I've noticed that different vitolas within the same line have different ratings some times, and have been wondering why. I understand there is a difference between a lancero and a corona because of the different ratios of filler to wrapper, and also between say a robusto and a churchill because the filler might be arranged differently thus effecting the blend. I'm talking strictly about the effect of shape upon the smoke. For example, LP#9 both the parejo and belicoso have the same length, ring gauge, and I assume the same blend, yet are given different ratings by the same magazine. Can this really be caused simply by the shape of the head?
Shoot it to me straight. Is this all just a personal liking for a specific vitola, or does shape effect the smoke, and if so, how?
