Why do cigars come in different shapes and sizes?
Cigars are not just a simple smoke, it’s a muthafuckin’ an experience, a luxury, and a ritual. And like any luxury item, there are many different options to choose from. But with so many options, it can be overwhelming to know which cigar is right for you. That's why we're here to do our best and break down the different types of cigars and help guide you to the promise land.
First, let's start with the basics. There are two main types of cigars: handmade and machine-made. Handmade cigars are made by skilled, god-like artisans using traditional methods, while machine- SkyNet-ish made cigars are made with the help of machines. Handmade cigars are generally considered to be of higher quality and have a more complex flavor profile.
Next, we have the different shapes and sizes of cigars. The shape and size of a cigar can greatly affect the smoking experience. The two most common shapes are the Parejo and the Figurado. Parejos are the classic cigar shape, with a straight body and round head. Figurados are more unique, with a tapered or pointed head. As for size, cigars are measured in inches and ring gauge (the diameter of the cigar measured in 64th of an inch). A longer cigar will typically have a cooler and slower burn, while a shorter cigar will have a hotter and quicker burn.
Now, let's talk about the guts or different types of tobacco used in cigars. The three main types of tobacco used in cigars are the filler, the binder, and the wrapper. The filler is the tobacco that makes up the bulk of the cigar and provides the majority of the flavor. The binder is the tobacco that holds the filler together, and the wrapper is the tobacco that covers the cigar. Different types of tobacco can come from different regions, each with their own unique flavor profile, and that can have a big impact on the final cigar taste.
So, which cigar is right for you? Well, that depends on your personal preferences. Are you a beginner smoker looking for a milder option? Try a Connecticut shade wrapper cigar. Are you a seasoned smoker looking for something with a bolder flavor? Try a Nicaraguan cigar. Are you feeling adventurous? Try a cigar blended with a unique tobacco variety like Cameroon or a flavored cigar.
In conclusion, when it comes to choosing a cigar, it's all about personal preference. Each type of cigar offers a unique flavor and smoking experience, so it's important to experiment and find the one that's perfect for you. Just remember to cut, light and enjoy it properly. And most importantly, always smoke responsibly and do your best to share a good smoke and convo.
