Default Re: May be a dumb question, but I gotta ask

I've often thought about this, and if I was a cigar maker I would think that achieving the same profile throughout the line would be my goal. Clearly that is not the case as people tend to find different flavors with different sticks. It just seems like you'd want it to be the same across the board. A bottle of coke takes just like a can of coke.

To me, that's boring. Part of the fun is trying all the different sizes to see which one you like best.

Its the difference between the vitolas that gives each smoker the chance to find the perfect balance for his/her palate. As we are speaking primarily of long filler tobacco, it would be impossible to make each size taste the same as you can only change the blend by adding whole leaves. By homogenizing the tobacco or only using short fillers you could have the same profile across the board, but then you no longer have a premium long filler cigar. Cigars from the same brand will have a similar profile as the tobaccos are from the same bundles, but adding more leaves is bound to change the taste.
