Freaking[edit]

To good to be true Black and Milds are often "freaked" which is a process where people remove the inner ("cancer") paper. This is done by removing the tobacco from the cigar, usually into the plastic wrapper that it comes in, removing the "cancer paper" and then replacing the tobacco. Sometimes marijuana is used as a substitute. In some instances the bottom portion of the plastic tip is lightly burned(usually by using a lighter)melting the cigar and tip together creating a greater pull of smoke per puff...i only smoked not kids should never smoke black and milds any kind of tobacco

  • we need to find out what the "cancer paper" really is. Does it contain extra nicotine? Does it contain "helper" chemicals that allow your body to more quickly absorb nicotine? or is it chemically inert, just there for structural support?
I'm wondering why the main article doesn't include the act of freaking a Black. It is a huge subculuture whereever these are sold, and greatly changes the taste of the cigar. Maybe someone can find some sources for this and put it in again? I'll try when I have the time. Music&&Power.. (talk) 19:43, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

brand listing bulleted list?[edit]

It would be great to get the cigarilla types in a bulleted list. But sadly, I don't know of all of them.

  • Regular (may be called "Original" too?)
  • Wine (Also in wood tip)
  • Cherry
  • Apple
  • Vanilla (now discontinued? re-placed with/by Creme?)
  • Cream
  • Mild (yes, Black & Mild Mild does sound weird, but it is a flavor)
  • FilterTip (noted as FT on the package)
  • Woodtip (New! according to the packaging, this is a strange one, since all others are named after scents/tastes, but "Woodtip" is essentially a "wood-tipped cigar" (rather than plastic, on the others) which has a pine taste to it)
  • Fastbreak (again, I think this is a "newer" release, and isn't named after a "flavor" or scent, but simply "Fastbreak" on the package - intended for a quick smoke break - in which one wouldn't have time to finish a whole cigar. they are about half the size of a regular B&M, including the traditional plastic tip. I heard rumor that the Fastbreak does come in "Wine" flavor, essentially called "FastBreak Wine" but I've yet to come across it locally. Though I did find a site that lists fastbreak in mild and apple flavor...).
  • Gold & Mild (I have seen these but never smoked one. Not sure what it is exactly, maybe another flavor or perhaps a high-end version) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Asod001 (talk • contribs) 18:31, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's gotta be more?

Since the other cigarette/cigar brand pages have list of products, I don't see why this article shouldn't too.

Also, another note, I've found that the package dones a message something of "Filler is 100% Pipe Tobacco" - but, then on the other "edge" of the package, there's a message that says "These cigars are predominantly Natural tobacco with non-tobacco ingredients added"? I questioned a "smoke shop" website, and the way they described it, is the cigar is a big tissue roll. The tissue roll is not tobacco, but the "filler" within that tissue roll (the wrapper) is 100% pipe tobacco and supposidely - that is what those seemingly "contradictory" messages mean...lol.

Maybe this information/suggestions would be of use to someone? :) --67.34.188.252 (talk) 18:38, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

i think pipe tobacco is tobacco plus some chemicals for flavoring, i tend to believe the 'regular' version is straight tobacco, i don't like them though —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.107.1.165 (talk) 20:30, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]


The entire body section is stolen directly from an Associated Press article found here: [1]. Plagiarism, anyone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.186.150.165 (talk) 15:26, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TBH[edit]

I don't know anyone who buys these and doesn't use them to smoke weed. Lenerd (talk) 20:20, 22 May 2010 (UTC) I dont smoke weed and enjoy the black and mild wine wood tip quite often[reply]

I do! (And do not smoke weed.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.15.254.121 (talk) 18:52, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly!!! My teen son has them in his car. For WEED. Who the heck smokes cheap cigars? So it's quite obvious this company is catering to Potheads. Put it in your pipe and smoke it...Old School Ruled. Though I don't use anymore....:) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.231.121 (talk) 22:29, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Most people I know use other cheap cigars (phillies, dutch, swishers) for weed. I know one guy who smokes these like cigarettes. and I know one guy who uses these to make the best blunt you've ever smoked. Asod001 (talk) 18:38, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a silly assertion and doesn't really belong on Wikipedia or on the talk page. I'll say that I've tried to use these in a pinch for pot smoking, but they aren't good for it. No one is really buying these to fill with pot, unless they are just not good at simple pot smoking. I do, however, smoke at least a pack of these a day (judgments incoming, I'm sure...) - and while they might go nicely after some doping, that's different. Simply, Black & Milds are not the same as other "blunts", more than anything because of the paper used and the fact that the tobacco in the cigar is much higher quality and not meant to be discarded like in the case of the Philie or Swisher brands (I'd estimate those two contain about 5% wood chips!). And to the mother who knows her son is using these to smoke dope... talk to him straight on about this, don't come here, actually try and stop his drug use. Yes, I enjoy pot, but you are a parent and that's your job (unless you condone it, which is groovy and all that) 74.83.198.177 (talk) 08:26, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I switched to black and miles after smoking Marlboro cigs for years. I find them more satisfying then cigarettes with no additives no tar no formaldehyde . If I found black and milds first I would have never smoked a cigarette plus one black and mild will last me all day and most of the night. Also tried njoy elec cigs but the made me feel sick. An D I don't smoke weed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.122.200 (talk) 05:24, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I smoke weed as well as "Black and Milds", but I have never rolled a Black and Mild blunt nor have I seen or heard of anyone doing so. The most commonly used "cigars" for rolling blunts, at least in the Baltimore area, are Dutchmaster Cigarillos, followed by Game, and then a few other more obscure brands. Nobody I know ever uses tipped cigars (by that I mean cigars with a plastic/wood tip) for smoking weed. In my experience, black and Milds are most often smoked by young and/or poor people who don't want (or can't afford) cigarettes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.15.136.227 (talk) 04:02, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
