Cigarillo means little cigar in Spanish, and is a tobacco filled cigar that is wrapped in a tobacco leaf, but is sized considerably smaller than the typical cigar. My favorite little cigars are Al Capone Cigars. They have a great flavor and are not too harsh. Because cigarillos are so small, some are even smaller than a standard cigarette, the cigarillo can be enjoyed in a slightly different way than the larger cigars. I think that the cigarillo is a little easier to smoke because the tip is already removed, so no cutting is necessary and they are so small that I can enjoy them anywhere I go.  At least where smoking is allowed. I began smoking cigarillos about 5 years ago.  I was a cigarette smoker and one day, I just wanted to try something new.  I tried other cigarillos but have found that my favorite are the Capones.  When I talk with people about them, some who have tried them really like them, but some also really dislike them. I am not sure if I just get a different flavor than some of my friends because I have never thought they tasted stale or bad.  I have tried a larger size cigar as well, but they seem to last to long for me.  I like to smoke on my way to work, or after dinner and having a whole cigar seems to be a bit much for me. Although the flavor is great, I don’t have time to smoke on one cigar for an hour. Cigarettes don’t have the great flavor that the Al Capone Cigars have, and I wouldn’t think of switching back to them ever.

I have smoked Macanudo Cigars for years now, and read that they came from Jamaica. That appeared unusual becauce I can’t say I have heard much about Jamaican tobacco. Allegedly, Cuban immigrants brought tobacco seeds to Jamaica, as they did every where else they moved to. But due to hurricanes, work issues and war, it’s been a troublesome road for the Jamaican tobacco plant. Macanudo, which came from Jamaica is now home made by General Cigar Company, located in Connecticut. They create quality, high end, premium cigars, including Macanudo. They use their own Connecticut shade wrappers, and various tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Africa for the filler and binder. These are my favourite cigars for lots of reasons, I love the sweet but spicy flavor. They are strong, but not overwhelming. I can smoke once per day and be satisfied. There are just a few known Jamaican cigars around nowadays, and they appear tough to come by. If the others taste as well as a Macanudo, I may switch, except for now I’m sticking to what I adore.
