Are torpedoes more "desirable?"

Binder/Filler/Wrapper ratio plays a big part in flavor IMO and the smaller sticks are without question a better ratio than the big ones.

Isn't this description more about "size" than about "shape, D?

In the OP, I should have used what I think is the more appropriate, technical term "vitola."

So, it should have been Does the vitola of the cigar affect the flavor THAT much?

In this case, I mean vitola to refer to the combination of both size and shape. So, Darrell was really answering the question I intended, but failed to ask properly.

Isn't size and shape relative especially in this case?

Belicosos and Torpedos come in different lengths and RGs, so it could have been different issues, My Brother.

Ah true enough. I always forget that.

Torpedos "look" better in a catalog, especially to newbies.
