Backwoods Black Russian

Information

Named after the drink, and it tastes like someone meant it: coffee liqueur first, cola and dark sugar behind, the leaf holding the bottom. A limited-edition run, five cigars to a pack, and nothing on them is graded the way flower is.

The Black Russian character

The darkest of the three we carry. Coffee is the lead note — roasted rather than bitter — with a cola sweetness under it and a dry, almost smoky finish. If Chocolate is dessert, this one is the drink after it.

These are tobacco cigars, not cannabis: no strain, no grade, no THC figure. They sit on the papers, wraps and accessories shelf beside the Juicy Jays blueberry hemp wraps, and we stock them for the same reason.

How they smoke

Slow, and the least sweet of the three.

The coffee holds longer than the cocoa in Chocolate does, so this is the one people are most likely to smoke straight rather than split. If you are splitting it anyway, how to use a blunt roller covers that, and what a blunt actually costs does the arithmetic.

If you don't smoke tobacco, skip this one. Ready-to-smoke pre-rolls or King Palm slim cones get you there without the leaf.

What comes in the pack

Five cigars, one sealed pack, nothing bagged at our end. Limited edition means exactly that — when this run is gone the page empties and we do not choose when it comes back. Everything is priced in CAD on the buy box above. Free delivery and free Ground shipping apply to orders over $150 CAD; under that, local delivery is a $10 flat fee, mail orders pay the shipping rate shown at checkout, and the minimum order is $60. Every order includes a free gift.

Backwoods Black Russian — questions

How is Black Russian different from Russian Cream?

Different flavour, not a rename. Russian Cream is the creamy one — vanilla and custard forward. Black Russian is the coffee-and-cola one, drier and darker, and it is a limited-edition run rather than a standing line.

Which of the three is the least sweet?

This one. Chocolate is the sweetest and Vanilla sits between the two.

How should I store a Backwoods 5-pack?

Sealed, cool and out of direct sun. Heat and open air are what dry the leaf, and dry leaf cracks the second you unroll it. We keep ours in a drawer, not the fridge.

How do I pay, and how fast is delivery?

Local GTA delivery lands within 2 hours of order confirmation, 12PM to 10PM, 365 days a year. Outside the GTA we ship Canada-wide by mail order, paid by card or e-Transfer. Pay by Interac e-Transfer, which carries a 5% fee, or cash on delivery on local orders. Every delivery is 19+ with government-issued photo ID checked at the door.
