Warped Maestro del Tiempo 6102R 2020 Release
Posted on December 09 2020
Vitola: 6102R (5.25x48) | Smoking Time: 55 min | Body: Medium | MSRP: $12.50
Wrapper: Corojo 99 | Binder: Nicaraguan | Filler: Corojo '99 and Criollo '98
Maestro Del Tiempo translates to Master of Time. Warped's Kyle Gellis named this cigar intentionally — each release has taken him several years to create, searching for the perfect leaf, blenders, and rollers.
Visual Inspection: The Aganorsa Corojo 99 wrapper is gorgeous, smooth, with nice uniform caramel color. Seams nearly invisible, filled evenly with no hard or soft spots.
Cold Draw: Leathery base with overtones of fruit and sweetness — prune or raisin with slight spice.
First Third: Spice, wood, and a hint of prune. Smooth peppery retrohale. Clean burn with nice solid ash.
Second Third: The front runner for flavor across three smokes. Spice plays second fiddle to a wonderful palette of fruit, nuts, and cream.
Final Third: Similar to the second with a bit more spice. Burn still great, retrohale still smooth.
Final Thoughts: A winner in my book. Great midday smoke with a light meal or black tea. This release will never be reproduced — get some before they’re gone.

Frequently asked questions
What does "Maestro del Tiempo" mean?
It translates to "Master of Time" in Spanish — a fitting name for a Warped cigar, given founder Kyle Gellis’s background in watchmaking and his philosophical approach to the slow craft of blending premium cigars.
How does the 6102R compare to other Warped lines?
The 6102R is a medium-strength entry from Warped, making it more approachable than the fuller-bodied Corto or the bolder GR88. The reviewer considers it a great midday smoke — enjoyable but not demanding.
Is Corojo 99 a strong wrapper?
Corojo 99 is a Nicaraguan hybrid delivering spice, pepper, and earthiness with medium-to-full body. In the 6102R it stays at medium, making it accessible while still delivering characteristic Corojo pepper and complexity.
