Umbrellas, British, and hand-made cigarettes? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brollies

'umbrellas' is the definition.
(brolly is an informal term for an umbrella)

'british and hand-made cigarettes?' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'hand-made cigarettes?' becomes 'rollies' (cigarettes rolled by the smoker).
'b'+'rollies'='BROLLIES'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
