They are very small (almost like cigarillos) and can be found at pretty much any gas station, drug store, C-store, grocery store, etc. They recently started coming out with flavored Backwoods - but some of them are kind of sketchy. They smoke pretty fast, and are good to chew on IMHO. Personally I like the sweet and aromatic ones.....the new honey flavored ones are good once in a while also.

I think i just might try those out. Im just looking for something to enjoy occasionally, im done with heavy smoking.

tobacco shops
edit: also www.jrcigars.com and www.thompsoncigars.com shipping is pretty fast but it's a good idea to put them in a humidor for 24 hours after they get to you
