Let’s take a look at the Backwoods Select lineup currently available at Red Roots.

Connecticut Special

Backwoods Select Connecticut Special delivers a premium broadleaf smoking experience crafted for those who appreciate balanced flavor and classic cigar character. Each 3-pack features rustic-style cigarillos made from 100% all-natural Caribbean Basin Cuban Seed tobaccos, wrapped in a prized Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper grown in the historic Connecticut River Valley. Connecticut Broadleaf is widely respected among cigar enthusiasts for its dark, oily leaves and naturally sweet character. Sun-grown and carefully cured, this wrapper produces a flavor profile that’s smooth, earthy, and gently sweet, often carrying notes of cocoa, spice, and natural tobacco richness. Paired with premium Caribbean Basin Cuban Seed filler tobaccos, Connecticut Special delivers a full-bodied yet remarkably smooth smoke, producing a delicate aroma and balanced flavor from first draw to final puff.

Pennsylvania Primo

For smokers who enjoy deeper, darker tobacco character, Backwoods Select Pennsylvania Primo brings the bold spirit of Pennsylvania Broadleaf to the forefront. Pennsylvania has long been famous for producing some of the richest and most powerful broadleaf tobacco in the cigar world. The region’s fertile farmland and humid summer climate help cultivate thick, sturdy leaves known for their robust flavor, deep sweetness, and hearty smoke output. Pennsylvania Broadleaf is prized for its dark molasses sweetness, earthy richness, and hints of spice and leather. These leaves develop a heavy, oily texture during curing, creating a cigar that delivers bold flavor with a dense, satisfying smoke. Inside the blend, Caribbean Basin Cuban Seed filler tobaccos help round out the profile, balancing the intensity with smooth natural tobacco notes. The result is a rich, full-bodied experience that still maintains the relaxed draw and easygoing character that Backwoods fans expect.

Guatemala Satin

Backwoods Select Guatemala Satin highlights tobacco broadleaf cultivated in the fertile regions surrounding two of Guatemala’s most famous volcanoes: Volcán de Fuego and Volcán Pacaya. Nourished by mineral-rich volcanic ash and a warm, sunlit climate, these tobaccos develop a depth of flavor and smoothness that sets them apart. Volcanic terrain produces tobacco leaves that are rich, aromatic, and full of character, giving Guatemala Satin its mellow yet full-bodied personality. The smoke is smooth and balanced, delivering natural earthy tones with subtle sweetness and a gentle richness that gradually builds throughout the session. It’s a perfect option for those who enjoy a complex yet approachable cigar, shaped by one of the world’s most unique growing environments.

Honduras 1883

Step into cigar heritage with Backwoods Select Honduras 1883, a special release celebrating one of the most respected tobacco-growing regions in the world. This premium blend highlights Caribbean Basin Cuban Seed tobacco, paying tribute to the year 1883, when Honduras first emerged as a major force in the global cigar industry. Honduras’ rich soils and warm tropical climate create ideal conditions for cultivating bold, flavorful tobacco. The result is a broadleaf known for its deep earthy character, subtle spice, and naturally rich aroma. Combined with carefully selected Caribbean Basin Cuban Seed fillers, Honduras 1883 delivers a full-bodied yet balanced smoke, offering layers of natural tobacco flavor with a smooth and satisfying finish.

Philippines Prestige

Discover a unique expression of tobacco craftsmanship with Backwoods Select Philippines Prestige. This special release showcases premium tobacco broadleaf grown in the volcanic soil and sun-drenched climate of the Philippines, an environment known for producing leaves with exceptional smoothness and character. The country’s fertile volcanic earth and warm tropical growing conditions nurture tobacco plants that develop rich, flavorful leaves with natural complexity. These tobaccos create a smoke that’s balanced and refined, offering earthy undertones with a gentle sweetness and silky finish. Paired with Philippine-grown filler tobaccos, Philippines Prestige delivers a full-bodied yet smooth smoking experience, producing steady flavor and a consistent burn from start to finish.

The Backwoods Experience: Classic Style, Select Tobaccos

True to tradition, every Backwoods Select cigar maintains the brand’s unmistakable rustic look. Each cigar features the classic tapered body, unfinished head, and frayed foot that make Backwoods instantly recognizable. The draw is relaxed, the feel is natural, and the smoke is rich and satisfying.

Of course, Backwoods have also earned legendary status among cannabis enthusiasts for another reason… They’re famously easy to unroll and repurpose into next-level blunt wraps. But with the Backwoods Select lineup, you might just think twice before breaking them apart.

These blends represent Backwoods’ more refined, connoisseur-style take on their iconic rustic cigars. When tobacco is this unique, sometimes the best move is simply to light up and enjoy the cigar exactly as it was meant to be smoked.
