If you enjoy natural leaf cigarillos, you\u2019re likely familiar with Backwoods cigars. But 12 other top-notch brands make authentic, natural cigarillos that rival Backwoods, and we\u2019re excited to share them with you today! However, before we dive in, you must be 21 or older to purchase or smoke tobacco in the United States. So, if that\u2019s not you, now\u2019s the time to exit and stay tobacco-free. We don\u2019t promote or recommend smoking! As for all our fellow smokers who are of legal age and can make their own decisions, this post is tailored for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal isn\u2019t to tell you the best cigar\/cigarillo natural leaf brands, but to help you discover the finest natural leaf brands for your herbs, or to smoke as is, so that you can choose the best brand for you. In other words, we aim for brand discovery! As for our rankings, I\u2019ve tried every one of these brands, many, a lot more than once, so I know a bit about them firsthand. However, my opinions are mine alone, so I invite you to try them all until you find the ones that smoke the best according to you! In the meantime, here are my top picks to get started with…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Backwoods <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kicking things off, Backwoods Cigars reigns supreme as America\u2019s go-to natural leaf cigarillo brand. Known for their bold flavors and variety, they come in 8-pack boxes, 24-count boxes, or 40-count boxes, all available here at Bluegrass Tobacco. This is my #1 favorite, all-time natural leaf cigar brand. Hate it or love it, it\u2019s the brand that millions prefer above all others. I\u2019m a huge fan of the Original, White Russian Cream, Dark Stout, and sometimes Banana, when I\u2019m in the mood. Check out my Backwoods rankings here<\/a>. How about you, though? What are your favorite Backwoods flavors? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flavors Available<\/strong>: Banana, Bananas Foster, Black Russian, Chocolate, Cognac XO, Connecticut Special, Dark Berry, Dark Leaf, Dark Stout, Generation Now, Guatemala Satin, Grape, Honey, Honey Berry, Honey Bourbon, Original, Pennsylvania Primo, Philippines Prestige, Russian Cream, Smoked Caramel, Sweet Aromatic, Tical, Wild Rum, & Vanilla  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Dutch Leaf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brought to you by Dutch Masters, Dutch Leaf cigars are the real deal for premium natural leaf smokers. Available here at Bluegrass Tobacco in 30-pack boxes of 2 (60 cigars), they\u2019re priced so well your local shop can\u2019t touch \u2018em, even on sale! These slow-burning, authentic-tasting cigarillos are easy to roll and perfect for those who only smoke the best. Like Backwoods, I\u2019ve been smoking Dutch Masters since the early 2000s, so this is definitely my #2 go-to brand that I know won\u2019t disappoint. My favorites are Palma, Russian Cream, and Gold. How about you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flavors Available<\/strong>: Gold, Palma, Pure Tobacco, Ripe Berry, Russian Cream, Sweet, & Tropical <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Game Leaf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Game Leaf is straight-up one of the best-selling natural leaf cigarillo brands in the US right now, and continues to be year after year! Their unique, bold flavors are a hit with herb smokers, including me, and they come in multiple box sizes at unbeatable prices, especially if you score yours here at Bluegrass Tobacco! We offer several package deals, including 15-pack boxes with two per pack and 8-count boxes with five per pack! My favorites are White Russian, Sweet, and Peach Sangria, those are fire! Geam Leaf is easily my 3rd favorite! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Swisher Leaf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Swisher Leaf is my fourth-favorite natural leaf cigarillo after Game Leaf. Known for killer flavors, freshness, and top-tier quality, they\u2019re also one of the most budget-friendly options out there. Get a 10-pack box of 3 (30 cigars) here at Bluegrass Tobacco, and we\u2019ll ship \u2018em to you fast. I\u2019m a long-time, day-1 fan of Sisher Leaf and get in the mood for one at least two or three times a week, sometimes more! My favorites are Sweet Aromatic and Dark Stout. How about you? What are you smoking on tonight? See my Swisher Leaf rankings here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Palm Leaf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Palm Leaf wraps or cones are making waves in the natural leaf market. They\u2019re not your traditional tobacco-based leaf wraps, but they\u2019re super smooth, authentic tasting, and are handmade with quality craftsmanship. So, if you appreciate a reliable, slow-burning leaf wrap that delivers every time, these are the ones! At Bluegrass Tobacco, you can grab a 24-pack box of 2 (48 wraps total) at a price that\u2019ll make you and your wallet happy! I like the Sweets flavor the best. How about you? If so, what\u2019s your favorite one? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Show BK Cigars is killing it in the natural leaf scene, going from a few flavors to a stacked lineup thanks to crazy demand from smokers just like you! What started as a small player turned into a nationwide hit, proving the doubters wrong. Pick up a box here at Bluegrass Tobacco and see why these cigars are stealing the show. I don\u2019t smoke them too often because I already have my favorites, but every now and then, Show hits me with something I have to try! Although I must admit, I love their new Show Leaf Aromatic cigars; you should really try those! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flavors Available<\/strong>: Aromatic, Banana Split, Diamond, Grape, Honey Berry, Natural, Russian Gem, Sweet, Black, Blue Palma, Diamond, Green Sweets, Koosh, Lemon Ice, Mango, OG Kush, Peach Mango, Silver, Strawberry Koosh, Sweet, Tropical Twist, Watermelon, Wet & Fruity, White Grape, & Vanilla  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Marsh Wheeling Rough Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Born in 1840 in Wheeling, West Virginia, Marsh Wheeling Rough Cut Cigars keeps it old-school with authentic natural leaf flavors and vibes. Now made in Frankford, Indiana, they\u2019re as legit today as they were back then. Get an 8-pack box of 5 (40 cigars) here at Bluegrass Tobacco and stay true to the roots of American cigar-making. I like these from time to time, especially the Sweet Aromatics; those have never once disappointed me, and I\u2019m sure they won\u2019t either!

If you\u2019ve never tried them before, they\u2019re similar to Marsh Wheeling and come in an 8-pack box of 5 (40 cigars). We ship nationwide, with most orders landing in 2-3 business days.

Say hello to CRWNZ Natural Leaf Cigars, a newer face in the cigarillo game. At Bluegrass Tobacco, you can grab a 30-pack box (2 cigars per pack, 60 total) for about $35\u2014that\u2019s roughly 50 cents a pack! If you haven\u2019t tried these yet, now\u2019s the time to light one up and drop your thoughts in the comments for future readers. I like Cream the best, but honestly, I always forget about them!

10. Doopy Woods <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some folks call Doopy Woods a Backwoods copycat, but let\u2019s be real\u2014these natural leaf cigarillos stand tall on their own. They burn slow, taste great, and match Backwoods\u2019 vibe without breaking a sweat. Get them here at Bluegrass Tobacco in an 8-pack box of 5 (40 cigars total) for a price that makes them a no-brainer to try! I like Banana and Russian Cream, but like CRWNZ, I always forget about them! I remember when first got them in stock, I laughed my butt off, and then I gave \u2018em a shot months later. Needless to say, I wasn\u2019t laughing anymore!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flavors Available<\/strong>: Banana, Russian Cream<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Good Times Sweet Woods Leaf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may know Good Times Cigarillos, but their Sweet Woods Leaf line is next-level. These natural leaf cigarillos are fresh, slow-burning, and always deliver authentic flavor. At Bluegrass Tobacco, you can snag a 15-pack box of 2 (30 cigars) for under $20. That\u2019s a steal for quality this good. I used to smoke these a few years back; they were like $10 a box, but each year, they got more and more, so I gave up on them. Although they\u2019re still good, they\u2019re just not my favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flavors Available<\/strong>: Banana, Classic, Creamy Peach, Cognac, Diamond, Golden Honey, Honey Berry, Natural, Platinum, Rum River, Russian Cream, Silver, Sweet Aroma, & Vanilla<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Zig Zag Leaf Rough Cut Cigars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the legendary rolling paper brand, Zig Zag Leaf Rough Cut Cigars bring quality, flavor, and value to the table. Score a 15-pack box of 2 (30 cigars) here at Bluegrass Tobacco for a price your local retailer can\u2019t match. So, if you\u2019re a Zig Zag fan or just out and about looking for something new, these are a must-try! On a personal note, I don\u2019t like them much; they don\u2019t taste bad, I just think they\u2019re a little weak, burn faster than others, but then again, a box costs like $18, so you almost can\u2019t complain! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flavors Available<\/strong>: Honey Berry, Natural, Russian Cream, & Sweet Aromatic  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only You Can Choose the Best Natural Leaf Cigars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The truth is, there are many excellent natural leaf cigar brands and flavors on the market today, some I didn\u2019t mention because I think they suck, like Throwback, those were a real disappointment in my opinion, but who cares when we have so many other great options to choose from, such as my top five listed above! However, selecting the best is all about what you prefer and how much you\u2019re willing to spend. If you\u2019re like me and don\u2019t mind paying a little extra for the best natural leaf cigars or cigarillos, chances are you won\u2019t mind the price, especially since nobody has better prices than Bluegrass Tobacco!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
