Some people really do love smoking a pipe. However, most of them are like a pipe for the unique tobacco taste it provides. Very few smokers actually enjoy using a pipe: you have to fill, clean, and dry it on a daily basis, which, frankly, nobody has the time for. Besides, you have to carry your pipe all the time, wherever you go.

Dealing with a smoking pipe didn't seem worth it to John Middleton, so he eventually came up with the idea of filling a cigar with pipe tobacco. In fact, Middleton was one of the first people to create a cigar using pipe tobacco, which, at the time, was very unusual, almost unheard of. But if you think about it, a pipe tobacco cigar has more advantages than a regular cigar or a pipe!

A pipe tobacco cigar wasn't supposed to hit the market; it was thought of as 'just another experiment. However, Middleton's assistants quickly realized that they had just hit the mother lode. And they were right: that experiment turned out to be a huge success, and the John Middleton Co. has since become one of the most successful tobacco companies out there.

These days, the Black & Mild cigar is still a popular machine-made pipe tobacco cigar made of homogenized pipe tobaccos. The cigar and its varieties have fans worldwide, and there's no wonder why: their Black & Milds provide an exceptional smoking experience, a satisfying aroma, and a smooth burn.
