Shadow Ops & Smoke Rings: Inside Warfighter with Scott Jansen

In this special edition of The Smoked Debrief, we sit down with Scott Jansen, President of Warfighter Tobacco Company, to light up the Warfighter Nightshift and dive deep into what it means to build a brand forged by vets, for vets, and for anyone who knows what it’s like to walk through the fire. This episode isn’t about marketing fluff — it’s about the grind behind the blend, the stories behind the smoke, and the men who live it every damn day. We talk tobacco, transition, loyalty, and the deep connection between cigars and the warrior mindset. The Nightshift cigar pulls no punches — dark, bold, and unapologetic — just like the Warfighter mission. From combat zones to cigar lounges, this one hits different. If you're not lighting one up by the end of this episode, you weren't paying attention.
