OKLAHOMA CITY – Cigarillos, a small type of cigar, have dramatically risen in popularity, particularly those that come in flavors, such as cherry or chocolate. Some state and local laws have banned all flavored cigars, and the Food and Drug Administration has announced its intention for a federal ban. In response, the tobacco industry has introduced “concept” flavors – products with ambiguous names like “Ocean Breeze” or “Jazz” with no explicit flavor name, thereby evading any bans and subverting regulations. Sales of concept cigarillos have increased in areas where bans on flavored cigarillos exist, suggesting consumers may be switching to these products.
