Description
As of May 2025, Warped has introduced the Corto Maduro as the newest extension of its highly regarded Corto line, marking the brand's 10th anniversary. While the initial release is in the box-pressed X46 format (4.5 x 46), which is closest to a petite corona, there is currently no official release specifically labeled as a "petite corona" size. The X46, however, fits the profile for smokers seeking a short, concentrated experience in a small ring gauge.
Blend and Construction
-
Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés Maduro, providing a deep, earthy richness and natural sweetness.
-
Binder & Filler: Nicaraguan tobaccos, including a significant portion of medio tiempo leaf from Estelí. Medio tiempo is a rare, potent leaf that grows above the corona level, contributing extra strength and complexity.
-
Factory: Produced at NACSA in Estelí, Nicaragua (not Aganorsa Leaf, which makes the core Corto line).
-
Format: Box-pressed X46 (4.5 x 46), presented in 20-count boxes. More sizes are expected later in 2025.
Flavor Profile
-
Body: Full-bodied, notably stronger than the original Corto.
