A good way to decided on the shape and size of a cigar is how well it feels in your hand, although the size does not relate to anything except for personal preference. Sometimes the color will have an effect on how the cigar will taste overall. As a rule of thumb darker tobacco has a tendency of being stronger in flavor.
