What is Cigarillo?

Cigarillos are a smaller, thinner version of traditional cigars, designed for a quicker smoke. Typically, they are about the size of a cigarette, making them a popular choice for those who enjoy the taste of a cigar but don’t have the time to indulge in a full-sized one. Cigarillos are often machine-made, though some premium brands offer hand-rolled versions. They are usually made with a blend of short filler tobacco, and unlike regular cigars, cigarillos often do not require cutting before smoking. Due to their smaller size, cigarillos tend to be stronger and more concentrated in flavor, delivering a quick, intense smoke. They are popular in Europe and Latin America, often sold in packs, and are sometimes flavored to appeal to a wider audience. Despite their size, cigarillos should not be inhaled like cigarettes; they are meant to be smoked slowly, drawing the smoke into the mouth to savor the flavor.
