Warped Isla Del Cocodrilo Blanco Perfecto 6"1/2 * 55

If you look at the island of Cuba on a map and use your imagination, it resembles a crocodile. In fact, Cuba is sometimes referred to as the “Isla del Cocodrilo” (Crocodile Island or Island of the Crocodile). This unique name for the island of cigars was the inspiration behind the Warped Isla del Cocodrilo cigar. The cigar’s all Nicaraguan filler is covered by a dual binder made of Brazilian and Ecuadorian Habano leaves and finally covered by an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. This enticing three-nation blend delivers a medium to full-bodied smoking indulgence that will satisfy aficionados looking for a strong smoke with a rich complexity.

The Perfecto shape has two tapered, closed ends with a rounded head, a closed foot, and a bulge in the middle. They can vary in length and ring gauge.

Most cigars are round in shape, as this is how the cigars are rolled by the torcedor.

This cigar is 6"1/2 inches long, or 165.1 mm.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 55, so his diameter is 55/64 inches or 21.84 mm.

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Natural wrapper, also known as Colorado Claro, is light brown in color.

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.

Tabacalera La Isla is owned and operated by Hostos Fernandez Quesada. Hostos has been in the cigar industry for twenty years and is the nephew of Manuel “Manolo” Quesada of the famed Quesada Cigars. Located in Santiago, Dominican Republic, Tabacalera La Isla was established in 2020.

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
Brazil grows tobacco from North to South. The East Central State of Bahia is an important cigar tobacco producer. The growing area is about 100 miles west of the state capital, Salvador da Bahia, an active port on the Atlantic Coast. The Northern State of Alagoas hosts a production around the city of Arapiraca where maduro wrappers are grown. The Southern states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina produce tobacco for cigarettes and pipe.

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
