Backwoods Black Russian brings a rare, exotic sweet flavour to tobacco aged for at least 12 months, creating one of the more distinctive profiles in the Backwoods range. Each 4 1/2 x 32 cigar is mild and sweet, made in the Dominican Republic in the brand’s signature rustic style.
The ageing brings out the tobacco’s natural sweetness before the leaves are enhanced with flavouring. The result is a smooth, rounded profile where the exotic sweet notes and the tobacco character complement each other rather than compete.
Backwoods cigars are rolled loosely with even pressure, so the tobacco is not compressed unevenly the way some refined shapes can be. This gives the rustic look of a frayed end, tapered body and unfinished head, along with an easy, even draw that packs plenty of flavour.
Introduced nationally in 1981, Backwoods earned its following with the Wild and Mild look Backwoods Black Russian still carries today. Each pack keeps five cigars together, making it a convenient choice for smokers who enjoy a sweet, approachable flavoured cigar.

I just wish backwoods cared about quality or the tobacco they used….
They could still make there little “cigars” ugly and still care.
