Backwoods are originally a brand of natural tobacco cigars, which became known in the scene primarily as a basis for blunts. The coarse, natural tobacco leaf is rolled up and refilled – hence "Backwoods" has almost become synonymous with high-quality blunt wraps.
What makes Backwoods special?
Unlike smooth, industrial cigar wrappers, Backwoods have a rustic, irregular natural leaf. This gives the finished blunt a strong, characteristic taste and a coarse look that many appreciate. It is precisely this original look that has made Backwoods a cult object.
Backwoods and Blunts
To roll a blunt, the cigar is carefully unrolled, some of the tobacco is removed, and the leaf is refilled with one's own material. The result burns slowly and for a long time. Because the natural leaf is prone to tearing, it takes some practice – but a Backwoods blunt looks particularly authentic.
