In this episode of the Back Porch Lounge, the Leaf Cutters dive into the Warfighter Garrison 762 —a veteran-owned blend that’s earned attention in the leaf community. We share flavor notes, construction details, draw performance, and personal ratings, while also discussing the brands we love (and the ones we don’t).From first puffs of natural sweetness to evolving spice, chocolate, and coffee notes, the Garrison delivers a complex, medium-to-full experience. Along the way, we highlight brands like Patina, Grand Habano, Oscar, and Black Label Trading Company—favorites for their consistency and boutique quality. We also share honest takes on lines like Girka, Rocky Patel, and Indian Tobac, showing how personal taste shapes every enthusiast’s journey.But this review is about more than flavor—it’s about supporting veteran-owned businesses. Warfighter stands out not only for their blends but also for their mission, partnering with Cigars for Warriors to give back to veterans and active-duty service members.
