I'm confused, looks like an open foot in the pic for 'torpedo', am I missing something?

It is an open foot, the same as all the others except the Culebra and Perfecto!

Here they are as I have always thought of them.

Pyramid - Tapers continually from head to foot, the foot may be very wide.

Torpedo - Tapers from head to main body of cigar, but is a gradual taper and then parallels.

Belicoso - Tapers from head to main body, but does so very quickly, not quite a rounded head, but very close, and then it parallels.

Perfecto - Tapers at both head and foot. The taper at the foot may be gradual or sharp.

Those look good to me

BELICOSO'S all the way!

I like those definitions. I always think of a Belicosa as being shorter than a Torpedo, and that is the only difference I notice.
