Chaffiot Freedom Fighter Maduro Toro

Chaffiot Collection Cigars are among our favorites at Oak Glen Tobacconist, and you may not have tried them yet! While Chaffiot Cigars has played a prominent role in the OGT Humidor for the last five years, it’s still a relatively small boutique brand. Their mission and portfolio are both admirable, and among their impressive brand, the Chaffiot Freedom Fighter Maduro may be my personal favorite. From the box-pressed Toro size to the beautiful Brazilian Mata Fina Maduro wrapper, this cigar is a must-try!

The company originally crafted the Chaffiot Freedom Fighter in two sizes: a Lancero and a ‘thick’ Churchill. However, in May 2023, we released the Chaffiot Freedom Fighter Bloody Knuckle Toro as well. We made this custom 6×54 box-press Toro for our OGT Cigar Society. It was such a hit that the Oak Glen Tobacconist cigar community voted it the #2 cigar of the year! Fast forward to the present day, and the Chaffiot Freedom Fighter has been re-released in an updated box with beautiful packaging and the return of the Bloody Knuckle vitola, a 6×54 Box Press!

This blend is incredible, and the new Toro size remains my favorite! The Chaffiot Freedom Fighter boasts a dark, oily-looking Brazilian Mata Fina Maduro wrapper over an Ecuadorian Binder and Nicaraguan fillers. Brazilian Mata Fina is one of my favorite tobaccos on a Maduro. It brings sweetness, leathery, and silky flavor with a powdery smoke texture. Mata Fina is among the original 5 seed varieties, and it elevates a blend like no other!

Chaffiot Freedom Fighter Maduro delivers a deep flavor of leather, black tea, charred oak, a touch of spice, and a sweet finish. The smoke texture, unlike so many others, is powdery and smooth, enveloping the palate. One of the distinct qualities of this cigar is the full-bodied coating of the palate. This is set against a backdrop of smooth balance. Sometimes the temptation is to think a cigar like this is not only fuller-bodied but also full in strength. However, when you enjoy this cigar, it isn’t overbearing in any way; instead, it is a slow approach and finishes clean.

All Chaffiot Collection Cigars are now available at OGT Cigars in their newest packaging, including the Chaffiot Freedom Fighter Maduro! If Chaffiot Collection is a brand you have not tried yet, the time is now. When I think of some of the best smaller, underground boutique cigar brands, Chaffiot Cigars are among them! Don’t miss your opportunity to light up the impressive Freedom Fighter Maduro. Look for it at OGT Cigars!
