Figurado cigars require maximum precision when rolling to ensure perfect draw behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-die-funf-unterformate-von-figurado\">The five sub-formats of Figurado<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-belicoso\">1. belicoso:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Equal diameter from foot to head, with a slight taper at the head.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cap is not very pointed and the taper is shorter than on a torpedo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Zigarren-Zen-mit-Akif-Turan-Fernando-Leon-Belicoso-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-perfecto\">2. perfecto:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Both ends are tapered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The narrow end of the cigar foot sometimes makes lighting difficult, although it is said that it would be easier. I don't think it's easier. Rolling a tapered cigar head requires the highest level of craftsmanship. At the beginning, the cigar often burns unevenly because there is less tobacco in the tip. Only when the wider part is reached does the burn stabilise. <strong>However, if the cigar burns evenly right from the start, this is evidence of exceptional care when rolling - the tip has also been provided with sufficient and perfectly placed tobacco.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Davidoff-Winston-Churchill-LE-2022-Perfecto-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-torpedo\">3rd torpedo:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Same diameter from foot to head, but with a more pointed and longer head than the Belicoso.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This VegaFina is incorrectly labelled as a \u201epyramid\u201c, but is in fact a torpedo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/vf_classic_piramide.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-piramides-oder-pyramide\">4. piramides (or pyramid):<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tapers (sometimes almost imperceptibly) from the foot to the head and has a pointed end.
