vulcan nerve pinch and the cigar is knocked unconscious. The cigar awakens and sends another message apologizing. I give it the nerve pinch once more.
With barely ¾” smoked, the blend moves into sophisticated mode. I can taste flavors spreading out across my tongue, my cheeks, and my ovaries.
The Eagles Descent starts hitting complex notes like a whack-a-mole. The black pepper recedes appropriately and allows for subtle nuances to send nervous signals to my hard as a walnut brain.
The graham cracker element shines like a cop’s flashlight after a traffic stop. I get stopped once a week because I flash my headlights constantly at oncoming traffic hoping gangbangers will turn around and chase me. I have a hidden Barrett .50 cal hidden underneath my car’s roof. I show the cop my CCW license, and I’m allowed to carry on. Love Wisconsin.
The cigar moves into the effervescent creamy status. The blend could use some of that milk chocolate I done smelled on the wrapper. But as to apologize once again, the cigar has a very nice savory v. sweet balance.
There are no booming flavors. Subtlety is the name of the game. Transitions begin to pick up the pace. I put on some KPOP music and lip sync. The finish is only noticeable after a sip of water.
Wow. I am so happy that I chose to review this cigar. After the last two dud reviews, I was having serial panic attacks moving into this review.
A well built snausage. The char line is impeccable…no different than when I wear my $72 ‘Under Armour’ briefs. I don’t wear them in public as they are so tight that my package makes me look like a Ken Doll. No one warns you that once you become elderly that there is significant shrinkage. I slap a piece of boloney in my nether region so the cat can find it when I need to pee.
There are so many new cigars in the over $16 range now. It is just amazing that this blend is at the user friendly $12.
Did you know that the average time spent on any reviewer’s site only lasts between 40-90 seconds? That is a fact. Which means that smokers scroll down immediately to the cigar’s rating and move on. Maybe I should start hiding the rating somewhere in the middle of my review. Confuse the shit out of everyone.
Nice slow burn. Most probably close to becoming a 90-minute experience. Lots of bang for your bucks.
Complexity intensifies. Transitions sway to the rhythm of voo doo music. The finish is light and entertaining.
There are no significant changes to the flavor profile. This is just fine with me. The cigar, as a whole, is magnificent.
Strength reaches medium/full with 2” burned. Nicotine lands in a deserted farmer’s field. Crop circles are forming in my brain.
I’m guessing what was missing in the 2019 version has been tweaked to perfection.
While there was no mention of extended aging, this is exactly how the cigar performs.
Taking the recommended two minutes between puffs is now obligatory in order to stay conscious.
Strength is quickly attaining full tilt.
I smoked one of these babies a month in and it was not ready, Freddie.
Despite the strength being at Chernobyl level, the blend remains smooth as edible panties.
I’m tripping so I play some Grateful Dead.
Once again, flavors remain the same, but intensified.
Complexity is through the roof.
I remember once that just before Curved Air was on stage ready to begin when a roadie ran over to me with a package in his hands. Big smile on his puss as he told me that he shat his pants and had to buy new underwear. I’m guessing he is now a member of the British Parliament.
Nicotine is either calming down or I am experiencing a brain aneurysm.
Warped Cigar Co is one of those many boutique brands that almost never disappoints.
While the rest of the country is either in flames or flooded, Wisconsin has had a mild winter and a mild summer. Go figure.
Gov’t Mule is playing. The band is a natural extension of The Allman Brothers Band.
Charlotte is still asleep, so I run in and have sex with her twice. And now I’m back in only 5 minutes.
The balance is nicely balanced. What? The strength mellows out some.
And the unique smoothness returns with a basket of blueberry muffins.
A big leap occurs at 2” to go. The excitable sweet spot is upon me.
As these cigars are still available, you just need to spend your wife’s weekly food allowance on snagging some.
Nicotine is the only way I get high anymore…that and the massive doses of Fentanyl I take every day. I buy it on the street, so I know it’s clean.
I’ve gone through two bottles of water. Each sip causes an explosion of flavors.
This is the most fun I’ve had since I figured out how to properly wear Depends.
My encounter with the Eagles Descent has been a very enjoyable 90 minutes.
This cigar can be purchased from my sponsors: Atlantic Cigar (Only by the box), Small Batch Cigar (10% off with promo code ‘katman), and Luxury Cigar Club (15% off with promo code ‘katman’).
