Parejos are the same width at both ends, meaning they have the same diameter over the entire length of the cigar \u2013 they make up the vast majority of all cigars. Figurados, on the other hand, taper to a point at one end or both ends (double figurado).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For these shapes, there are several terms: a Double Figurado was often previously called a Perfecto, and a Figurado was called a Pyramid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The term \u201etorpedo\u201c was historically used for both variants. However, after the revolution from 1960 onwards, 'torpedo' was mostly used for pyramids \u2013 an inaccurate usage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally, the term torpedo denotes an underwater weapon whose body tapers to a point on both sides.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"529\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OOC-Zigarren-Parejo-Figurado.jpg\" alt=\"On the left, a Parejo, a cigar with the same diameter along its entire length.

According to the reports of the Spanish Jesuit Bartolom\u00e9 Cobo, the Ta\u00edno used the word during a smoke ceremony. They continuously murmured \u00abcuaba, cuaba\u00bb to themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this ceremony, branches of Amyris balsamifera, also known as West Indian sandalwood, were burned. It is a very aromatic and extremely flammable wood. This tree belongs to the citrus family and is not, as one might think, a sandalwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With these branches, the Taino then lit their rolled tobacco leaves \u2013 the Cohiba. However, whether Cuaba is the designation for this \u00abfirebrand\u00bb or a designation for the ceremony or an invocation, for example, cannot be clearly answered. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"936\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OOC-Cuaba-0-Logo-3.jpg\" alt=\"Here the origin of the word Cuaba is explained: \u201eCuaba, Cuaba!

After that, this shape became increasingly rare. Hardly any cigars of this type have been produced since the 1970s. Reasons for this include the demanding manufacturing process.
