Warped La Colmena is getting a bold upgrade for its 10 year anniversary

Warped La Colmena Amado No 50 special edition box.
Warped

One of my favorite cigars is the Warped La Colmena. It’s brimming with smooth, delicious flavors like honey, vanilla, and white pepper, and woodsy notes like cedar. It’s a light to medium-bodied smoke indicative of classic Cuban cigars. It has also been around for about ten years, and although its blender — and Warped brand owner — Kyle Gellis has launched an eclectic mix of cigars since, it’s a staple of the company’s offerings to this day. It makes a lot of sense that they’re revisiting the blend, this time going with a stronger, full-bodied version.

For its 10th anniversary, Warped is launching the La Colmena Amado No. 50. It features the same beautiful Ecuadorian binder and filler, albeit with stronger tobacco from higher up on the plant.

Only 1,500 to 2,000 boxes were made, with the hand-roller capping off at about 100 cigars per day. Some outlets have reported 1,500, while others have reported 2,000, but either way, it’s a limited release and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Needless to say, I’m pretty excited about this news and this release.

When is the La Colmena Amado No. 50 available?

Right now actually. The new blend is already on sale at select retailers like and Small Batch Cigars. The suggested retail price is $260 for a box of 10, which puts them at about $26 per cigar at full price. If you can snag some, I’ll bet you’re in for a real treat.

Warped has also launched additional 10th anniversary blends including the El Oso and Don Reynaldo 10th Anniversary. This La Colmena update appears to be part of that series.

It will be interesting to see how the stronger leaves affect the experience. I’ll be doing my best to get my hands on a box, and if I do, I’ll be sure to report back.

If you like classic Cubans or want to try something a little different from the average New World cigars out there, give this one a try or even .

April’s best: Shows on Max that will keep you hooked
From new originals to the best shows in HBO history, these are great shows to stream on Max
Scene from Succession

HBO Max was one of the most popular streaming services in the world due to the volume and the quality of the shows and movies on the platform. You've probably noticed when you log into HBO Max that the platform has been replaced by Max. What does this mean? WarnerMedia and Discovery have merged all of their content into one convenient location. You can still enjoy all of the shows like Succession and The Sopranos that were available on HBO Max, and this new streaming service also includes the kinds of reality shows that were available on Discovery+. Essentially, the libraries of the two services have been merged.
As is the case for many young TV lovers, HBO was one of the places I checked first for great TV, and some of the shows on this list made me realize everything that TV was capable of. What's even better, though, is that Max always has another show on deck.
Whatever kind of show you're looking for, you're likely to find it on Max. From iconic dramas to some of the funniest comedies ever created, every show on this list is a must-watch, whether it's 30 years old or just came out this year. Here are the best Max shows.

My favorite type of actor is the one where I'm watching my new favorite show, and they appear on the screen, and I immediately tell my brother (who happens to be my go-to TV-watching partner), "It's that guy!" No name, no recollection of where I've seen him before. "He's in everything!" This is the best compliment someone can give an actor when they star in a new project. Sure, it's probably fun to be Tom Hanks or Denzel Washington, but those superstars almost devour the characters they play. It's sometimes a disservice to a story when the actors are so famous that they can't help but overshadow the role they're playing.

Walton Goggins is the ultimate "I know him!" TV actor of the 21st century. This man is a chameleon to the highest degree. Goggins transforms from a bitter boomer on a vacation to a transgender motorcycle mama in the blink of an eye. His talents have finally garnered him the recognition he deserves. Before he outgrows his discreet status as TV's most versatile performer, it's time to collect all of his best TV shows into one nice package. After reading this list you'll finally be able to put a name to his face when he's in another great show. These are the best Walton Goggins TV shows.

Even if you've picked a streaming service, it can be impossible to narrow down what you're really looking for. If you've run out of the best Netflix movies and Netflix Original series to watch, you'll need to find somewhere else to turn. Fortunately, Netflix is far from the only game in town. Anyone who uses Amazon Prime to get packages delivered to them quickly also has access to a library of fairly impressive shows and movies.

Amazon is a mega corporation, and you and I both know that it might not care that much about its streaming offerings. It's not it makes its money, or at least most of it. Even still, I was shocked at how many great shows you can watch on Prime, including some you might not expect.
