Small cigars are classified as machine-made cigars that weigh less than 3 grams and use short filler tobacco. They are available in some Cuban cigar brand names. This range includes the Mini, Club, and Puritos.
Before circa 2001, they were produced outside Cuba using 100% Cuban Tobacco. Since then they have been produced in Cuba and therefore can be legally called Cuban cigars.
In circa 2005 mini cigars were taken out of the Habanos range, and are now produced by Internacional Cubana de Tabacos, S.A.
