Warfighter Adding Minutemen Size to Core Lines
In the coming months, all six of Warfighter Tobacco Co.’s core lines will have a new smaller vitola known as the Minutemen.
Scott Jansen, president of Warfighter, told halfwheel that the company will be releasing the size, which measures 4 x 44, to one line every month or so beginning in January. The first line to get the small vitola will be the 5.56 mm Garrison Corojo, which uses a Nicaraguan corojo wrapper, Nicaraguan habano binder, and a filler mix of Honduran habano from Jamastran, Nicaraguan habano from Jalapa, and Nicaraguan habano ligero from Estelí.
The size has already been released in the .50 Cal Garrison Oscuro Maduro line, which leaves the 5.56 mm Field Connecticut Shade, 7.62 mm Field Sumatra, 7.62 mm Garrison Rosado, 5.56 mm Garrison Corojo and .50 Cal Field Maduro to receive the vitola. Jansen didn’t disclose the order that the vitola will be released in those blends.
He did say that the vitola has been very popular and the company has received lots of requests for the size in all of its blends. Regardless of the blend, the cigar will be sold in packs of five, and each of the five packs will be priced at $29.95, before taxes.
All of Warfighter’s cigars are made at Tabacalera Carreras after moving production from Plasencia Cigars S.A. in March 2020.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
