Any recommendations for cigarillos? I smoke primarily aromatic pipe tobacco. TIA

They're all inferior, in my opinion, to "real" cigars. I can't justify the price of premium cigarillo sized cigars. They don't taste like anything special. That's not to say I don't smoke small cigars; I've smoked Garcia Vega Miniatures for decades. They taste OK upon lighting, then go south quickly. About par for the breed. That's OK for a hot day in summer, about the only time I ever want one.

Wait. There's Toscano. They're kind of tasty. Hmm...

Honestly Black and Milds aren't bad.. If you can get past the people saying they're cheap crap, and you like aromatic pipe tobacco. Only drawback is that small amount of pipe tobacco within cost 10 cents in a pipe and 1.25 in a Black and Mild. That bothers my frugal side...

yeah they're not bad in that kind of doesn't take much to enjoy something better type of way. They certainly aren't terrible.
 
Excalibur Cigarillo Tin (10 tins of 20)

I don't have any idea which of these words is the brand, but I really like these... even though the branding is stupid.

Everything Danneman makes except for the Moods, imo, except if you smoke aromatic pipe, you'd probably like the Moods.

Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur. Normally, I avoid non-cubans that bear a Cuban name, but the Excalibur is the one line I make an exception for. Maybe it's nostalgia, but the maduro-wrapped ones are very complex and satisfying.

For your criteria, I have a strong, unyielding preference for the following:

1)Various Cuban clubs, cigarillos. The Montecristo yellow box above are my favorite.

2) Liga Privada T52 coronets (super amazing).

Seeing you like aromatic tobacco, Drew Estate has cigarillos in their Acid line. I like the RyJ cigarillos, dunno if these are available to you.
You can still get the RyJ mini blue and white at smokingpipes. Those are both pretty good for little guys.
