Etymology
The term 'swisher' derives from the brand name 'Swisher Sweets,' which was established in 1856 by the Swisher family in the United States. Initially, the family business focused on producing handmade cigars, which eventually evolved into machine-made cigars that could be mass-produced at a lower cost. The brand gained popularity in the 20th century, particularly due to its sweetened flavoring and affordable pricing. Over the years, 'Swisher' has become a colloquial term for these flavored cigars, especially among young smokers and cannabis users. The usage of the term increased alongside the rise of the hip-hop culture and the recreational use of marijuana, further embedding 'Swisher' in everyday slang associated with smoking. Today, Swisher Sweets is one of the leading brands in the flavored cigar market, maintaining a strong presence in urban environments and among younger consumers.
