Warfighter Cigars

Warfighter Tobacco Company is a cigar manufacturer that was started in 2006 by military veterans Chris Ferdico, Scott Jansen, Bryan Bettey, Jon Simons, and Vincent. The mission of Warfighter Tobacco Company is to make really good cigars and to help support fellow military veterans and their families.The company was initially founded By Scott Jansen while on the set of Range 15 with other military members. One of his friends mentioned to him how other military veterans were succeeding in making various clothing, coffee, and outdoors products, because they were able to tailor their products around a military aesthetic, because of their prior experience serving overseas. With the help of other companies owned by veterans, like Black Riffle Coffee Company and Article 15 Clothing, Warfighter Tobacco had a limited cigar release of about 300 units, which was met with positive reviews from friends, family, and fellow military veterans alike.

They then found a great cigar manufacturer in the nation of Nicaragua, which provided much needed jobs to many impoverished members of the local community. Then, in July of 2017, at the International Premium Cigar and Pipe Tobacco Retailers Association Convention, the newly formed Warfighter Tobacco Company was officially unveiled to the masses, and to the surprise of everyone that started the company, people not only loved the cigars, but they loved the people, mission, and brand of the company.

Warfighter Cigars was the first mainstream tobacco company that is owned by veterans and they base their whole brand around a military aesthetic and vibe. This is extremely unique in the cigar industry, and their unique cigar band designs as well as cigar names help them stand out from the crowd.

The Warfighter Tobacco Company is also dedicated to helping former veterans through their involvement in various charitable and volunteer programs for military veterans and their families. They also employ many military veterans with reliable, well-paying jobs.

By having a unique mission, a great story, as well as an innovative cigar brand, Warfighter Tobacco Company was able to revolutionize the cigar market through creative branding and by creating a company that has great cigars, made by great people, with a great company mission and vision.
