I've had the pleasure of dealing with Black Swan Shoppe for one of their very rare Peterson pipes and Curtis and Josh were extremely professional, respectful and gracious through the entire process. Not only did they respond promptly, they conveyed a clear level of integrity that is not often seen in businesses nowadays. I highly recommend this shop for not only the amazing products they offer for sale but even more importantly because of the people working there.

Another great experience with Black Swan Shoppe

Another great experience with Black Swan. Curtis was very helpful, sending me photographs of individual pipes to aid my selection. Items arrived safely the next day, well packed and secure.
I have never had anything other than a positive experience with 'The backy shop', and would highly recommend them.

Consistent Quality products, and delivery.

I have used Black Swan for my rolling tobacco for many years, and I can honestly say they have never failed to deliver exactly what I ordered, and within the time scale they claim. Top Shop!!

A real traditional tobacconist with friendly and helpful staff - it has a large range of cigars and tobacco and unlike other cigar stores who claim to be the cheapest by way of “price match” this shop actually is the cheapest! I highly recommend this company

Thank you for such an enthusiastic review. I'm glad we exceeded your expectations. We can't take all the credit, Royal Mail/DPD do the hard bit.

So helpful, one of the best in the business

The guys at the Black Swan are amazing. Always doing their best to help. All lose/bulk tobaccos are as fresh as can be and always a fair price.

Excellent service

Excellent service. Following the delivery of a recent order I noticed a few days later that the wrong variety had been delivered (the first time ever)
I contacted them and within no time they agreed to swap them. I received the product the following day complete with a prepaid label for the return. Outstanding !
Their prices are also very competitive.

Great Service

Ordered a box of Joya de Nicaragua Cuatro Cinco Petite Corona in the afternoon of 05/08/2022 and Black Swan pricing in the UK was the most competitive. Didn't require next day delivery so pleasantly surprised they arrived by Royal Mail the next afternoon! Thank you Black Swan Shoppe Team.

Won't buy again awful product

Not so great service or product, I paid extra for next day delivery and didn't get it for 4/5 days later, most of all the product was no good for me, my backwoods was far to dry, leaf wrapped not the sizes they should be and couldn't unrol like you should be able to with most, my whole pack was dried out not happy I wasted £20 on dry old crappy cigars with less that was too short, child unroll and had holes in them all the worst I have ever come across If you use backwoods to roll up with I would avoid this company otherwise you'll waste a whole pack, ive been using backwood for sometime and my usual buyer I just got more from now they in stock and haven't had no issues like I did with the ones I had from here, I haven't had a whole pack be no good on me ever, until now with this company, I have ever only had 1 or 2 be bad no and again, it's expected but a whole back, never! Just for the record i am a registered medicinal cannabis patient and I use backwoods to roll it up in so I know what to expect, they practically unwrap with ease and are quite large leaf and easy to roll back up, I have experience with this and this pack was not as expected I wasted the whole pack due to holes all over the leaf and not being large enough to use for some reason they was all small with holes and tough to get off, due to this and not getting rhe next day I won't be ordering again and if you medicate the way I do then I wouldn't touch this company for backwoods.
Terrible goods after fuss with delivery.

Hi, I'm very sorry you have had a less than satisfactory experience shopping with us. I have checked your order history and this order was placed at 11pm on a Friday night with a DPD next working day delivery service, as stated when you placed your order, there is no DPD collection on a weekend so your order left here first thing on Monday and was delivered on Tuesday as per the shipping requirements, Our Backwoods come direct from the only officially registered importer in the UK and come direct to them from ITG who manufacture them in the US, as with any product sometimes there can be quality control issues at the manufacturing level and unfortunately sometimes products do not live up to their usual high standard, we pride ourselves on our customer service and if you had contacted us first we would have replaced the product straight away free of charge with free delivery on the return. Normally we would require the faulty ones back but if you send us an email at sales@thebackyshop.co.uk I'm sure we can sort something out for you.
