Warfighter Tobacco Heading to Retail

After a little over a year selling cigars on the internet, Warfighter Tobacco will begin to offer brick and mortar retailers its cigars.

The company has six lines which previously have been made in the Dominican Republic, but recently it’s moved production from the unnamed Dominican factory to the Plasencia factory in Estelí. That being said, the company says the blends are remaining the same, although some sizes are now different.

Two things might stand out. First, the names are inspired by military weapons. The company is veteran-owned and operated and Warfighter has made it a big part of its branding.

Secondly, the cigars come in both boxes and bundle with the boxes about $1 more per cigar.

There is no estimated ship date for the cigars to arrive at retail.
