Swisher Sweets Cigars in Short
If we were to list the many variations of Swisher Sweets you would be scrolling for far too long. Instead, just think of a flavor and you’ll most likely find it in stock.
But to give you an idea, some of their most popular slim cigars and cigarillos have aromas of grape, cherry and mango. There are also a few more mysterious names such as Diamonds, Sweet Green and Swisher Sweets Blunts. They all fall in the lower price range so have fun with trying different kinds.
They are a daily cigar for a casual smoke, anytime, anywhere. No need to store them inside a humidor until a special occasion arises. Whenever you feel the urge for cigarillo is the right time for a Swisher Sweet.
First Look and Feel
Swisher Sweets come in simple cartons with bright colors. Soon enough you will start to recognize the colors whenever you are scrolling through our stock.
Since they in the lower price range, Swisher Sweets are mostly sold as multi-packs. That is part of the reason why we recommend them as your daily cigar; easy to buy and easy to smoke. Place them inside a leather cigarillo pouch so that you can always carry a few with you.
Swisher Sweets are individually wrapped in cellophane for continued freshness without the need for a humidor. Again, the company has made it easy for you.
Although there is nothing too exciting about the packaging, they are convenient which is exactly what you are looking for when you buy Swisher Sweets.

Swisher Sweets Flavors
Normally, this is the part where we guide you through the different flavors of the cigar, from the first cold draw to the final note. Since we’re covering Swisher Sweets in general, we can’t really do that.
On the other hand, it’s not really necessary, either. Swisher Sweets are known to be one of the smoothest slim cigars and mini cigarillos so there are no surprises. What it says on the box is pretty much what you can expect.
Do keep in mind that these are mostly aromatic cigars. If you are looking for deep woody earthy flavor notes, this is not the brand to choose. Some Swishers are sweeter than others but overall they fall into the sweetened tip category.
If you are trying to stay on the not so sweet side, try Swisher Sweets Blunts, Black Tip or the regular mini cigarillos. Or just embrace the playfulness and order the Honey or Banana Daquiri.
How It Smokes
Swisher Sweets stay true to their name. Even when they don’t have a sweetened tip, the first touch on your lips is going to be sweet. The non-aromatic varieties mellow out once the ring starts forming but it will never feel dry.
Since these are smaller size cigars, Swisher Sweets burn quickly. The ring is even and steady but don’t leave it on the ashtray too long – you won’t have much left to smoke, if you do.
Their size is what makes them a good first cigar. It makes your first time feel less imposing. You sit down for about 10 minutes and then continue enjoying the company. No fanfare but an extra piece of comfort and joy.
About the Brand: Swisher International
Although cigar connoisseurs may turn their nose up to Swisher Sweets, the company is one of the most successful brands in the business. There are over 2 billion cigars, cigarillos and e-cigarettes spread across 70 countries carrying the brand name today.
Despite their ultra-modern take on smokes, this is a company rooted in history. The Swisher Sweets that you see today were first introduced in 1958 but the company actually started much earlier, in the 1880s.
Perhaps their secret is their accessible flavor profile. All their cigars are extra smooth, making them the first choice of beginners. And don’t we all have a soft spot for our firsts?
Another cool characteristic of Swisher International is their artists collaboration. Since 2016, they have been giving fresh new artist a platform to show their unique perspective.
