Backwoods Cigars
Backwoods Cigars – Rustic Flavour, Iconic Smoke
Backwoods Cigars are more than just cigarillos—they’re a cultural icon. Known for their rugged appearance, smooth draw, and bold flavours, Backwoods has built a reputation as one of the most distinctive machine-made cigar brands on the market.
At Cigarette Express, we proudly carry the full range of Backwoods products, including sought-after flavours and rare limited drops. Whether you’re a seasoned smoker or just getting into these pocket-sized delights, Backwoods offers an authentic, flavourful smoking experience at prices better than most retail or online stores in Canada.
A Brief History of the Backwoods Brand
Backwoods Cigars were introduced in 1973 by the Imperial Tobacco Group in the United States. Their goal? Create a machine-made cigar that mimicked the appeal of hand-rolled smokes—but with a convenience factor that everyday smokers would appreciate.
Backwoods quickly set itself apart with its rustic look: a tapered body, frayed end, and unfinished head wrapped in a natural tobacco leaf. Over the decades, it became a favorite not just among cigar smokers, but also among pop culture icons, especially in hip-hop, where Backwoods became a staple.
Today, Backwoods is one of the most widely recognized cigar brands in North America, and its lineup continues to grow with new, flavourful releases each year.
What Makes Backwoods Cigars Unique?
Backwoods aren’t your average machine-rolled cigar. Here’s what makes them stand out:
- Natural Leaf Wrappers: Unlike many machine-made cigars that use homogenized tobacco paper, Backwoods uses real tobacco leaves for a more authentic smoking experience.
- Rustic Appearance: The rough look isn’t a flaw—it’s the brand’s signature. Each cigar has an old-school feel that resonates with smokers who appreciate raw authenticity.
- Flavour-Infused Options: From sweet to creamy to bold, Backwoods has developed a range of flavours that enhance the natural tobacco taste without overpowering it.
- Freshness Packaging: Each pack is foil-sealed to preserve freshness and aroma, whether you’re smoking it now or storing it for later.
