Pyramid Cigars

A pyramid is one of the most striking figurados, tapering steadily from a wide foot up to a narrow, pointed head. It usually runs about 6 to 7 inches, with a ring gauge near 54 at the foot narrowing toward the top. That changing shape is part of the appeal: as the burn moves from the wide end toward the point, the proportion of the blend’s leaves shifts, so the flavor can evolve in a way a straight cigar’s cannot. Pyramids are eye-catching and reward a slow smoke. Browse the pyramids below for a figurado that changes as it burns.
