Hipster Warped Cigars Contest

Hello Everybody it's your favorite r/cigars member /u/mrsmallbatch u/Dancetar. I hope you are all having a swell day, I know I have, because I just smoked a WARPED FUTURO! That's right, you are reading a Warped Cigars Contest Reviewβ„’.

You may be wondering why I used the word swell, well, it is because they used swell back in the good ole' days, and guess who tries to recreate the old days! Hipsters, that's right, hipsters. Just like our overlord u/warpedcigars, I mean seriously, he is hipster through and through, and I love it. So dedicate this hipster review to the one and only hipster overlord, Kyle. And who better to do it, than someone rocking the same (similar) hair style, long on top, shaved down the side with a beard. I mean, we are practically twins. Proof: Kyle - Me. Manbuns. All you need to know.

First of all, lets look at the cigar. It is a truly beautiful stick. It has such a fantastic sheen on it and wonderful construction (which I will get to later). Here you can see it with all of my travel sticks that I brought up from LA for Christmas and January. Pretty much what I am doing is flaunting my HUGE cigar collection... But seriously, this is a fantastic looking stick. I have had it before and love it (probably one of my favorite Warped Cigars).

Pairing: Seeing as I am already at my 1800 calorie limit for the day, I got to pick something with no calories. I mean, lets be real. I need to fit into my skinny jeans. So I decide to pick up this single origin water from a local water distillery, you may have heard of them... They are called trader joes. I would never ever do a photo like this that is so obviously hipster and cliche.... But seriously, this is such a hipster drink. It is even the drink of choice to cleanse the palate for coffee tasting. So I thought, why not for cigars?

Beginning of the cigar: Fantastic smoke output. I'm getting some great flavors out of this. Pretty creamy and nutty. I really dig it. And let's be real, it wouldn't be an r/cigars post without a crappy crotch photo and a caption of "dat ash"... I'm looking at you u/photo_rob with all of your DSLR plebeian crap... I'm using straight up Iphone Technology with a free app to edit it... get on my hipster level.

Continuing on: This cigar gets a nice leather and very tiny hint of pepper with it. I really dig this profile. Super tasty. The burn is perfect, seriously such a well made cigar. Good draw too. And guess what time it is? It's time to take a similar photo as another r/cigars member. [[Here is my interpretation of a u/lurker_to_poster photo.](http://imgur.com/e0SiXQn)](http://imgur.com/prg7FJR). I didn't quite get the arms out. But I feel like I nailed the glare up at the camera. It's not a perfect comparison, but I feel like I got the lurker2poster vibe.

Finishing up: This cigar went a little south on me. I was smoking in 96% humidity so I definitely didn't do anything to help the cigar with those conditions. It got a little harsh but actually brought out some nice leather and pepper notes. The creamy and nutty notes were gone, but it was still a good cigar. It started to tunnel on me, but that isn't because of the bad construction, rather the bad weather conditions.

Final thoughts? If Calhoun liked it, I loved it. And yes, he is named after John C. Calhoun, all hipsters name their cats after historical figures, duh. So on the hipster scale, I give it a rolled up jeans, long socks, and sperry's/10... I mean seriously, how are Kyle and I not twins?. All in all, I loved the stick. The pairing did pretty well and I would seriously buy a box of these if I didn't have to pay for a wedding in 135 days.

For my timestamp I really didn't have anything to write on, so I took this video of me signing January 19th in ASL.

Album for those who want to do that kind of shit, sorry it is out of order.

This was possibly the funniest review ever. Laughing my ass off at breakfast, luckily everyone already knows I'm crazy so they're not judging.

I give this review a french press, kodiak, and Mac computer/20 (gawd, the ancient Mayans used base 20, not this new age bullshit base 10 crap).

And also I will be purchasing these. To be fair I barely remember what flavors you said 'cause the review was so funny but I do remember something about it turning you into a u/Lurker_to_Poster and u/WarpedCigars hybrid.

Me? I'm no hipster, LOL!

This is why I haven't entered a contest in forever and am now no longer optimistic about my entry in this one. Well done Drew.

That's how a lot of us feel after reading this post.

I'm not even optimistic. Hipsters are never optimistic. Except when opening their totally original start up that definitely won't fail in six months.

Good thing he's not an black actor. He wouldn't even get nominated.

solid review bro. Makes me want some stumptown cold brew and a flannel shirt.

2
dancetarOP[The Giant Parking Lot (LA]β€’

Stump town is too big. You need to find a true pico roaster. They literally roast each bean individually. It takes around 18 hours to roast enough for a single shot of espresso.

zombini[English Countryside]β€’

Pfft. The only way to roast coffee beans is to use just the power of the sun and a magnifying glass. You get that warm natural taste in every cup (Each cup takes only 12 days to prepare too, then for best results is ground between a rock and your own inflated sense of self worth)

And this is why coffee in Seattle is getting so God damn expensive.

3
dancetarOP[The Giant Parking Lot (LA]β€’

Seattle isn't even the biggest city for coffee any more, it's full of medium roast plebeians. Los Angeles is the true light roast master race.

photo_rob[Toronto]β€’

HA! Well done sir. (Sits and waits for a normcore review)

2
dancetarOP[The Giant Parking Lot (LA]β€’

Haha. glad you took it well.

I really hope one day you just do a shitty job taking photos on purpose just to fuck with us. But all the while, pretending they are some of the best shots you have taken.

1
photo_rob[Toronto]β€’

I do have something planned in that light.

2
dancetarOP[The Giant Parking Lot (LA]β€’

Totally my idea. You are so welcome

Excellent way to start my u/warpedcigars Wednesday review tour, nice write up! It's still too early to call the review, but you've got "Cutest Manbun" locked up!

2
dancetarOP[The Giant Parking Lot (LA]β€’

At that time. People were calling it "the sprinkler"

1
wayward_midland[Minneapolis, MN]β€’

I was gonna go with "the sparkler"

2
dancetarOP[The Giant Parking Lot (LA]β€’

To be fair. Both completely represent my hair at that time.
