There are three main types of cigars: parejo, figurado, and cigarillos. Parejos are the most popular type of cigar and feature a cylindrical shape with an even burn throughout. Figurados have more complex shapes like tapered or pyramid-like ends, which results in different burning characteristics throughout the smoke. Cigarillos are smaller than traditional cigars and generally contain less tobacco, making them ideal for those who prefer a quicker smoke.
