Unique size. One roller who excels at rolling said size. Rolled by one roller. Andrew and Kyle's custom blend rolled by said roller. Simple packaging that allows the cigar to speak for itself... Etc.

I dunno, plenty of us spend 15+ on sharks each year, but this is a one time release. The price is not cheap by any means but I guess I don't see it as bad as the other premiums in the range that are available 365 or seasonally...
To clarify, I likely will not be buying a bundle, but I will definitely grab some singles in a split...

Don't bother, I'm buying all of these. 
Just kidding. Obviously I will post a review, and I never bring price into question. Those that have smoked the La Colmena know that the construction is top notch. You decide if it's worth it. More for me if you don't.

So is this the same blend but just a different vitola? I recently smoked a Amado No 36 and I was very impressed. Also, is this and the Unico Especial (that might be the wrong name, you know.....the one in the tin) a Small Batch exclusive?

Reina is La Colmena in a 6x48 belicoso vitola. The Unico is a tweaked version of La Colmena and is not an exclusive to Small Batch, only Reina is.

Thanks for clarifying. You guys are putting out some very impressive cigars. The Flor Del Valle Brumas is one of my favorites right now. I really like the flavor of the Aganorsa leaf you are using in it.
I know as much about blending and producing cigars as I do about Astro-Physics, can you tell us more about the tobaccos used in the different blends of your cigars? I'm definitely interested in knowing more about how each specific tobacco is used to create the flavor profiles in your cigars. I've smoked the El Oso, La Colmena and Flor Del Valle and each one was its own unique experience.
If this needs its own thread let me know.

Well thank you for your support and glad you are enjoying the lines!
Aganorsa leaf is unique, i've seen leaf from all over Nicaragua and I have yet to find something that matches up to what they are producing. The unique factor comes from all aspects, the choice of farm location, its processing, and the extreme detail put into it. Eduardo Fernandez runs an operations unlike anything I have ever seen before, and the knowledge he has and passes along to me helps in so many ways as well as working with Arsenio Ramos.
I utilize Corojo '99 and Criollo '98 when I blend, but as you know so do many other companies in in the industry. But its not the species that allows me to create the unique blends I do, its utilizing the vast farms and lots of Aganorsa. I have a love of certain farms and lots and using leaf from these specific ones allows me to create the blends you have become accustomed to.
On my last trip to Nicaragua (February) I started working with new farms and lots to create something you are not used to from Warped, and I am incredibly excited about that! I got out of my comfort zone on these new blends and it's something unlike you have experienced from Warped previously, but something that you have not experienced before as well.
In the end, a cigar starts with its material. The material I use is very different and that allows me to create unique cigars.
Hope this helps!

This right here is the exact reason why I love this forum so much. It's not just about the brotherhood here, which plays a big factor as well. Individuals, like Kyle, popping in from time to time and sharing what they are passionate about and how their products are made makes my day.
