What Are The Different Styles And Sizes Of Cigars?

Any cigar smoker has seen a wide variety of cigar styles and sizes

, whether they have first-hand experience or have simply peeked into the window of a tobacco shop. Size and style of cigar greatly determine what kind of smoking experience you will have. As an example, taste will be one factor determined by the style and size of your cigar as will the smoke temperature that results as you draw and puff the cigar. Have a little knowledge regarding the variety of styles and sizes of cigars can greatly enhance the experience you have a cigar smoker.

Variations in Style

Cylindrical - This is the most widely used cigar style. This style of cigar allows for the even flow of air through the body of the cigar. This style is also the easiest to manufacture and is offered by most cigar makers. Generally, the cap on this style of cigar is rounded.

Torpedo - Less common than the cylindrical style, the torpedo is the another style of cigar. There is a more focused flow of air though the body of the cigar thanks to the tapered end. The torpedo style uses a funnel end that is commonly found at the head, or cap. However some cigar companies put the funnel at the let end, or foot.

Size Variations

You need to know how the size affects the experience of the cigar before you decide to light it up. The selection of cigar size will contribute to many varying factors in your smoking experience.

Length - Providing a 'cooler' smoke, longer cigars are often preferred. Longer cigars also typically provide a smoother taste and lack the harshness that can often be associated with shorter cigar sizes.

Diameter -Ring gauge (diameter) of a cigar also plays a determining factor. This cigars generally have harsher smoke and will burn at a faster rate. However, a cigar that is wider will generally burn more slowly and will provide a smoother smoking experience.

Remember, also, before you contemplate using your lighter to set your cigar smoldering, longer, fatter cigars are often the most expensive. This is because it takes longer leaves and more of them to create the cigar. In essence, you're paying more because you're getting more.
