Backwoods is a legendary cigar brand known for its rugged, rustic appearance and authentic smoking experience. Introduced in the U.S. in 1973 by the Altadis USA company, Backwoods cigars were designed to appeal to outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a raw, natural tobacco flavor. Their signature frayed edges, stout shape, and aromatic tobacco blend have made them instantly recognizable and widely beloved.
Each cigar is crafted using a genuine Connecticut broadleaf wrapper and filled with a carefully blended mix of natural tobaccos. Backwoods cigars are machine-rolled for consistency but retain an unrefined look that sets them apart from traditional premium cigars. They’re individually wrapped in foil to lock in freshness and flavor.
Popular flavors include:
Honey Berry, Sweet Aromatic, and Honey
Original, Dark Stout, and Black ‘n Sweet
Limited and seasonal releases like Banana, Russian Cream, and Grape
Fun fact: Backwoods cigars have become a pop culture staple, frequently referenced in hip-hop music and often repurposed by smokers as a base for custom herbal blends. York Snack Food Distribution Inc. proudly offers a wide selection of Backwoods cigars to retailers throughout the Philadelphia Tri-State area.
