The wrapper won't change the shape, but it will change the flavor...

the shape will also change the flavor.

would anybody care to compare and contrast the different tobaccos from different countries. i dont think my pallette would be able to pik them up right now so tasting them wouldnt help me out.

You lose me there. I don't understand how the same tobacco in the same wrapper, just rolled in a different shape could possibly change the flavor...

Big Dan

haha good point actually idk like the torpedo would make sense and same would a corona and a robust bcuz the more tobacco you pack in there the stronger it will be also you will pick up more of the other flavor and tastes in the cigar by the variety and the amount of leaves. like its kind of the same principal as how a master roller can purposely change the flavor throughout different points of a cigar bcuz he knows which leaves and blends will change the flavor.

for some sizes it may be the wrapper/filler ratio since it is usually the wrapper that drives the main flavor. if it is longer then the flavors will develop differently as it is smoked. sizes can also effect the temperature of the burn which can cause the flavors to change. this is just a brief explaination though. kuzi included a good link above that should define it more.

The shape changes the flavor by restricting the amount of leaves that you can put into the cigar, of certain areas of a cigar. A perfecto will develop more complexity while you are smoking it because of the fact that it will be tapered on both ends. And i haven't smoked any really weird shapes (Drew Estate has some interesting ones) But i'm sure that is the same concept. It's all about what can fit inside of your stick.

the link that kuzi left is excellent i read the whole thing like three times picking out the points of intrest and i still have to figure out which countrys tobacco appeals to me the most but that may take sum trial and error

Now you're speaking my language a little better :-D. That makes more sense but there are a couple things I'm not sure about at this point, but I'm sure if I read through it again when I haven't JUST gotten up and everything is still fuzzy it'll make more sense.

so why isnt the filler to wrapper ratio posted on the information for the cigar on ccom? or any other site?

haha i should have thought about that. the smaller the gauge the more the wrapper has an effect duhh right. and hell ya to relaxin and smoking a cigar haha i dont always have time i only get a few days a week to smoke and i nvr have time on the weekends so i try to learn as much as possible for now. wat i need is a big as humidor to fill
