So much terminology.

I've gotten a lot of the foundation down, but I was trying to explain cigars to a non-smoking friend and I realized something: I don't know what you'd call each individual model of cigar. So far that's what I say; model. Doesn't seem right. Anyone have anything better, or more correct?

Thanks,

Harvey

Do you mean the line within a certain brand?

I thought Vitola might be the right term, but I looked it up a while back and found something that said Vitola referred more to the particular shape. Didn't want to mix things up so I stopped saying it.

Thanks guys!

Yes. For instance, the My Father 'Le Bijou'. You'd refer to 'Le Bijou' as the Vitola of the cigar?

Hmhaines wrote:

Le Bijou would be the blend, or series. The size/shape - robusto, corona, churchill, perfecto - is the vitola.

Le Bijou would be the line or blend as others have said while vitola is the size of the cigars within that line.

It's not a distinction everyone will care about, because truly premium cigars do not come in different "lines" or "blends"

Not to be confused with shape which has its' own identifiers, e.g., torpedo vs parejo vs perfecto etc....etc....etc! to quote yul brynner🌫

I believe you are wrong in that all the premium blenders have more then one line or blend example Tatuaje is a label and the lines are Brown, Black, Havana, and series P. My father, has La Antiguedad, las antillas, and el centurion. These are all different blends or lines within a label of premium cigars.
