Swisher Sweets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Swisher Sweets are manufactured by the Swisher International Group, based in Delaware. The company was founded in 1861 when David Swisher received a small cigar business in settlement of a debt. Back then, cigars were only a sideline for Swisher and his four sons, just one of many notions that they hawked across the Midwest for the “rolling stores” or wagons.
Today, Swisher International Group is a leader in the tobacco business, accounting for one-third of the the United State's cigar sales and is America’s largest cigar exporter.
Swisher Sweet cigars are often simply called "blunts." More recently, this name has become a slang term for "marijuana cigar". Since it is an inexpensive cigar with a tobacco paper leaf, it can be sliced open and re-rolled with other smoking mixtures, including marijuana.
