Backwoods cigarettes are the brightest representative of their niche, characterized by unique taste properties, original appearance and extensive range. The motto of this brand is “Wild and soft”, as these products combine brutal design and natural taste of selected tobacco. Backwoods cigarettes are market leaders in the United States and Canada, but in other countries of the world they are quite popular.
Products of this brand appeared on the shelves in 1970, when President Nixon signed a decree obliging to mention in advertising about the dangers of cigarettes to health. Then Americans began to massively switch to cigarillos, as they are much more natural, and therefore safer. The products of this brand immediately attracted the attention of aficionado, and by the early 1980s they had taken a leading position in their segment.
Backwoods cigarettes look really unusual – they are twisted deliberately carelessly, leaving torn ends. Probably, such were smoked by local Indians back in the time of Columbus. Unsophisticated aficionado such an appearance can frighten and even repel, but completely in vain, because such deliberate carelessness of twisting indicates the naturalness of the product.
In short, Backwoods cigarettes are a kind of smaller version of full-fledged cigars. They are made in the Dominican Republic from tobacco of the Connecticut Broadleaf variety, which is pre-aged for at least a year. It is noteworthy that Backwoods cigarettes are made not from cut, but from whole leaves, and they are twisted by hand using the same technology as standard large cigars. As a result, such products are 100% tobacco and do not contain cellulose.
In the assortment of the brand you can find Backwoods cigarettes in the classic version, as well as flavored varieties. The delicate aroma of vanilla, banana, honey, grapes, rum will give you a unique feeling of smoking. Especially good such cigarillos will be in a duet with a young whiskey. They please with light notes of sweetness and throughout the whole process of smoking do not change the taste, leaving a pleasant, light aftertaste.
Like full-fledged cigars, Backwoods cigarettes require a careful and thoughtful attitude towards themselves. On their smoking should spend at least half an hour, otherwise you simply will not be able to taste all the nuances of their taste.
