Pre-light Experience
The Warfighter 5.56 Field Toro has a wrapper with the color of leather brown, with a light tan Warfighter Tobacco Company band. The aroma from the wrapper is saddle leather with light spices underneath. There is light sweet hay in the foot.
First Third
The 5.56 Field starts with sweet powdered cocoa, and light spices. The saddle leather from the aroma enters with rich, sweet cocoa on the retrohale. The spices on the main draw are completely absent from the retrohale which I find surprising. As the 5.56 Field settles in, some dry cedar adds into the complexity. The saddle leather begins to evolve into a very clean finish halfway through the first third.

Draw
The draw is perfect, with the right amount of minor resistance.
Overall
The overall smoking experience is good, with rich and nuanced flavors. The Warfighter 5.56 Field Toro is enjoyable, even though it doesn’t carry the great complexity from the first two thirds into the last third. It’s a Connecticut Shade cigar that doesn’t feature aggressive spice, or overly intense flavors. The 5.56 Field would be an excellent choice for the mild to medium cigar smoker.
