Dark Matter eLiquid
Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.
Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.
Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Cigar Size and Shape
By: Alan King
Cigars are categorized by size and shape. Together, these are known as the vitola of a cigar.
Cigar size is measured two ways: ring gauge (its diameter) and its length. For example, most non-Cuban robustos have a ring gauge of approximately 50 and a length of approximately 5 inches. Robustos of Cuban origin always have a ring gauge of 50 and a length of 4 inches.
The most common shape is the parejo. It has a cylindrical body, straight sides, one open end, and a round tobacco-leaf "cap" on the other end that must be sliced off in order to be smoked.
Parejos are designated by the following terms:
- Coronas
- Rothschilds (4 ½" x 50), after the Rothschild family
- Robusto (4 ?" x 50)
- Hermosos No. 4 (5" x 48)
- Mareva/Petit Corona (5 ?" x 42)
- Corona (5 ½" x 42)
- Corona Gorda (5 ?" x 46)
- Toro (6" x 50)
- Corona Grande (6 ?" x 42)
- Cervantes/Lonsdale (6 ½" x 42), named for Hugh Cecil Lowther, 5th Earl of Lonsdale
- Dalia (6 ¾" x 43)
- Julieta, also known as Churchill (7" x 47), named for Sir Winston Churchill Prominente/Double Corona (7 ?" x 49)
- Presidente (8" x 50)
- Gran Corona ("A") (9 ¼" x 47)
- Panatelas – longer and generally thinner than Coronas
- Small Panatela (5" x 33)
- Carlota (5 ?" x 35)
- Short Panatela (5" x 38)
- Slim Panatela (6" x 34.9)
- Panatela (6" x 38)
- Deliciados/Laguito No. 1 (7 ¼" x 38)
Irregularly shaped cigars are known as figurados and are more difficult to make, leading many to consider them higher quality cigars. During the 19th century, figurados were the most popular shapes; however, they have since fallen out of fashion and all but disappeared.
Figurados include the following:
- Torpedo – Like a parejo except that the cap is pointed.
- Pyramid – Broad foot and evenly narrows to a pointed cap.
- Perfecto – A caricature of a cigar, narrow at both ends and bulged in the middle.
- Presidente/Diadema – Shaped like a parejo but considered a figurado because of its enormous size and occasional closed foot akin to a perfecto.
- Culebras – An exotic of three long, pointed cigars braided together.
- Tuscanian - Typical Italian cigar. This shape, known as a cheroot, is the largest selling cigar shape in the United States.
Whatever shape or size you prefer, a variety of cigars can be found online at fine purveyors’ websites.
