The Rich History of John Middleton and Black & Mild
The story of Black & Mild begins with the John Middleton Tobacco Company, a brand that has been synonymous with quality since 1856. Originally a small retail tobacco shop in Philadelphia, Middleton eventually transitioned into manufacturing, specializing in pipe tobacco blends that captured the hearts of the local community. It wasn't until the 1960s that the company innovated the "cigarillo" format by taking their world-famous pipe tobacco and wrapping it in a homogenized tobacco leaf. This allowed smokers to enjoy the rich, aromatic qualities of a pipe without the need for cleaning, packing, or tamping.
The cherry blend cigars were introduced as a response to the growing demand for flavored tobacco that didn't sacrifice the integrity of the base leaf. By infusing their signature Cavendish and Burley tobaccos with a subtle, tart cherry essence, Middleton created a product that appealed to both the palate and the nose. Today, these cigars are part of our Premium Cigars & Hand-Rolled Tobacco Collection, maintaining the same rigorous standards of production that John Middleton established over a century ago.
Why Choose Black & Mild Cherry Blend Cigars?
When selecting a machine-made cigar, consistency is paramount. The cherry blend cigars are celebrated for their uniform construction and reliable draw. Unlike hand-rolled cigars that can vary in density, these are precision-manufactured to ensure that every cigar in your 50-count box performs exactly like the last. The inclusion of the signature plastic tip is another reason for its enduring popularity. The tip provides a comfortable "mouthfeel," prevents the tobacco from unraveling, and ensures a cool, clean draw from start to finish.
Furthermore, the cherry blend cigars are specifically designed for social settings. While some cigars can have a polarizing or heavy scent, the aromatic cherry notes of this blend are often praised for their pleasant, "room-filling" fragrance. It is a scent that evokes nostalgia—reminiscent of old-fashioned pipe shops and cozy lounges. If you enjoy exploring different scent profiles, you might also be interested in our Aromatic Pipe Tobacco Collection, which features similar flavor palettes in various formats.
Flavor Profile and Pairing
The cherry blend cigars are not your typical "candy-flavored" cigar. Instead, they offer a nuanced flavor profile that respects the natural characteristics of the tobacco. Upon the first light, you are greeted with the earthy, nutty undertones of toasted Burley. As the cherry essence warms, it releases a tart sweetness that perfectly complements the creaminess of the Golden Cavendish. The result is a medium-bodied smoke that is neither too harsh nor too light.
The finish is remarkably clean, leaving a lingering hint of dark cherry on the palate without any bitter aftertaste. This makes it an excellent choice for pairing with beverages. Many enthusiasts enjoy these cherry blend cigars alongside a cup of black coffee or a glass of spiced rum, which enhances the fruit notes of the tobacco. For those who prefer fruit-forward profiles in other smoking formats, we recommend browsing our Apple Flavored Tobacco & Nicotine Products for a different take on orchard-inspired blends.

How to Enjoy Your Cherry Blend Cigars
To get the most out of your cherry blend cigars, it is important to smoke them slowly. Because they are filled with pipe tobacco, they are designed to be sipped rather than puffed aggressively. Taking slow, measured draws allows the cherry aromatics to develop fully and prevents the tobacco from burning too hot, which can mask the subtle sweetness of the blend.
While these cigars do not require a humidor for short-term storage thanks to their protective packaging, keeping them in a cool, dark place will help preserve the essential oils in the tobacco. If you are a fan of the convenience offered by this packaging style, you may also enjoy the variety found in our Just Arrived: New Arrivals & Latest Trends section, where we frequently update our inventory with the latest flavored and natural tobacco options.
