From the website:

“It’s Time To See Human Trafficking Go Up In Smoke…By the time you have finished smoking a robusto, approximately 68 people were sold or kidnapped and forced into trafficking somewhere in the world. Chaffiot Collection advocates to abolish modern day slavery. A portion of all proceeds are donated to fund the mission.”

The Chaffiot Collection - Original Maduro is a Medium Strength Nicaraguan cigar constructed with a Nicaraguan wrapper, Sumatran binder, and Nicaraguan fillers. I smoked the 5 X 50 Robusto, topped with a double cap, perfect for the Xikar XO Straight cut.

The cap was a little sloppy, so I used the straight cut and it worked out perfect. Upon cut, the cold draw was chocolate and mild tobacco. Perfect draw resistance.

The light up was flawless with a perfect even light and a sharp burn line all the way through. Draw was superb and the smoke output was great with billowing, thick, rich smoke. Ash fell off in large chunks.

The first third had flavor notes of fig (which took a few minutes to nail down), smooth mild leather, and light cedar. The fig brought some nice complexity to the first third.

The second third offered up notes of wood, leather, and earth. The retrohale had a brief touch of black pepper that faded as quickly as it hit.

In the #finalthird the flavors came together and created a nice ending to the cigar. Notes of cedar, fig, rich leather, and a building pepper on the retrohale.

The smoking characteristics of this cigar scored a perfect rating of 25. No issues at all in smoking!

The construction was good but had some issues around the cap, but that did not take away from the enjoyment of the cigar or the smoking characteristics.

At the end of the review, I gave the Chaffiot Collection - Original Maduro a Final Third Cigar rating of 88. A nice Medium Maduro for those who like the profiles of a Maduro but don’t want a Full-Strength option they may be used to.
