Cigarette vs. Cigarillo — What's the Difference?

A cigarette is a narrow cylinder containing burnable material, typically tobacco, that is rolled into thin paper for smoking. Across all forms of tobacco consumption both smoking and nonsmoking cigarettes are the most purchased and consumed tobacco item, creating a multibillion-dollar industry.

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