A "perfecto" is a type of cigar that is encompassed inside the cigar class of "figurado".
From MRN: Perfecto
Cigar Slang
Referring to a cigar that is tapered at both ends...
"Perfecto is usually a large cigar and it tapers from the centre towards each end"
(Page 348)
From MRN: Figurado
Refers to any cigars which are not of the parejo shape
Includes Torpedoes,
Perfectos
(Page 150)
The Cigar Aficionado Pocket Guide agrees
Actually looking at the cigar it is more of a "Diadema"
From CA Pocket Guide: Diademas
A Ture Torpedo
The head and foot on this cigar are both closed.
It is usually 8 inches or longer...
It has a ring gauge of 40 at the head and 52 to 54 or even larger, at the foot.
I would say it is a "Diadema"
Although the lengths and RG's are off the shape and look are dead on.
See page 114-115 of MRN for comparison picks or page 22-23 of CA Pocket Guide for their pics.
