Hamlet is a well known brand among smoking aficionados- indeed nearly everyone who regularly smokes cigarillos has at least tried a Hamlet... some like them, some do not. Speaking as someone who is not a huge fan of regular Hamlets (actually I did smoke them regularly for about a month before I realised I preferred rollies without filters to Hamlets), I would recommend trying the Hamlet Fine Aroma.
The Hamlet Fine Aroma is aromatic, unlike its more familiar cousin, and we found this helps subdue the dryness that one would expect of a regular Hamlet. Of course, when something is aromatic, there are additives which are most certainly less good for you than pure tobacco. Although it had a slightly sweeter and more flavoursome smoke, featuring vanilla tones, the cigarillos were still quite brittle and dry, due to being a medium-loose pack of short filler.
Give them a try- at least they are quite cheap!

I like Hamlet Fine Aroma, but don't see them anywhere in the shops any more. Do you know who stocks them these days?
