BackWoods Now Makes Pipe Tobacco

Expertly created by master blenders, Backwood’s new line of natural pipe tobacco is a must-smoke for every pipe smoker. At the beginning of the year 1973, the Backwoods Smokes brand was established in the United States and has, ever since, maintained a prime standard of excellence with its tobacco products. Made with all-natural tobacco and no homogenized components, this new line of pipe tobacco offers unique, smooth, and aromatic blends of tobacco, plus mild, fresh, and flavorful smokes when you light it up in your pipe.

Backwoods created this line of natural pipe tobacco with four (4) brand new flavors, namely;

The Original;
Black N Gold;
Buttered Rum;
Cherry.

Each flavor will be reviewed at length in this text, but overall, these pipe tobacco flavors are all smooth and mellow, possess pleasant aromas—so you’re more likely to get approval from your spouse to smoke indoors—and give pleasurable smoking experiences to pipe lovers. The tobacco is made up of fine blends of Black Cavendish, Kentucky Burley, and Golden Virginia combined with the respective flavors. These blends are rich but don’t have any bite in them, unlike most pipe tobacco products.

The tobacco is ribbon cut, which means that it does not need any preparation before smoking; it can simply be stuffed into the pipe bowl and lit up immediately. This tobacco cut also allows for a nice and slow burn, so you don’t have to keep relighting it as you smoke—which can be very annoying when you’re smoking a pipe.

Finally, the line of Backwoods Natural Pipe Tobacco is very affordable, retailing at less than $5 for a single pack and a more economical $25.99 for a box of 6 packs. Now here are the four flavors of Backwoods’ natural pipe tobacco with a little more detail on each flavor to enable you to select which one will become your personal favorite:

The Original flavor

The first flavor of Backwoods’ new line is a unique, rugged cut of natural pipe tobacco blended with the finest aromatic Burley and Virginia tobaccos. It has the best tastes and smells with amazing room notes that are extremely mild yet particularly pleasant. The flavor consists of a generally sweet—almost sugary—profile with hay, tart, tangy citrus, and honey notes from the Virginias and mildly nutty, earthy, and woody notes with some molasses from the Burley.

The flavor is very consistent from start to finish, just in case you’re looking for something to really sweeten up your day. It’s a perfect recommendation for new pipe smokers, anyone who just prefers tobacco with a strength and a taste that aren’t too jarring, or anyone who really likes that sweet smell diffusing into your space as you puff at your pipe.

The Original flavor of the Backwoods Natural Pipe Tobacco can also serve as a mixer if you’re in search of a good foundation blend for trying out your own flavoring or topping because it is also quite neutral with little to no aftertaste. All in all, this pipe tobacco tastes like what an old-timey smoke should.

The Black N Gold flavor

A delightful blend of all the rich and tangy ingredients of Backwoods’ pipe tobacco, the Black N Gold flavor is an aromatic, mildly rustic blend type with medium strength, flavoring, taste, and pleasant room notes. The flavoring is also very interesting as the tobacco provides some sugar notes as well as citrus, grass, and a touch of honey, all of which are topped lightly with vanilla and caramel. This combination is so sweet and smooth that the tobacco never gets harsh on your palate when you smoke it. Some even describe smoking it as similar to smoking a dessert due to its pleasant taste. It is so pleasant that you can even have it as an all-day smoke!

The taste of this tobacco is well-balanced and consistent, enabling you to keep its sweet and slightly earthy zest in your mouth for a while. The Black N Gold Natural pipe tobacco can be your new and simple guilty pleasure, perfect to be enjoyed during your downtime paired with a chilled craft beer of your choosing.

The Buttered Rum flavor

This buttered rum variant is another blend of the lead components—sweet Virginia and nutty Burley but enhanced with New England and Jamaican rum flavors. The taste of this tobacco is delicious, really. It is sweet, creamy, and has the faintest spice notes from the rum. The smoke is very smooth, and the strength is exceedingly mellow; it doesn’t overpower your senses at all. The aroma is delectable, and the blend is perfect for rum lovers because it puts a creamy rum taste on your tongue from the very first puff.

It is excellent pipe tobacco to kick back and relax with because it is an easy, non-complex, and consistent all-day smoke that requires no concentration.

The Cherry flavor

Backwoods Cherry Pipe Tobacco is another flavor the brand has delivered that fans of mild aromatics will adore. The cherry flavor of the blend gives it a berry fruitiness, making it the perfect summer blend to unwind with when the weather gets sultry. The flavor is one that will lift your spirits high if you’re also a berry lover because it will have your palate awash with a mildly formidable taste of cherries and plums when you smoke it. The perfectly soft and sweet aroma is another plus with this blend, and the decent burn of it creates a cool smoke and gives no bite at all. What a sweet flavor!

Now that you know about tobacco, time for you to learn about what you smoke tobacco. Here are two different lines of pipes that are must-haves for you as a pipe aficionado. You can either buy these pipes for yourself or give them as a gift to someone else you know who loves pipes!

The Chang Feng Pipe

At an average price of $11, this pipe is very affordable and a go-to for most beginners with pipes. It is one of the best in quality among the affordable pipes available in the market. The body of this pipe has a texture that is smooth to the touch and a sleek shape, and the pipe itself has a very impressive draw. It is tremendously easy to clean and comes with some nice pipe accessories.

The Erik Nording Pipe

The Erik Nording line of pipes is handmade in Denmark, so you can never have the exact same Erik Nording pipe as the next pipe smoker. They are in a slightly pricier range, but the quality that you get from these is 100% worth their prices. The pipes are stable and sturdy with stylish designs, durable for long-lasting use, and crafted with perfect dimensions so that when you pick up your Erik Nording pipe for a smoke, you also get the bonus of aesthetics.

How To Smoke Your Pipe With Good Etiquette

In order to smoke your pipe using good social etiquette, try to keep the following in mind so that you do not rub anyone the wrong way as you enjoy your smoke

When in doubt, ask: So that you don’t inconvenience anyone who could possibly be uncomfortable with your smoke.
Always give comments: A smoker who uses another’s tobacco need not ask permission but must offer some commentary on the blend.
Acknowledge the taking: If you are offered to help yourself to a friend’s tobacco, you definitely don’t need to ask for permission. However, it is still necessary to acknowledge the taking of said tobacco. A simple “I stole a pinch” should suffice.
Lighting up: You should share your matches and lighters without hesitation, but a smoker should only hold the lighter while lighting for a member of the opposite sex.
Sharing etiquette: It is okay to share pipes but not encouraged. Those you share with should be family or closer than.
Don’t discriminate: Corncob pipes are still pipes, so don’t look down on anyone who is smoking one.
Don’t brag: If you’re showing off a new pipe, it is okay to comment on its uniqueness, its craftsmanship, or the ridiculously low price paid for it. It is not okay to brag about how much money you paid for an expensive pipe or how impressive a pipe you can afford. This can only be excused if said pipe purchase caused your divorce. Then anything goes.
Size and technique don’t matter. Attitude does. So don’t hold your pipe like a cigarette: Unless you are a beginner and/or you want to show that you are one.

How To Light Your Pipe And Keep It Lit

On a more serious flavor note now, here’s how to light up your pipe and keep it lit:

Be sure to use wooden matches or a soft flame butane lighter. Do not use a torch lighter
Give the tobacco in your pipe the charring light or the first light.
Light your match or lighter and apply it to the tobacco, moving it in a circular motion.
While doing this, take a few puffs on the pipe to draw the flame in. The tobacco will probably swell up during this process.
Allow the charring light to go out.
Tamp the tobacco down so that it’s even with the top of the bowl. Do this very lightly.
Relight a match, or you’re lighter, and apply it to the tobacco again, moving it in a circular motion.
While doing this, take a few short puffs on the pipe.
If you feel like your pipe is about to go out, stoke it by placing two fingers on the top of the bowl and puff gently a few times.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy your pipe.

Finally, the Backwoods Natural Pipe Tobaccos offer the sweetest pipe smoking experiences ever. So if you’re a pipe smoker and you haven’t tried one of the varieties of Backwoods Pipe Tobacco flavors, what are you waiting for?
