Cigar

Shapes and sub-shapes

Based on their shape, cigars can be divided into two groups – Figurado and Parejo. Parejo cigars have the same ring gauge from head to foot. In comparison: Figurado cigars are thinner at one or both ends. Figurados come in the following five sub-shapes: Belicoso (cigar with the same ring gauge, tapered at the head/foot); Torpedo (like the Belicoso, but more tapered); Piramides (tapered evenly from head to foot); Perfecto (tapered at both ends); and Culebras (three intertwined cigars).
