Reviews for Backwoods Authentic (Light Brown) Cigars - Pack of 5

When stored for a few months out of the tube these can be excellent. Deliciously spicy, earthy cigars. However, though I agree that they are better than most other churchills, I still prefer the Bolivar Coronas Gigantes, a more refined and rich flavour. Bolivars seem to age better also. written by A.

My first impression on looking at this was , well thats unusual ! Compared to say a Montecristo #5 ( my default smoke) I thought it would be a really quick smoke given its diminutive size but was really surprised. The initial burn wasnt linear following I think the the wrapper torpedo shape but then despite this , it settled down, didnt burn too quickly and held its draw evenly, in fact better than the MC which occasionally I find hard work. I suspect the construction is probably firmer and therefore more consistent but time will tell. Im not great on describing flavours but I do like a creamier short smoke and this reminded me a bit of some smaller grand cru Davidoffs Ive had in the past in that respect. This is a lovely short smoke, exceeded expectations and something I will go back to.

A memorable smoke from a Churchill whose fragile-looking wrapper doesnt inspire much confidence at first. A well rounded aroma with flavours of nuts, leather and delicate spices. Good and even burn, but a little bitter towards the end. written by Mihai

A fine Churchill, though not the best available. I would definitely put it up with the Punch, which is a good compliment. I wi

Beautiful stick, I purchased in Jan 19 and smoked last week so a good 7 month aging. Medium to Light strength very creamy with hints of Chocolate and coffee drawing down to a mildly spicy but still smooth smoke. I would jump at buying a box!
