With their rustic look and delectably good flavors, Backwoods Cigars have become a favorite for adult consumers across the country. First introduced in 1973 and going national in 1981, Backwoods have since taken off and can be found in just about every convenience store, gas station, or tobacconist. Although they are machine-made, Backwoods’ old-school look and feel could fool any aficionado.

What gives Backwoods Cigars their distinctive look is the use of a genuine and whole Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, a rarity for machine-made brands that commonly use an HTL wrapper. Broadleaf can often look a little rough around the edges, and combined with the shaggy cheroot-style foot, unfinished cap, and gradual taper give Backwoods the look of classic cigars from the American Wild West.

Although Backwoods Cigars are the perfect choice for outdoorsy enthusiasts and feature an old-school style, they are perfect for any aficionado, especially those who are constantly on the go. The smaller size makes them ideal for squeezing in a quick and flavorful smoke during breaks at work, out running errands, doing yardwork, or any activity that would make enjoying a full-sized premium cigar unfeasible.

Coming in resealable pouches of 3 or 5, Backwoods Cigars are a great option for aficionados on the go. The resealable foil pouch helps to maintain the cigars’ freshness and ensure that when the time is right for a flavorful indulgence, your Backwoods cigar is in top-quality condition.

Special rolling machines are used to give Backwoods Cigars their distinctive tapered shape and shaggy foot, crafting choice Caribbean Basin Cuban Seed fillers draped by a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper into a 4.5x32 size.

Along with their unique look and whole Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Backwoods Cigars stand out from the rest with an array of flavors to satisfy any palate. If savory and rich is how you like it, the Honey Bourbon and Russian Cream flavors will be an excellent choice. Prefer something sweet? The Honey, Sweet Aromatic, and Honey Berry will satisfy your sweet tooth.

You can also enjoy a touch of richness and boldness with the Black Russian and Dark Stout flavors. Resembling the rich coffee flavor of a Black Russian cocktail and the dark smoothness of a stout beer, these options will fill your day with flavor. If you prefer your smokes to be traditional and old-school and cannot get enough of that rich tobacco taste, then the Original Backwoods are the cigarillos for you.

While Backwoods Cigars are a twinge pricier than some other machine-made brands out there, you simply cannot argue with the quality of the cigars, especially when looking at the wrapper. Few machine-made cigars use a genuine whole tobacco leaf as the wrapper, elevating an otherwise understated category. Despite that, Backwoods Cigars are still exceptionally affordable to fit into any budget.

No matter which Backwoods Cigars flavor you choose, know that you are in for a superior smoking experience at a price that cannot be beat for the quality you get. Available as 8 packs of 5, 10 packs of 3, or in boxes of 24, you can get your favorite flavor of Backwoods Cigars shipped to your door fast and fresh by ordering them online at JR Cigar today.

Perfect for enjoying while busy with yardwork or running around doing errands, Dutch Masters delivers smooth mouthwatering flavors catered to please any palate preference.

The history of Dutch Masters started over a century ago in 1912, first made by GH Johnson Cigar Co. Soon after, GH Johnson merged with several other cigar makers in 1918 to become Consolidated Cigar Corp – which would go on to become the maker of popular premium brands like Montecristo and Romeo y Julieta.

To develop the now famous Dutch Masters brand, GH Johnson sought inspiration from Dutch renaissance artists, known as the “Dutch Masters.” The works of Rembrandt had particularly interested GH Johnson, and the legendary work “The Syndics of the Drapers’ Guild” is portrayed on every Dutch Masters cigar.

Depicting 5 men inspecting a cloth to potentially be used by the guild, it highlights the importance of quality control and a critical eye. Dutch Masters’ focus on quality tobaccos and construction is perfectly captured by this classic work of fine art.

However, it was not until the 1950s that Dutch Masters became the household name it is today. The advent of television proved fruitful for advertisers of all industries, but Dutch Masters saw its popularity soar after working with the legendary late-night talk host and comedian Ernie Kovacs. Kovacs, a cigar fanatic himself, proved to be the perfect partner for promoting Dutch Masters.

For nearly 4 years, each month Kovacs would create an hour-long special sponsored by and advertising for Dutch Masters. Infused with his unique brand of comedy and skits, Kovacs’ commercials for Dutch Masters were incredibly popular. His works with Dutch Masters proved in the early days of television that commercials and advertising could be seamlessly combined with art and comedy.

The next 30 years saw Dutch Masters struggling. With the untimely and tragic death of Kovacs, a ban on tobacco television advertising, and public awareness of the health risks associated with tobacco, Dutch Masters sales stagnated. However, everything changed during the 1990s cigar boom and the explosion in popularity of cigar smoking, and Dutch Masters returned to prominence as a best-selling brand.

Today, Dutch Masters cigars are machine-made by Altadis U.S.A. in Puerto Rico with unrivalled precision and construction. They come in a variety of different sizes and blends, including the classic President size that captured palates over a century ago.

Unlike most machine-made cigar brands, Dutch Masters use genuine whole-leaf wrappers for its cigars, including top-quality wrappers like Connecticut Shade and Candela.

Phillies Cigars have been a favorite of the thrifty aficionado for over 110 years thanks to their iconic shape and delectably good taste. First produced by the Bayuk Brothers in 1910, Phillies Cigars remain one of the most beloved and consistent brands on the market today.

Brothers Max, Meyer, and Sam Bayuk first started making cigars back in 1896, pooling their resources to start making handmade cigars in a rented Philadelphia attic. The brothers’ first brand, Princess Bonnie, was a success and allowed the Bayuks to expand their cigar-making operations to a second facility in Lancaster, PA. 1910 saw the introduction of Phillies Cigars under the name Philadelphia Hand Made Perfecto, and the cigars were an instant classic with aficionados throughout the country. The public would frequently shorten the Philadelphia Hand Made Perfecto name to simply “Phillies” and the shorthand name soon became the official name of the brand.

Just two short years later, the Bayuk Brothers grew to encompass several cigar making facilities across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York with their headquarters situated in the heart of Philadelphia. Part of Phillies Cigars’ success is due to the cigars being packaged in branded tins of 50, which served as a form of advertising as well as proving useful for aficionados beyond cigars.

1926 saw the Bayuk brothers opening a machine-made cigar factory in Philadelphia, making use of a new technology to drastically increase the production of Phillies Cigars. The price dropped from 10¢ per cigar down to 5¢ thanks to the new machine-made rolling, and sales increased by several orders of magnitude.

At the peak of Phillies Cigars’ popularity, the brand was featured in the famous painting Nighthawks by the American painter Edward Hopper. Portraying a downtown diner late at night with light from the diner pouring out into a dark and empty street, depicted above the diner is an advertisement for Phillies Cigars, reading “Phillies – Only 5¢” under a picture of a cigar.

This iconic portrayal of 1940s Americana showcases the prevalence of Phillies Cigars throughout the years, cementing it as a staple in American culture and a household name amongst cigar enjoyers throughout the country.

Today, Phillies Cigars are still made domestically in the United States, but under the purview of cigar maker Altadis U.S.A., which is also responsible for several famous handmade cigar brands like Montecristo and Romeo y Julieta. Just as it was over 110 years ago, Phillies Cigars are an affordable option for any aficionado without the frills, bells, or whistles of more expensive handmade brands.

A tobacco sheet called Homogenized Tobacco Leaf completes the blend, offering the brand’s distinctly earthy, sweet taste.
