Jon. When are the criollo's supposed to hit stores in SoCal? I keep checking, and checking, and checking (beginning to feel the Everready bunny)without any success.

Does anyone know the answer to the question. I have the bands also but no clue on the question...

" In the May/June 2000 issue of Cigar Aficionado Magazine, which CAO Cigar outscored the following Cuban cigars in the Figurado size tasting?
Bolivar Belicoso Fino (CUBA)
Sancho Panza Belicoso (CUBA)
Cohiba Millennium Reserve Piramide (CUBA)
Romeo Y Julieta Belicoso (CUBA) "

I think I figured it out but CA lists it as a torpedo not a figurado that threw me off track for a little while.

Do I have the right one slim??

Technically ... a Torpedo is 'pointed' at both ends, so you are right in saying it is a little misleading.

Figurado and Belicoso usually mean that the foot is cut, with only one pointed end ...

... it's the only one listed for May/June 2000, so I would venture to say that you are correct!

Slimboli:"Torpedo is 'pointed' at both ends"

I thought that was a perfecto?

Figurado
A Spanish term that refers to cigars with shapes sizes, such as Belicosos, Torpedos, Pyramids, Perfectos and Culebras.

Torpedo
A cigar shape that features a closed foot, a pointed head and a bulge in the middle

Pyramid (or Pyramide)
A sharply tapered cigar with a wide, open foot and a closed head.

Perfecto
A distinctive cigar shape that is closed at both ends, with a rounded head; usually with a bulge in the middle.

digdug77 --- you answered your own question.

A Figurado usually refers to all sizes of that shape, but a Torpedo is pointed at both ends, and a Belicoso has a cut foot.

The perfecto is exactly what you said ... and the cap is usually 'rounded' (with the exception of the La Habana perfecto and I'm sure a few more). A very good example of a traditional perfecto shape would be the Hemingway Short Story, Best Seller and the Work of Art ... with the fattest part being near the foot with a 'nipple' on the end you light.
