The Original Rough Rider
Before the flavors and the wild experimentation, there was Backwoods Original. No sweet glaze, no syrupy coat—just raw, rugged tobacco flavor. It was made for the man chopping wood behind the cabin and the one leaning on a lowrider in East L.A. at dusk. That weathered, frayed end and dusty broadleaf wrap carry decades of American grit in every puff.
This is the cigarillo that paved the way for every honey-dipped, berry-blasted variant that followed. But Wild & Mild stays grounded. Earthy. Honest. A true throwback to when a smoke meant tobacco and nothing else. You feel the rustic leaf, taste the farmland, and smell the barn where this story began.
In a world obsessed with dessert profiles, Backwoods Original reminds us that sometimes, the purest form is the best. It's the backbone of the Backwoods legacy—and it deserves its place in the Privada collection not for what it adds, but for what it refuses to compromise.
Flavor Journey
First Third: Rustic and raw—notes of earth, cocoa husk, and pepper rise up immediately.
Second Third: Oak and dry hay take over, layered with natural tobacco richness and a hint of molasses.
Final Third: Smooth and dry finish with a peppery backbone and toasted wood profile.
Why It Belongs in Privada
There’s no evolution without an origin. Backwoods Original is the blueprint—the one that came before the flavors, before the glitz. It’s the grandfather in overalls and work boots, passing down stories around the fire. In Privada, we honor heritage. And Wild & Mild is pure heritage. A ritual stick for those who want the unrefined, unflavored, and unforgettable.
