Cigarillo

A cigarillo (from Spanish cigarrillo 'cigarette'; in turn from cigarro 'cigar' and -illo (diminutive suffix); pronounced [siɣaˈriʝo] in parts of Latin America, [θiɣaˈriʎo] in Spain) is a short, narrow cigar.

[citation needed] In the United Kingdom, common consumer brands include Henri Wintermans Signature (formerly Café Creme) and Hamlets.

In the United States, they include Swisher Sweets, Black & Mild, Backwoods, Dutch Masters, Garcia Y Vega, Game, Optimo, Good Times, and Phillies.

[4] In Brazil, Uruguay, Canada, Australia, India, and throughout Europe they are subject to the same laws which require manufacturers to place a health warning on a portion of each package.

As a result of this, it is often assumed that cigarillos are a healthier alternative to cigarettes,[citation needed] but health authorities around the world still warn smokers of the risk they pose due to smoke being in the mouth.
