After a 5-day period of smoking their own preferred brand of cigarillos, participants will begin a 15-day experimental period when they will be randomized to one of two conditions, 2 cigarillos per pack versus 4 cigarillos per pack, to examine how quantity per pack affects use patterns, including daily consumption and cigar smoking topography.Masking: Single (Participant)Masking Description: Participants will be informed that they will be supplied with study cigarillos, but will be unaware of their randomization condition, 2 cigarillos per pack versus 4 cigarillos per pack.Primary Purpose: Other

This laboratory-based study will aim to enroll 50 current cigarillo users to complete a 20-day, randomized, parallel design protocol. After a 5-day period of smoking their own preferred brand of cigarillos, participants will begin a 15-day experimental period when they will be randomized to one of two conditions, 2 cigarillos per pack versus 4 cigarillos per pack, to examine how quantity per pack affects use patterns, including daily consumption and cigar smoking topography. Participants will be asked to attend 2 in-person sessions on Days 5 and 20. On Days 0, 9, 12 and 16 participants will complete sessions with research staff remotely (i.e. by phone or video call). Sessions will occur every 3-5 days, for a total of 6 sessions across 20 days.
