When it comes to smoking cigars, those who are in the know make sure that they have the best cigars and the best accessories for their pastime. They want to have the sharpest cutter so they can get a clean cut, they want to have the best torch lighters so they can get a good light every time, and they want to have the best humidor to keep their cigars fresh. They also want to have a great cigar with a taste they love. They are so adept at picking out the various flavors of tobacco, that they can even tell when blends of different size cigars in the same line have differences in taste.

Size is the most important factor when it comes to the reason cigar blends in the same line differ. A smaller cigar, which is shorter and more narrow, will have a different taste than a large cigar in the same line. When you have a smaller cigar, you are going to get more taste of the wrapper for one thing. Also, you will simply not have the same ratio of tobacco to wrapper and binder as you would with a larger cigar unless the manufacturer changes the blends slightly.

You will find that in the larger cigars, even though they might be in the same line, they simply have more of the tobacco than the smaller ones do. You will find that the ratios may vary slightly between the large and the small, and this is something that will account for the difference in taste. Many times the taste difference is subtle, but one who has been smoking cigars for any length of time should be able to pick out the difference.

Take the cigars and cut them open to look at the difference in blends. You are likely going to see more dark tobacco in the larger cigar. Doing this is a good way for you to get a visual that will help you to understand the differences in the blends even though the cigars are from the same line.

As your knowledge grows, you will find that you can tell the difference between the light and the dark tobaccos, and this will help you choose a cigar that you will enjoy. Take some time to experiment with different blends so that you can find the type of cigar that you like the best.
