Product Category Overview: The Backwoods Heritage
Backwoods cigars were first introduced in 1981, designed to resemble the hand-rolled cigars of the 1800s. Unlike the uniform, tapered appearance of traditional premium cigars, Backwoods are famous for their frayed ends, unfinished heads, and tapered bodies.
The Anatomy of a Backwood
100% Natural Leaf Wrapper: Every cigar is wrapped in a 12-month-aged Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco, providing a naturally sweet and dark profile.
The “Wild” Construction: The loose roll ensures an incredibly easy draw and a rustic feel that machine-perfect cigars simply cannot replicate.
Signature Aromas: Infused with high-quality essences, these cigars are as famous for their room note as they are for their taste.
Variety & Format
We offer Backwoods in the iconic 5-pack pouches, designed to maintain moisture and aroma. Our stock includes:
Backwoods Blue (Vanilla): A creamy, smooth classic.
Backwoods Purple (Honey Berry): The best-seller, known for its sweet, fruity undertones.
Backwoods Caribe (Rum): An exotic, tropical blend.
Backwoods Authentic: The original unflavored, “Wild & Mild” experience for tobacco purists.
Benefits & Use Cases
Why has this specific brand captured the attention of the UK market so effectively?
All-Natural Tobacco: No homogenized binders or fillers; just 100% natural leaf.
High Versatility: While many enjoy them straight, they are the industry standard for those looking to “repurpose” the leaf for custom blends.
Portability: The resealable foil pouches make them perfect for travel, festivals, or outdoor adventures without the need for a humidor.
Session Duration: With a roughly 15–20 minute smoke time, they fit perfectly into a busy lifestyle.
Why Buy From Online Cigar Shop?
When you order Backwoods cigars UK from us, you avoid the risks associated with the “grey market.”
Guaranteed Authenticity
The UK market is unfortunately flooded with counterfeit Backwoods. Fake products often contain sweepings, dust, and non-tobacco materials. We guarantee 100% authentic Altadis U.S.A. products, verified by official batch codes and duty-paid stamps.
Specialized Storage & Handling
Even machine-made cigars can dry out. We store our Backwoods in a temperature-controlled environment to ensure the wrappers remain supple. A dry Backwood cracks when handled; ours are guaranteed to be fresh and flexible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are Backwoods cigars legal in the UK?
Yes, Backwoods cigars are perfectly legal to buy and possess in the UK. However, they must be sold by licensed retailers and comply with UK duty and “plain packaging” regulations. We ensure all our stock meets these legal requirements.
How can I spot fake Backwoods in the UK?
Genuine Backwoods have a distinct, supple leaf wrapper and a rich, natural aroma. Fakes often have “plastic-like” wrappers, chemical smells, or inconsistent branding. Always buy from a reputable specialist like Online Cigar Shop to ensure authenticity.
Why do Backwoods come in plain packaging now?
Under UK law, all tobacco products must be sold in standardized green/brown packaging to discourage youth smoking. While the outer pouch looks different than the vibrant US versions, the cigars inside are the exact same premium blend.
