The Backwoods Original is a tobacco cigar, and a research letter published in the journal Tobacco Control in 2025 reports where the brand’s website placed it in spring 2023: together with the Craft cigars, in a group called the National Range.
The BACKWOODS mark in 1979 and the 1981 US rollout
In US trademark records as displayed on Justia, a BACKWOODS trademark covering cigars dates from a filing made on May 17, 1979; the owner now is ITG Cigars Inc. According to ITG Brands, Imperial’s company in the US and the maker of Backwoods, 1981 is the year the cigars went nationwide.
Hip-hop and festivals in Imperial’s view of Backwoods
Imperial Brands sees Backwoods as a cigar for the mass market whose links to entertainment and pop culture run deep. Imperial adds that US hip-hop is where the brand’s following is particularly strong, that Backwoods appears regularly at festivals, and that its timeline has a 1990s entry about the brand turning up in hip-hop references.
Opening an Original from the edge of its leaf
Taking a Backwoods apart for a blunt is common: the tobacco inside gets discarded and the leaf is refilled with cannabis, a practice our Fronto vs Backwoods guide describes. The guide recommends working from the leaf’s edge and going slowly; the leaf can be delicate, and once it tears, rolling becomes a struggle.
