Belicoso
A figurado format with a short, rounded taper at the head.
The belicoso belongs to the figurado family: the head tapers over a short distance to a rounded point, while the body remains straight. The taper concentrates the smoke and allows the draw to be opened narrower or wider depending on how the cap is cut — a small degree of control that many aficionados appreciate. What distinguishes it from the torpedo is the shorter, rounder taper.
