You are absolutely correct. They just look bad ass!815DC wrote: ↑Thu Sep 06, 2018 1:42 pmShape is a gimmick in cigars. There was perfectos and box (square pressed) cigars. Extreme square pressing resulting in the wafer looking cigars Rocky and Acid put out. Alec Bradley put out a cigar that was triangular. The soft square press popularly used in the Oval of San Lotano.
Are new shapes cool? Yes. Do they change the flavor of a cigar? No clue. Can they affect how a cigar smokes? I think so. The shape shown will actually round out as it heats up leaving the smoker with something not quite round and not quite angular.
Just my 2 cents

That "Gordo" is the default rank for someone with between 250-500 posts. It's one of the vitolas that designate our progression....and I hadn't ever come up with a specialized rank for you. Congrats. You just got one
