Backwoods Cigars Online  Backwoods Cigars are rustic cigars and cigarillos with a natural wrapper that appeal to consumers looking for a simple smoking experience. The brand has been around since 1981 and is currently manufactured and marketed by Altadis U.S.A, Inc., an American subsidiary of the French/Spanish tobacco giant Altadis S.A. Based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Authentic Backwoods cigars are machine-rolled and come in several flavors. While customer reviews praise the nostalgic, back-to-basics quality of Backwoods, concerns about health risks and inconsistencies persist.

What Makes Backwoods Unique?

Specially-made cigars, Backwoods are crafted from choice Caribbean Basin Cuban seed fillers draped with a whole Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and packed in a natural shaggy cheroot-style foot with an unfinished cap. The result is a rustic appearance that is reminiscent of the old-school spaghetti western cigarillos Clint Eastwood smoked on the silver screen. Backwoods come in a variety of flavored blends as well as a non-flavored version called Original.

Customers Weigh the Pros and Cons of Authentic Backwoods Cigars

Backwoods are easy to smoke and can be enjoyed on a break at work or during outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, camping, gardening or yardwork. The smaller size makes them convenient to carry in a pocket or backpack, and their resealable foil pouch keeps the tobacco moist and fresh for a quick smoke when the moment strikes. However, a commitment to healthy smoking is important; tobacco exposes smokers to nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide, which are linked to many serious health conditions. Smokers can reduce these risks by gradually transitioning to alternatives and using best practices such as proper rolling and storage, which help ensure a slow and consistent burn, flavor complexity and balanced sensory experience.
