Shop Cigars by Vitola
New to cigars? A cigar's size and shape (what cigar makers call its vitola) changes more than how it looks. Its length, its thickness (called ring gauge) and whether it's straight-sided or tapered all affect how it draws, how long it lasts and how concentrated the flavor feels from first light to the last third. The shapes below run from smallest to largest overall. Tap one to shop our full in-stock selection. Order by 3 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, and it ships the same day, nationwide.

Vitola Shopping FAQ
What does vitola mean for a cigar?
Vitola refers to a cigar's shape and size, its length, ring gauge, and whether it's straight-sided or tapered. Vitola affects burn time, how concentrated the draw feels, and how the flavor develops from the first third to the last.
What's the difference between a Torpedo and a Belicoso?
Both taper to a point at the head, but a Torpedo's taper is sharper and more pronounced, while a Belicoso has a shorter, more rounded taper. Both require a careful cut before lighting, but the Belicoso is generally considered the easier of the two to cut evenly.
Which cigar shape should I start with?
A Robusto or Toro is the safest starting point since most brands treat them as their standard size, and they're widely available across strengths and wrappers. Take our Cigar Finder Quiz if you'd like a personalized recommendation.
