Talk:Cigarillo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] contested statements removed

  • Cigarillos also usually contain fewer additives (though often more than large cigars). {{Fact|date=February 2007}}
  • In Europe, cigarillos and thin panatelas (a long slender cigar) are relatively more popular with female smokers. {{Fact|date=February 2007}} 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. {{Fact|date=February 2007}}
