Backwoods.. best gas station cigar?

Hi Im new to the site.....I rarely smoke drugstore/gas station cigars but i was at my local drugstore last night and i wanted to try a pack of Backwoods, and to my surprise these have got to be the best drugstore cigars i ever had! They have a nice sweet taste and smell. especially the aromatics. Has anyone else tried these?

Re: Backwoods.. best gas station cigar?

I had one once. I thought I was smoking a dog turd.

My favorite gas station cigar was always the Antonio y Cleopatras.

Re: Backwoods.. best gas station cigar?

I'm going to go against the grain and say I like the aromatic ones. I think they're pretty good for what they are, and I don't have to spend $5 for a mild after lunch smoke or something.

Re: Backwoods.. best gas station cigar?

They are not rolled very well but I smoke the natural when camping sometimes. They can be tight or loose to the point of falling apart. Less offensive to the non smokers around.

Re: Backwoods.. best gas station cigar?

I actually like but only in the winter or dont have an hour. I usually smoke the Wild Rum or honey flavors but in a pinch sweet aromatics work.

Yea I'd probably get backwoods if I had to get a gas station smoke. If I remember correctly it was only the aromatic ones I liked because they don't have a sweetened tip but put off a nice aroma. I used to smoke 'em at work for a short break smoke, but after you smoke about 3 in one day they'll start tasting like cardboard.

Good for a random smoke when theres nothing else you can get your hands on, but I'd never smoke 'em regularly again. thankfully I've moved on ha.

Re: Backwoods.. best gas station cigar?

I'll pop for the honey's on occasion, mostly if I'm out driving around aimlessly - which is something that I don't do these days with gas prices (well in the summer anyway at $4.00 a gallon - and driving aimlessly in the winter just isn't the same).

Other people think I'm driving aimlessly all the time.

Re: Backwoods.. best gas station cigar?

The backwoods are good if you

A. Have to buy a cigar at a drug store

B. Are to lazy to search the neighbors lawn for a dog or cat turd depending on your taste preference

What breed?
I'll smoke a Backwoods on occasion. The grandkids like to give grandpa a pack of cigars
for Christmas or birthday. All they know is grandpa likes cigars. Anything they give is my favorite.
