Backwoods are machine-made cigars best known for their natural leaf wrapper, rustic "rolled-by-hand" look, and big lineup of flavors. With options like Russian Cream, Honey, Sweet Aromatic, Banana, and more, they’re easy to enjoy in whatever format fits your routine-whether that’s a convenient 5-pack, a 3-pack, or a full box.
About the Brand
Backwoods is a well-known cigar brand produced in the Dominican Republic and owned by Imperial Brands (the company behind other recognizable names like Dutch Masters and Davidoff). First introduced in 1973, Backwoods quickly stood out thanks to its distinctive build and easygoing, everyday style.
What Makes Backwoods Different
Backwoods cigars are made with Caribbean Basin Cuban Seed tobaccos and finished with a natural Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. Their machine-made construction is intentionally rugged, featuring a frayed foot, tapered body, and unfinished head-details that give Backwoods its signature, recognizable appearance.
Flavors to Fit What You Like
Backwoods comes in a wide mix of flavor profiles, so it’s easy to find one that matches your taste. Some of the most popular options include:
Smooth and mellow: Russian Cream, White
Sweet and flavorful:Honey, Honey Berry, Banana, Vanilla, Chocolate
Richer and bolder: Honey Bourbon, Dark Stout, Cognac XO
Classic and traditional: Original (Wild & Mild)
Pack Sizes and Packaging
Backwoods usually come in 5-packs, 3-packs, or full boxes, depending on the option you pick. Pricing changes with the pack size, so you can grab just one pack or stock up with a box. Many are sold in resealable pouches to help keep them fresh-and to make them easy to stash at home or take on the go.
Backwoods are still highly popular for their rustic look, wide variety of flavors, and convenient pack options. At Tobacco General, you can shop the full Backwoods lineup, along with related favorites like cigarillos and tobacco wraps.
