Cigars in All
Shapes and Sizes.
There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of different types of
cigars out there. Trying to figure out which one is best for you
or that you would like the flavor of the most can be truly
confusing and a time consuming process. Doing the process of
elimination works, however you may find more cigars you do not
like, before you find the cigars that you do like. However, there
are few things you should know about cigars first that may help
you decide which cigar is right for you.
First, there are two main categories that are very broad, but do
describe two different types of cigars. They are parejos and
figurados. Parejos are cigars that are straight, regardless of the
length. This type of cigar is straight and has three categories
underneath it. They are coronas, panatelas, and lonsdales. The
most common of these three are the coronas; every brand of cigar
available out there usually offers a corona. They are usually
shorter and fatter than other cigars and have a rounded head.
Coronas are smoked by many people because they are not as long as
the other two styles and do not take as long to get through.
Panatelas are longer coronas, but thinner. They also come in
different flavors and strengths. These usually take a little
longer to smoke due to the length. The last ones, lonsdales are
longer than coronas, but even thinner than panatelas. These ones
too come in different strengths and flavors, but take about the
same amount of time to smoke.
The other category is figurados. Figurados have an irregular
shape; sometimes they are hand rolled and are not straight like
parejos. There are three dub-categories under figurados and they
come in different flavors and strengths too. The first category is
the belicoso cigars. These have a large foot and a small, rounded
head. These are pretty small, but necessarily skinny, they can
still be a very fat cigar to smoke, but do not usually take too
long to get through. Then there is the pyramid figurado cigar.
These are literally shaped similar to a pyramid; they have a
pointed head and then taper down to a large foot. Pyramid cigars
are usually pretty large, they also take a very long time to smoke
due to their length and how fat they are. The last one is one of
the largest cigars available and may also be known as giant cigars
and they are diademas. These are eight inches long or longer and
take a long time to smoke because of their length. They come in
different circumferences though.
These are some of the basics you should know before buying cigars.
However, if you have questions any store owner will actually know
quite a bit about cigars and can usually recommend one that you
will like by description and personal preferences.
