cigarillos

     

A cigarrillo (Spanish for "cigarette", pronounce "see-gah-ree-yoh" in Spanish and "see-gah-ree-loh" in English) is a short, narrow cigar. Unlike cigarettes, cigarrillos are wrapped not in paper but in whole-leaf tobacco. Cigarrillos can be found for purchase alone or in packs, and are sometimes made without filters. The filtered cigarillos are sometimes called "little cigars". Unlike a cigarette, they are not meant to be inhaled but rather smoked like a cigar.
