A Tiparillo is a shorter, thinner, and milder cigar with a plastic tip. It is manufactured by the General Cigar Company.[1] The name Tiparillo, a portmanteau of tip and cigarillo, was trademarked on July 3, 1961 by the Pinkerton Tobacco Company of Owensboro, Kentucky.[2]
Postwar cigar makers had begun seeking to transform the image of their product to attract young smokers[3] and women [4] who preferred cigarettes.
Heavily advertised in the media, the most famous campaigns and taglines were "Should a gentleman offer a lady a Tiparillo?" and a cigarette girl offering "Cigars, Cigarettes, Tiparillos".
