What's the difference between a small cigar and a cigarette?

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.

Years ago (decades really) I read that cigarettes were invented to make use of the trimmings left over from the cigar-making process. The inventor never expected the waste-based product to take off.

I wish I could cite a source for you, but I would have read it on paper so source could have been anything from book to newspaper.
