WF 556 Field

5.56MM Field Connecticut Shade from Warfighter Tobacco is not your typical soft, forgettable Connecticut. It starts with a little spice, settles into a smoother lane, and gives you enough flavor to keep it from feeling like a throwaway mild cigar. Wrapped in Honduran Connecticut Shade over a Nicaraguan Habano binder, with filler from Ometepe, Colombia, and Condega, this cigar brings cream, leather, white pepper, cedar, light earth, and a little salsa-style spice on the front end. The finish smooths out, but that pepper still hangs around just enough to remind you this is Warfighter, not some country club Connecticut.

War Wagon's Take. 5.56MM Field Connecticut Shade is the Warfighter cigar we'd hand to someone who wants smooth, but not boring. This is a good entry point into Warfighter because it has the easy Connecticut profile people recognize, but with enough spice and leather to keep it from being bland. This is a strong pick for newer smokers, daytime smokers, or anyone who usually avoids Connecticut cigars because they think they're too soft. It's approachable, but it still has a little attitude. That's the win here.
