Cigar 101 noob question

[hed]

I have since smoked a box of the Partagas Naturales. The only physical difference between them and the Robusto was 1", but they tasted very different. Still good, just different. I was hoping they would taste like the Robustos with an extra inch of smoke time.

I'm a bit confused with some of the lingo though. On the FSS website, the Partagas Robusto are referred to as Rothschild, and the Naturales are referred to as Toro.

I'm assuming that may be what what badwhale was referring to.

Yep. Some manufacturers even make up their own names for each vitola in a line, rather than using classic vitola names.

Forget the names.....use the numbers.
