Black & Mild is a pipe tobacco cigar brand, produced by John Middleton Co., a tobacco company in Limerick, Pennsylvania. As of November 2007, Altria, the parent company of Philip Morris purchased John Middleton, Inc.^[1]

Black & Mild are sold with a plastic or wood tip, filter tip, untipped, or in a shorter version called a Fast Break, which is about half of the size of a regular Black & Mild. They are shaped like a cigarillo.^[2]

Black & Milds are sold in numerous different varieties, including original, Mild, Fastbreak, apple, wine, FT (Filter Tip), wood tip, royale, and cream, which is a replacement of the older, Dutch-style Black & Mild Vanilla.

The company has recently come out with the slogan, "Tastes great! Smells great!" due to the sweet smell produced by the smoke.
