Talk:Swisher Sweets/Archives/2016

Not about the cigar?

This page incorrectly focuses on the Manufacturer instead of the actual product. If anyone with any knowledge on the topic could rewrite/expand the article that'd be great jcreek201 (talk) 00:19, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

In popular culture

Could someone add a section on Swisher Sweets in popular culture? Many rappers including 2Pac, Scarface, Ludacris, Lil' Wyte, UGK, Master P, etc. all mention Swisher Sweets in their lyrics. Also, although maybe not appropriate (and it would be hard to source) Swisher Sweets are very popular for their utilization as a blunt for cannabis smoking. Atlanta800 20:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Add a citation for blunts being popular in homosexual communities. I feel that's just completely incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.160.106.103 (talk) 00:06, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree. There should be a popular culture segment. I mean, look at the logo for the Southern rap duo UGK. It looks like the Swisher Sweets logo. And look at the late Pimp C's logo. Swisher Sweets. Curvebill (talk) 19:04, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Flavors, types, etc.

would be good to have a complete listing of flavors, types, etc. for this brand.

From their new products page:

Goodies cigars (must be another "brand" under the Swisher Sweets name?) Come in Vanilla, Cigarillo size, and a longer lasting Palma size.

Another page lists: Strawberry, Chocolate, Peach, Grape, and Tequila flavored Blunts, Cigarillos, and Tips. Cherry is only available in 5 packs. and Peach not available in tips. --67.34.188.252 (talk) 20:34, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Blunts

Why must every cheap cigar article mention that people use them to smoke weed. Its a little repetitive. It's already mentioned in the cannabis smoking article. Kjmic25 (talk) 04:26, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Snoop smoked one a Grape Swisher on Comedy Central's roast of Donald Trump, which was watched by 3.5 million viewers. Here he is opening it and here a few seconds later he is smoking it. Pop On The Pop reports on the cigar lighting [1] (although it doesn't mention the brand). But I think this gives credence to the argument that this brand itself has at least been a part of pop culture, so perhaps the editors should not be so quick to tell people that it doesn't warrant mentioning, and challenge the people that want it mentioned to find a reliable citation that backs up the claim.

About blunts, the importance

Wikipedia is not bias and any knowledge relative and important to swisher sweets should be included (even if the topic in the article has appeared in other articles similar-referring to the complaint above about repetition). Every article is independent. That being said, with the right sources of information, swisher sweets for the use of cannabis smoking needs to be in this article. There is simply too many people that use Swisher Sweets specifically for that purpose and I'm positive there is even sources of info that can support even going as far as saying majority of their profits go to blunt smoking. There should at least be a mention of its popularity in the cannabis community in some sort of pop-culture section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.Reifer (talk • contribs) 08:38, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

I agree. Swisher Sweets seems to have "gone critical" in terms of culture. I'm certain that references can be found to how popular they are for marijuana cigarettes, or even just how popular they are within cannabis culture itself. Just keep looking for some reliable sources of information regarding the culture. If none can be found, then none can be found. But it would be good to work on our research skills anyway. A claim is made, this time about Swisher Sweets and cannabis culture, so you can look for references to the truth of the claim and then demonstrate convincingly that the claim is true (or conversely, that no reliable sources could be found). Searching for references to something about a subculture can be challenging though. SmallEditsForLife (talk) 19:33, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
