Black & Mild's have been around since 1980

The Black and Mild cigar was actually launched in 1980, and it's been popular ever since with the popularity of cigars growing, some would say even more so. It came two years after Black & Mild pipe tobacco was launched. What's interesting is there are even wiki's on how to remove the paper filter part of the Black & Mild cigar which some feel makes it a better smoke that give you the step by step directions on how to do it with no loss of the actual tobacco...
