Anyone who has ever seen a humidor standing open, like a vast treasure vault, knows that cigars come in many different styles and sizes. Unlike many other things in life, both of these factors will have a singular effect on your enjoyment. For instance, the style and size of the cigar you choose will affect the taste of the cigar, the harshness of the smoke and even the temperature of the smoke you draw in from the cigar. Knowing a bit about the different cigar styles and sizes will help you know which you want to put your lighter to for your enjoyment.
Style Variations
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 - The second type of cigar style is the torpedo. These are less common than cylindrical cigars, but provide a more focused airflow through the body, thanks to the tapered end. The torpedo shape features a funnel end, usually placed at the head (the cap), though some manufacturers place it at the foot, (the lit end).
Size Variations
When you apply torch lighters to cigars, you need to know how size affects your enjoyment. The size of the cigar you choose will influence many different factors about your smoke.
Length - Simply because they generally provide a cooler smoke and are somewhat milder, longer cigars are preferred by many. Unlike shorter cigars, longer cigars often lack harshness and are usually smoother tasting.
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.
Fatter cigars are often priced higher. This is something to remember when contemplating adding to your collection. The higher cost is, obviously, a result in the increased tobacco leaves required to produce a larger cigar. All in all, the price increase is a result of getting more cigar.
