Talk:Cigarillo

comment
Three times over, and I still don't get the stub category. Those pharmacology stubs don't look like anything that the cigarillo, which is a type of cigar, would blend in. In lieu of not wanting an edit war, couldn't we just mark it as a stub? --Pedro G. S. Almeida 11:42, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

The grammar on this page was horrible and it was full of useless information about Black and Mild cigarillos. I attempted to clean it up as much as possible. 68.35.201.102 04:07, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

"Cigarillos are a more socially acceptable, economical, and sexually alluring alternative." Really, this looks like it was written by a cigarillo marketing department.

"Cigarillo is also the Spanish word for "Cigarette." Isn't the Spanish word "cigaro," making this a needless comment? I am going to remove this comment. --GlassSandwich 07:00, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Id like to know what happened to the article on Cafe Creme which was linked form this page, I created it and it was deleted a few days later after others had made minor edits but I cant trace who did it. It would be nice before removal that a dsicussion is held rather than someone coming along and taking it off. If there is a good reason and acn tell me fine, but if not its not right. Any Comments? --PrincessBrat 20:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * This is merely a heads-up for other readers of this page, as PrincessBrat knows what follows. As can be seen on the discussion board for the cigar article, the Café Crème article was considered biased, or too reminiscent of appraisal for the brand. I don't think there would be a problem with anyone making it again, but remain objective, stick to the facts, and gather enough info to produce more than a stub.

Euorpean Laws
"As is the case with other tobacco products, cigarillos are a health risk to those who smoke them. In Europe, they are subject to the same laws which require Manufacturers to place a health warning on a percentage of the packaging."

Can we possible get some clarifcation on this. Subject to the same laws as what? Cigarettes? Cigars? All other tobacco products??

72.225.219.80 16:15, 24 April 2007 (UTC) Who smokes 5-10 cigarillos a day? 5-10 a week is enought to fuck you up bad!

How about also posting link to proof of said health risks? Otherwise it's written without justification. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.45.43 (talk) 02:29, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Tax situation outside of USA
I'd suggest to add the tax situation on cigarillos outside the US, as well as the effects this has on the tobacco industry. Example: here in Germany, a pack of ordinary cigarettes by one of the tobacco giants costs between 3.25 € and 4.20 €, depending on the brand. Due to the tobacco taxation, cigarillos are considerably cheaper, so that some crafty tobacco companies have started selling filtered cigarillos wrapped in reconstituted leaf, rather than paper. They are thereby able to sell a product smokable like an ordinary cigarette for around 1 € 88.76.190.33 10:41, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation of cigarillo
I noticed that the intro section specifies different pronunciations for both English and Spanish. However, I have never heard it pronounced "see-gah-ree-loh". Is there a source for this? --clpo13(talk) 04:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree, there is only one pronunciation of this "Spanish" word. As, there is no English version of tortilla, quesadilla, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.25.68 (talk) 06:23, 12 August 2008 (UTC)


 * In the Philippines (a former Spanish colony), cigarillo is a Spanish loanword and is pronounced "see-gah-reel-yoh", but refers to cigarettes. I usually hear it pronounced "sig-ah-rill-o" by most non-Hispanics here in the USA.--Wambeter (talk) 10:24, 18 February 2009 (UTC)


 * There are three notable pronunciations, the standard Iberian Spanish with the "th" sound, the Latin American with the "s" sound, and the English borrowing of the word with the "s" sound and an English "l" instead of the Spanish sound for "ll". You have to remember that we are talking here about what are technically two words - one is a Spanish word meaning "cigarette", and the other is an English word that derives from the Spanish meaning a small cigar. The English word follows English pronunciation, because it is an *English* word. --86.163.124.59 (talk) 01:20, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

contested statements removed

 * Cigarillos also usually contain fewer additives (though often more than large cigars).
 * In Europe, cigarillos and thin panatelas (a long slender cigar) are relatively more popular with female smokers.  One reason may be that it is still socially unacceptable, or at least surprising, to see women smoke larger cigars.
 * Some states have no tax on cigarillos.

Gas station brands?
The brands listed here are sexually unattractive. Popular or not, non-tobacco additives/fillers, wrapped in brown paper, capped with plastic tips and filters are extremely bad examples of a cigarillo... unless you'd list SpaghettiOs under "spaghetti". These examples also contradict the statement "cigarrillos (mispelled, multiple times) are wrapped not in paper but in whole-leaf tobacco". Swisher uses brown paper = disqualified. The Spanish translation is "little cigar". There's a reason such gas station brands are not mentioned under "cigar", they simply do not qualify. How about detailing products from real cigar makers, that at the very least, use 100% tobacco. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.25.68 (talk) 06:16, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

"are not meant to be inhaled" - not sure, if true for cigarillos made only to trick us flavored cigarettes ban, like djarum
