Cigar Names

I have to admit, I get kind of annoyed when companies come up with their own unique names for cigars when they don't tell you what they really are. I've seen some good comments about La Vieja Habana cigars, so I was looking at some on CI. I guess I'm just being ignorant, but I thought a belicoso was a torpedo shape, right? So, what the Hell is a "Bombero"? Anyone know? I didn't seen them on T25C, either, so I'm still confused. They're both listed as 6x54. Is this one a toro fattie? Just call things what they are. Damn.

Re: Cigar Names

belicoso, torpedo, piramide, most of the No. 2's, basically the same thing. then the companies like to make up their own names. they should pick one name for each size.

i have heard alot of people at work ask for a macanudo churchill.

yea but they are called prince phillip.

well what i had was a macanudo churchill. do you have any macanudo robustos.

yea but they are called lords.

not what i had.

very confusing.
