In the world of premium cigars, limited editions and exclusive blends always attract the most dedicated collectors. Warped Cigarsβ Kyle Gellis has taken inspiration from the world of luxury watches, particularly the concept of a “piece unique”βa one-of-a-kind creation aimed at serious collectors. Enter the Gellis Family Cigars Piece Unique, an exclusive, small-batch release that embodies this same concept in the cigar world.
A Unique Blend
While the Piece Unique isn’t just a single cigar, its blend is crafted only once, making it a truly rare and collectible item. Gellis describes his approach: βWeβre utilizing the same methodology, crafting the interior blend just one time.β This limited-edition cigar is medium-bodied and features an Ecuadoran Connecticut shade wrapper. Beneath it, the binder is Nicaraguan, and the fillers come from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.
Crafted with Precision
Piece Unique is made at Tabacalera La Isla in the Dominican Republic, where the cigars undergo meticulous care. According to Gellis, they were aged for a full year in Spanish cedar before being packed. Measuring 6 inches by 52 ring gauge, each cigar comes in a 15-count box, priced at $40 per cigar. With only 500 boxes being produced, this release is extremely limited, adding to its allure for collectors.
A Vision Two Years in the Making
The journey to create Piece Unique took over two years. “The process to complete Piece Unique has been a long one,” Gellis says. “From the start to the final ending, it was a two-year period to source these tobaccos and perfect the blend that defines the vision we had.”
Expected to ship in early November to both U.S. and international tobacconists, the Piece Unique stands out as a collector’s item not just for its quality, but for the care and exclusivity involved in its creation. For cigar enthusiasts and collectors alike, it represents more than just a smokeβitβs a statement of craftsmanship and luxury.
