It's 1/2" short of a lancero according to this chart I found.

Well, there it is. Being half an inch short makes it look wider, relatively speaking.
Although cigar shape charts feel authoritative, the named dimensions of cigars vary wildly by manufacturer. Every few years, a creative marketeer invents yet a new name to throw in there. Those named after famous cigar smokers seldom reflect the size of cigar regularly smoked by that honored person, and often conflict with a similarly named cigar from a different manufacturer.

I have noticed there are no hardline standards for vitolas, but the charts are useful as generalizations. That said, at the end of the day they're all just Parejos and Figurados (arguably), haha.

You know what's frustrating? This ugly ass short filler I just rolled tastes better than my last 4 recipes, but it's made with all the same tobaccos.

In my experience short filled cigars have binder and wrapper leaf incorporated into the mix, which tends to produce a more flavorful cigar.

A tale of two stogies. The first one was an abject failure and the second one was a qualified success. The first started tunneling immediately, so it was like smoking ASP ligero puro . It was tasty but utterly unsmokable. I had overcased the filler. I made both seeing how far I could push the density and still smoke. The second one was made on a different day and feels like a brick and has very tight draw but smokes beautifully; the ash is tenacious enough to survive me wending around the city operating the signal stalk and wheel.
ASP, Corojo viso, seco, binder and wrapper. Rich, tasty smoke.

Very stylish. The stitching on your car arm rest matches the stitching on your jeans.

Thanks, Bob. Most people don’t notice that I carefully coordinate my wardrobe with my transportation. My bicycles are very colourful so wear a clown costume when ride.

Honestly don’t know. Just did a google search for “old man” to search for images.

Today's pair of Sweet Rum gars, not five minutes old:
They're sitting atop Maks' home-made two-busto mold. It's my fave; not for shape, but for handy and for handiwork.
Once these lose their damp, they lose their blotches, and will look like so:
Satisfactory all around.
