Help a noob out - Cigar Shapes

1. youre not a noob!

2. The first two are completely different than the bottom two (which are similar). All are Figurados though (oddly shaped)

Belicoso has a head tapered to a point. The body is an even cylinder. (Similar looking to a Pyramid which gradually tapers from foot to head)

Perfecto has a tapered head, fatter body, and a tapered foot. This cigar always reminds me of the cigars smoked in cartoons like Dumbo.

Diademas and Solomones are interchangeable except for the size I believe

Party Solomone

Punch Diademas Extra

After looking for these pics, it appears that the factory name for Solomones and Diademas are "Perfectos". I always think of the La Auroras when I hear perfecto, but I can understand the confusion.

I wish I had saved the links.... I could point out sites that all had the same pic of the Perfecto by all the names. "Reputable" sites that are big enough one should be able to trust the info on it. Figurado is the only term I was abble to figure out

You a noob? Perish the thought! In fact, there are about as many different ways to describe a cigar size as there are manufacturers of cigars. It seems esp. the Cuban brands have there own names for different sizes. It WILL drive you nuts after a while. Best thing, I guess, is to just try to remember the traditional sizes, and what's large and what's small. There is a vendor that allows you to search by size- there are close to fifty size designations represented!

Thanks for the write up and pics. To me the Perfecto and Diamedas are the same with the Diamedas just longer. I could swear I saw a cigar called a Solomone that had the shape of the Perfecto (I'll see if I can find it). And then I am looking at both CC and NC sites which really seems to make more mud of the water and dirt. I think I shall just call them cigars
