Kyle Gellis founded Warped Cigars in 2007 and has been at the helm of it’s rapid growth within the cigar industry domestically and internationally. He founded his first company at the age of 14 and grew it until its acquisition before entering into the premium cigar industry. He first came to Napa Valley in 2014 to enhance his agricultural knowledge to bring back to his tobacco farms in the high mountains of Nicaragua. The first vintage of Blue Monster came in 2016, and what began as a passion project has become a foundational pillar for his family and it’s next generation.
