OUR PURPOSE
It’s Time To See Human Trafficking Go Up In Smoke…
To us, cigars are more than just luxury products to be enjoyed. They are the means by which we engage in battle for the most vulnerable. With each purchase of a Chaffiot Collection Cigar, we donate a portion of the proceeds to organizations fighting human trafficking on the front lines.
Human trafficking exists in every city. It exists in your hometown. Our objective is to see it abolished.
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.
Here is an overview of our impact:
- Chaffiot Collection donates a portion of all proceeds to anti-human trafficking efforts.
- We donate to Life Recaptured, Run Against Traffic, and Bikers Against Trafficking.
- We have donated $7,000 dollars thus far to the mission.
Whether you are a newcomer to cigars, or a seasoned smoker, we invite you to join the movement and “Shop Our Collection”.
