The move to small cigars and roll-your-own cigarettes is a national trend. The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that states have lost $5 billion a year because people are using alternatives that have no state retail cigarette tax.

What's the difference between a small cigar and a cigarette? "Cigarette" literally means "small cigar".

Not much. They're supposedly made from cigar tobacco and rolled in brown paper instead of white. My wife and I smoke them, and besides tasting a whole lot better than 'cigarettes', they only cost us $1.70 a pack.

Cigars and cigarillos are tobacco wrapped in tobacco leaves, cigarettes are tobacco wrapped in paper.
