You have heard of me talk about Chaffiot Collection Cigars before. And why not? Some of my favorite cigars come from this company; like the Chaffiot Freedom Fighter or the Chaffiot See No Evil. Last year, based on popular vote, the See No Evil custom Lonsdale got awarded the top cigar of the year! This last week, my brother and I had the opportunity to fly to Florida and meet Justin Chaffiot, his wife, and the tobacco blender! It was an awesome experience. I tried to soak up the knowledge the best I could about blending, the industry, etc. But we didn’t make the trip just to ‘hangout’. We are working on future projects for the up coming months of the OGT Cigar Society. And, of course I am bias, but holy crap there are some BANGERS!!!
Working with both Chaffiot and his Blender ‘Z’ is an absolute honor. They are one of those companies, much like Stallone, Stulac, Indiana Ortez, and several others, where they have that passion and special sauce that makes their cigars stand out. Chaffiot cigars in particular have this silky, oily presentation to them that translates in the smoking experience. The box presses they produce are inane looking. The construction and flavor are always on point. I find that the the detail and care put into these cigars are superior than bigger brands on the market. That is why we have put in the effort to bring all our society members the opportunity to experience such amazing cigars like the Lonsdale or the custom Chaffiot Freedom Fighter Bloody Knuckle. Which, by the way, you should be seeing the Bloody knuckle return soon!
There is a final project coming at the end of the year that is an amazing cigar and a historical step in the boutique world. While I can’t go into the details at this point, I can say, the cigars that are in the works for the upcoming years are blended with tobaccos we haven’t had the opportunity to offer yet. One in particular I have been trying to incorporate since the membership started! If you would like a glimpse into the world of Chaffiot cigars, there is a limited amount of our cigar of the year – the Chaffiot See No Evil Lonsdale available to order here. Check out what this company has to offer and smoke for yourself the quality and flavor of Chaffiot Cigars. If you are not a member of the Society, and we are almost ALL FULL, sign up now! I cannot wait to share these amazing cigars with all of you!
