Cuban Cigar Common Names

"Common Names" for cigars is the practice of calling all cigars of a vaguely similar size by the same "common name." They are only used by hobbyists and the non-Cuban cigar industry, and never feature in official materials from Habanos S.A. or Cubatabaco.

The list below is loosely based on Paul Garmirian's 1990 List, but updated and restructured specifically for Cuban cigars.
