Swisher Sweets Little Cigars (20-pack).
A filtered, cigarette-sized option for those who want a milder draw and a longer smoke.
Swisher Sweets Little Cigars
Unlike standard cigarillos, Swisher Sweets Little Cigars are filtered and cigarette-sized — roughly the same dimensions as a king-size cigarette. They come in a 20-pack, similar to a standard pack of cigarettes. The filter provides a smoother draw, and the tobacco blend is milder than the full-size cigarillos. Available in select flavors including Grape, Peach, and Sweet Aromatic.
- Price: $3.50–$5.00 per 20-pack
- Size: King-size (roughly 84 mm with filter)
- Filter: Yes (unlike standard cigarillos)
- Availability: Gas stations, convenience stores, and tobacco outlets
Swisher Sweets flavors: the full lineup.
11 flavors available in singles, 2-packs, 5-packs, and boxes. Grape is the most popular — it accounts for roughly 30% of all Swisher Sweets sold.
Popular flavor combos: Grape + Peach (most requested), Blueberry + Tropical Fusion, and Cherry + Strawberry. Diamond and Green Sweets are newer additions, launched in the last few years.
What do Swisher Sweets taste like?
Each flavor has a distinct taste and aroma profile. Here's what to expect from the most popular ones.
Grape
Sweet grape candy aroma — the flavor that made Swisher Sweets famous. The most popular variety, accounting for roughly 30% of all sales. A strong, unmistakable room note that fills the air. If you are trying Swisher for the first time, this is the one most people start with.
Peach
Mellow stone fruit flavor, milder and less sweet than Grape. A smoother smoke with a subtle peach aroma that is not overpowering. Popular among people who find Grape too intense. Pairs well with sweet drinks.
Blueberry
Tart-sweet berry flavor with a strong room note — people nearby will know what you are smoking. The blueberry taste is pronounced but not artificial-tasting. One of the top 3 flavors alongside Grape and Peach at most gas station counters.
Tropical Fusion
Mixed fruit blend with a sweet, punch-like flavor profile. Combines notes of pineapple, mango, and citrus. Lighter and more complex than single-fruit flavors. A good choice for people who want something different from the standard berry/grape options.
Diamond
Smoother and less sweet than the Original Sweets. Diamond was introduced as a milder, more refined option — think of it as a toned-down version of the classic flavor. Good for people who find the standard Sweets lineup too sweet or aromatic.
Green Sweets
Menthol combined with the classic Swisher Sweet sweetness. A cooling sensation on the draw that pairs with the underlying sweet tobacco base. The mint is present but not overwhelming — more balanced than a full menthol cigarette. A newer addition that has grown a loyal following.
What smoking Swisher Sweets costs over time.
One single a day doesn't sound like much — but at $1.25 a day, the annual cost adds up fast.

Swisher Sweets cost ~-154% less than cigarettes per unit

Where to buy Swisher Sweets.
Gas stations, convenience stores, smoke shops, and online retailers — Swisher Sweets are everywhere. But the price and selection depend on where you shop.
Singles are at every gas station — if you need one Swisher Sweet, the nearest corner store probably has it. 5-packs and boxes are at smoke shops — dedicated tobacco retailers carry the full flavor lineup and offer the best per-unit pricing. Online retailers sell boxes — for bulk purchasing, online is where you get true box pricing without convenience-store markup.
Gas stations & convenience stores
The most common place to buy Swisher Sweets. Chains like 7-Eleven, Circle K, Speedway, and Shell carry singles and 5-packs. Expect to pay $1.25–$1.49 per single and $5.50–$7.00 per 5-pack. Prices are higher than smoke shops due to convenience markup.
Smoke shops & tobacco outlets
Dedicated tobacco shops and smoke shops carry the full flavor lineup, often including boxes of 60. Prices are generally lower here — singles may be $1.00–$1.25 and boxes often under the national average. Staff can usually help you find less common flavors.
Online retailers
Websites like Smokea, Lit Cigar Lounge, and other online tobacco retailers sell Swisher Sweets in boxes of 60 — often at or below the average retail price. Some offer subscription discounts or free shipping on orders above a certain amount. Online is where you get true box pricing without the convenience-store markup. Age verification is required at delivery via ID check.
Supermarkets & drugstores
Walmart, Kroger, Walgreens, and CVS carry Swisher Sweets in states where they still sell tobacco products. Selection is usually limited to the top 3–5 flavors (Grape, Peach, Original). Prices are comparable to gas stations. CVS stopped selling tobacco nationwide in 2014, so availability is drugstore-dependent.
