Backwoods Cigars

Buy Backwoods Cigars Online at Smoke Shop Canada

Some cigars are refined. Others are filtered, smoothed out, and shrink-wrapped into perfection. And then there’s Backwoods—unapologetically rustic, raw, and full of flavour.

Like its name suggests, Backwoods cigars are perfect to pack with you for an outing or to puff on while you’re doing some yard work. With their signature frayed tips, authentic tobacco leaf wrappers, and wide range of bold flavours, they’ve earned a cult following among smokers, especially those dabbling in cigars. At a fair price point for its quality, Backwood is a great place to start if you’re new to cigars and don’t want to invest exorbitant amounts of money into a new hobby.

Whether you know them from camping trips, fishing, or backyard hangouts, one thing’s for sure: Backwoods remains a staple amongst cigar enthusiasts.

What Are Backwoods Cigars?

Backwoods cigars are machine-made cigars wrapped in all-natural tobacco leaf and filled with a rich, aromatic blend of tobaccos. They’re famous for their rugged look and unique taste. With no filters, no fuss, and a roll that looks like it came straight from a backcountry cabin, they offer an experience that’s as real as it gets.

Each cigar is individually wrapped to maintain freshness, and the soft roll makes for a smooth draw that’s easy to light and satisfying to smoke. Whether you’re a daily smoker or just enjoy the occasional flavourful puff, Backwood cigars offer something you won’t find in your typical smoke.

Why Backwoods Stands Out

Canadians have a long-standing appreciation for cigars, and Backwoods Canada has become a staple. There’s a reason these cigars are popular.

Here’s why Backwoods is built different:

• Rustic Appearance: No two Backwoods cigars look exactly alike, and that’s the charm. Their hand-rolled appearance adds to the rustic appeal.

• Natural Wrapper: Real tobacco leaf wrappers give them that earthy, unfiltered taste.

• Smooth Draw: Despite their rough exterior, they’re known for a surprisingly mellow smoke.

• Aromatic Flavours: From sweet and creamy to spicy and bold, Backwoods flavours hit every note.

• Perfect for Any Setting: Outdoors, indoors, or on-the-go—Backwoods is always the right call.

If you’re tired of over-processed, overly filtered cigars, Backwood brings you back to what smoking used to be—raw, real, and flavourful.

The Most Popular Backwoods Flavours in Canada

One of the best things about Backwoods cigars? The flavours. 

Here are some fan favourites across the country:

• Honey Berry: A sweet and smooth blend of honey and fruity notes.

• Sweet Aromatic: Classic tobacco taste with a hint of sweetness.

• Original (Wild N Mild): Pure tobacco goodness, no extra flavour—just the OG.

• Russian Cream: Creamy, bold, and just a little decadent.

• Dark Stout: Rich with hints of chocolate and coffee—great for cooler nights.

• Honey Bourbon: A southern-inspired twist with subtle whiskey sweetness.

• Vanilla: Smooth, classic, and mellow enough for any time of day.

Each flavour offers something unique, and many Backwoods smokers love rotating through them depending on the vibe. Looking for something sweet? Go Honey Berry. Want bold and strong? Try Dark Stout or Russian Cream.
