Black and Mild is a pipe tobacco cigar brand, produced by John Middleton, Inc., a tobacco company in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.

Black and Milds are filled with pipe tobacco. They can come with a plastic tip, untipped, or in a shorter version called a Fast Break Black and Mild which is about half of the size of a regular Black and Mild. They are shaped like a cigarillo. According to the United States Government Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they are the preferred cigar of young Americans at 56%[1]. The Black and Mild five pack are the top selling cigar package in the U.S., as of September 2004 according to ACNielsen.[2]

The Black & Mild is most popular in Whittier California. Middleton Cigars who produce Black and Mild also provide numerous different flavors, including Black and Mild Mild, Black and Mild Apple, Black and Mild FT Filter Tip, and the recently introduced Black and Mild Cream, and Black and Mild Wine.
