I’ve been smoking Swisher Sweets since 1995, which is nothing to really brag about, but when it comes to experience, I have three decades worth! Back then, cigarillos weren’t a thing yet, so we had to work with the original-sized cigars; if you know, you know! However, cigarillos eventually made their way to the center stage around the early 2000s.
Once that transition happened, Swisher Sweets were leading the charge, becoming the most popular and best-selling cigarillos at the time! Since then, this brand has gone on to release hundreds of flavors, many of which are permanent, but just as many were limited edition flavors that were only around for a short period of time, like Cookies ‘n Cream!
It would go on like this for several years, until one day in 2019, the brand announced the release of Swisher Leaf, and that proved to be another turning point for Swisher, who was once again at the forefront of another breakthrough moment for the company!
After the successful launch of Swisher’s new leaf cigarillo line, they would once again drop another bomb, this time in 2023, with the release of Swisher Sweets Legend, which is a limited edition line of premium, all-natural leaf cigarillos. Two years later, I think it’s safe to say that they’re not so limited anymore, but then again, we could wake up tomorrow and find them discontinued, as this happens quite a bit in this market.
Currently, they’re still available here at Bluegrass Tobacco, so if you’re looking to stock up, try them again, or for the first time, now’s the time to put these ones in a bag! I tried each flavor at least once. Here’s how I ranked them, starting with the best, my personal favorite.
1. Swisher Sweets Legend Irish Cream
Irish Cream is smooth, flavorful, and delivers a steady coffee-forward profile from start to finish. The creamy taste was noticeable without being too sweet, and the natural leaf wrapper gave it a natural, authentic taste and appeal. It smoked evenly, held the flavor throughout, and didn’t burn too fast. This is the best-tasting from the entire lineup, which is why it ranks first. If you’re trying any Legend flavor for the first time, this one is most certainly pleasing.
2. Swisher Sweets Legend Original
Legend Original keeps things simple with a clean, no-nonsense tobacco flavor. There’s a light sweetness, but it never overpowers the natural leaf. The draw is smooth and steady, and it burns at a comfortable pace. For anyone who prefers tobacco-forward cigarillos without flavor infusions, this is a dependable option. It’s ideal for regular smokers who just want something consistent and not overly dressed up. No surprises here, just a solid, straightforward smoke that gets the job done every time.
3. Swisher Sweets Legend Silver
Silver has a mild, creamy taste that stays even from start to finish. The aroma lines up with the flavor, and there’s no extra sweetness or bold notes mixed in. It draws smoothly, burns evenly, and doesn’t need touch-ups. The natural wrapper keeps its shape, and the smoke stays steady all the way through. If you’re looking for something light without fruit or mint, this one keeps things simple, no surprises, just a mellow profile with a clean-tasting finish.
4. Swisher Sweets Legend Diamonds
Diamonds keeps the focus on tobacco with no added flavor infusions. There’s a small touch of sweetness, but it stays minimal and doesn’t take over. Each draw is smooth, and the burn holds steady from beginning to end. The wrapper doesn’t flake or unravel, and the smoke is balanced with no shifts in flavor. It lights easily, stays lit, and doesn’t leave a heavy aftertaste. This is one of those cigarillos you can smoke any time without having to think twice.
5. Swisher Sweets Legend Maui Mango
Maui Mango opens with a bold fruit flavor that is noticeable without coming off artificial or overly sweet. Each draw carries that same profile without any drop in taste or shift in balance. The burn was even, and the draw remained steady from start to finish. No relighting was needed, and the wrapper held firm the entire time. It’s a straightforward flavored cigarillo that does exactly what it’s supposed to, and it keeps that tropical flavor locked in the whole way through.
6. Swisher Sweets Legend Emerald
Emerald had a mild coffee flavor that blended well with the tobacco without becoming overpowering. The profile was consistent from start to finish, with no bitterness or artificial taste. It burned evenly, pulled without resistance, and held its shape the entire time. The wrapper stayed intact, and no relighting was needed at any point. Flavor didn’t shift or fade as it went. This one delivered exactly what was expected and smoked through without any problems or adjustments.
7. Swisher Sweets Legend Green
Green had a light mint flavor that mixed smoothly with the tobacco without leaning too far into menthol. The cooling note was subtle but noticeable from beginning to end. Burn stayed even, and the cigarillo didn’t require relighting. I found the draw to be steady, and the wrapper held together without flaking or coming loose. As for flavor, it held its place without fading or changing during the session. This one kept things simple and finished with the same profile it started with.
