King Edward

King Edward is a machine-made cigar brand from Swisher, first introduced in 1918 by Jno. H. Swisher & Son. The company moved its headquarters to Jacksonville, Florida in 1923 and was one of the first to use cigar-rolling machines, which kept prices low; by the end of the 1930s King Edward had become the best-selling cigar in the world. Swisher still makes its machine-made cigars in Jacksonville. We stock three sizes, each in packs of five: the Imperial (4¾ x 42), the Specials cigarillo (4¼ x 28) and the Tip Cigarillo (5 x 28).

To choose, go by size and smoking time: the Imperial for a fuller cigar, the Specials for a short smoke, and the Tip Cigarillo for something slim.
