A favorite of the fringes!
—Company slogan
Smoky Fringe Tobacco Company was a Corellian company that manufactured cigarillos and chewing tobacco. It became a subsidiary of Incom Corporation in 27 BBY.
Smoky Fringe's cigarillos consisted of a plastic or wooden flared mouth piece attached to which was flavored tobacco wrapped in mechanically-prepared paper.
History[]
Although headquartered on Corellia, the company's cigarillos were almost exclusively found in the Outer Rim, where they were popular among merchants, pirates, and Mandalorian insurgents in the years leading up to the Clone Wars. After their purchase by Incom, the company also partnered with the Republic Judicial Forces, who distributed them to their troopers in their ration packs, earning their product the nickname of "Judy cigs". Eventually the Republic/Empire stopped putting tobacco in their soldiers' rations by the time of the Clone Wars, and as such the company began gradually losing business until they ultimately shut down in 2 ABY.
Behind the scenes[]
Smoky Fringe Tobacco Company's cigarillos are based on the low-cost "Black n' Mild" cigarillos found in the United States of America.
