Cigar judging
Options
Why are cigars of a single brand judged so differently from one size or shape to another? I can understand the burn and draw issues, but the tastes and aromas seem to be reported as different as well. Aren't they using the same tobacco?

Not all the time.... some times different sizes have diffent blends, even within the same brand. Also the shape has a big impact on the way the cigar burns and draws. i.e Smaller cigars with smaller ring gauges will allow you to taste the wrapper leaf "more" than say a robusto or toro. Also taste is subjective and sometimes even mood or situation dependant.

read the entire second page of my "blending 101" thread found in a link in my signature . that should explain a good amount of it.

Has anyone started a thread on the following: Blends that are meant to be the same over different sizes? Blends that are meant to be different over differnent ring sizes?

i dont think so. that would be almost as difficult a task as threads titled: "blends that use honduran tobacco" and "blends that use nicaraguan tobacco"
