These are a good light little cigar. They are a little dry sometimes but overall not bad for a break.

These smoke very good. I like them, but the size is a little to small for me. They are smaller than the banditos. A little bit bigger than a cigarette.

Love the flavor, love the 15-20 minute smoke time, HATE that I throw almost 1 cigar per pack out due to being broken, cracked, or badly wrapped. Nothing against CI, of course. They don't make them, they just sell them. Still, I do enjoy them when they're intact.

What I have been looking for, a natural tasting cigar without the tuti fruti taste of the blunt rollers that most stores sell and at a decent price.

Love the flavor but the quality is not up to par. Some are packed to tight so they do not draw. Some are packed to loose so the wrap falls off. I switched to 1882 from the other popular brand several years ago just for this reason. Garcia Vega needs to step up to the quality of the cigars they used to provide.

Many loosely wrapped cigars, holes in wrap. If your looking for something along the lines as a backwood, they tried here but has a different distinct taste to them especially half way through.

Another former Backwoods smoker who got tired of increasingly poor quality of the product and having mine and thousands of customer complaints being ignored by the company. After several years of trying other brands, I find 1882 is a great alternative.

1882's are MUCH better quality and half the local price of the other brand. Taste is equal to or better. Definitely a value packed cigar.

I smoke while my rice is cooking (50 minutes) for dinner. I need to start or flip the meat I am cooking on the stove after about 20 minutes. Perfect way to end the day. Not too sweet or harsh. I have tried all the other cigarillos and this is the best.

Customer Testimonials
Love 'em; my new Backwoods replacement!
JF of Gardner, MA
Freaking great taste and aroma! So much so I bought 4 boxes. Great everyday running around little cigar. WOW!
DR of Boise, ID
If you're a long time Backwoods smoker....then do as I have and try these! Much better quality and similar flavor!
JC of LAKE PEEKSKILL, NY
I too am a long time Backwoods smoker, I prefer the "Honey Berry" flavor. I do agree with the consistency of the 1882 cigars being rolled perfectly, as well as the mildness. The only drawback is the flavor is no where near the backwoods. I would recommend these cigars to anyone whom likes the taste of a mild cigar and not being overpowered in the sweetness of flavor. Great cigars at a great price!
MC of Frazier Park, CA
I have been a backwoods guy for 10 years or so, they go thru good and bad production runs. I average 20-30% bad cigars per pack but I package them up and send to address on package and they replace free of charge except shipping. Then CI sent me some 1882 samples, I just ordered 3 boxes. They are perfect mild cigars with no imperfections yet on the single cigars. So was backwoods though. We will see.
MD of Vidor, TX
Years (decades?) long Backwoods smoker. Finally fed up by all the holes and bad construction. Tried dozens of alternatives. Then I found the 1882s. Almost identical to Backwoods. The taste is slightly different, but still very mild. Not harsh at all, like some of the other Backwoods imitators. Best news - no holes, no breakage, no cigars wrapped so tight they won't draw. Very well made. Recommended
