Swisher sweet cigars: a buyer’s guide to sweetness
Swisher sweet cigars range from no sugar at all to candy-sweet. Here is how to find the level you like.
Swisher sweet cigars: what “sweet” means
Swisher sweet cigars get the name from the sweetened tip and the mild Cuban seed blend. Even the Original, which has no fruit flavor, tastes a little sweet on the lips. That’s what sets Swisher apart from plain tobacco brands, and it’s why so many people smoke one as their first cigar.
How sweet is each Swisher?
Here is a rough scale, from least sweet to most:
- Silver: no added sweetness at all.
- Diamond and Leaf Original: a trace of sweetness, mostly tobacco.
- Original, King and BLK Smooth: lightly sweet and mellow.
- Leaf Honey, Green Sweet and Black: clearly sweet without fruit.
- Grape, Banana Smash and Wild Rush: the most sugary, with loud fruit flavor.
Picking a Swisher sweet cigar by size
If you only have a few minutes, a mini like Mini Sweets is done in five. A pouch cigarillo takes 10 to 15 minutes. For a longer sweet smoke, the Perfecto and Slim last half an hour or more.
Is a sweet cigar milder?
It feels milder, because the sweetness on the tip covers the bite of the tobacco. The tobacco itself is the same mild Cuban seed blend across the range. Most people don’t inhale cigar smoke, so what you notice is the taste in your mouth.
What to drink with a sweet Swisher
Sweet tea, lemonade and light beer go well with fruit flavors. Coffee and dessert flavors like Black or Irish Cream make a good pair after dinner. Plainer Swishers like Diamond suit black coffee or a whiskey.
Where the sweetness comes from
Most of the sweetness sits on the tip, which is coated so your lips pick it up with every draw. Flavored Swishers also have flavor added to the wrapper, which is why the smell is so strong when you open a pouch. The tobacco inside is the same mild blend on almost every Swisher, so switching flavors doesn’t change the strength.
Buying for someone else?
If you’re not sure what they like, Grape and Original are the safest picks: one fruity, one classic. A box of minis is another good option, since it lets them try the brand without committing to a full-size smoke.
