All natural tobacco. Years ago when a man wanted a good cigar, he'd roll his own. Those cigars didn't look that refined, but they sure tasted mild and smelled good. Now you can enjoy the same kind of smoke with Backwoods. We take all natural filler tobacco which is selected for mildness. Then we roll it in gentle-tasting Connecticut Broadleaf, a dark tobacco that is aged for at least 12 months and then repeatedly sweated to bring out its naturally sweet taste, pleasing aroma and Blackened (Maduro) appearance. We make them like they used to. Backwoods Black 'n Natural Sweet Aromatic mild cigars.
