I see. Thanks. Yah, what I'm looking for is a little different. I think what you're talking about is the cigarillos wrapped in the tobacco leaf. What I'm looking for is actually the paper-wrapped cigarette, but filled with fine black tobacco. They're basically just cigarettes, but they taste a hell of a lot better than anything American, because they're made out of cigar tobacco. Cohiba makes them, and calls them "cigarrillos negros" or black cigarette; "black" referring to the cigar tobacco. Romeo y Julieta also makes them and just calls them cigarrillos. I believe the difference is the spelling. Cigarillo is a small cigar. Cigarrillo is a cigarette. I've only ever seen Cuban "black cigarettes". I'm really curious to find out if they make this sort of thing in the Dominican Republic, or somewhere else importable that I could get a hold of. But either way, they must not be widely produced, because they sure seem to be hard to find :)
