From warfightertobacco.com, “What is a Warfighter? We are Service Members, Veterans, Firefighters, Police Officers, First Responders and anyone who believes in selflessly protecting others from the cold, hard world. We are the Sheepdogs who protect the herd from the big bad wolf. We are a fraternity of men and women who are willing to lay it all down for an idea.
Warfighting is tough work and throughout history, at the end of the mission, when one of our members goes down, or it is time to celebrate victory, the warfighter has done so with a cigar in hand. It is in that spirit that Warfighter Tobacco Company was born. “

Leather and earth. Had to keep fixing the burn but everything else was good.

Tonight I smoked the warfighter 50. Cal. As my 7th cigar of the day, and here’s what I thought. First off, I’m a big fan of oscuro, Maduro and ligero wrappers, I enjoy the darker side of cigars and this stick disappointed me. The very dark wrapper is deceptive as all get out. This was my first war fighter 50, and I had big expectations brought on by the name and the color of this thing, mainly because I was looking for a kick your a** cigar but right off the bat it gave off a sweetness that I though was odd and out of place. As I got into it a bit I got some leather and woody notes but mostly a dark chocolate milkshake flavor. It was buttery and left an after taste of sweet low cocoa espresso, and something that tastes like a sugary molasses and oatmeal. Totally didn’t expect this flavor profile. It did toss up some spices and pepper later, but it was more of a back ground after thought as the sweet chocolate seemed to kinda take center stage. It got a little earthy moving to the end of the first third and picked up a sweet coffee bean note with some, maybe oak, notes. It did have a loose draw. Did not hold it’s ash well however, and the burn needed some correcting down the whole stick. At this point I’m asking myself where’s the nicotine, where’s my strength and full body at. It’s like someone had wrapped this dark wrapper around another low strength light colored Macanudo as a joke. It did give me some strength and body in the final third but not as much as I like or expected. I’d most likely pass on smoking another one of these. My score, 80 points, best I can do for it. It wasn’t bad, (like the dumpster fire) just not my thing. I guess it’s safe to say, I’m not impressed with the war fighter brand altogether it reminds me too much of Gurkha (more money in the band, than the blend)

Great smoke made by a great company. I can’t say enough about this cigar, nice spice but not a kick in the teeth, dark chocolate is the prominent note which gives way to light earth and espresso. For my palette this is the quintessential daily smoke whether it’s with a morning coffee or after dinner with a dark beverage you will not be disappointed. Not to mention this is a veteran owned company that deserves our support

Don’t usually give 5 stars so 4 is pretty good. Like that this seems to burn very slowly. Overall it’s a solid smoke!

This was definitely a great chocolate bomb of a cigar! I very much enjoyed it. Great construction and draw.
