[[File:Cigarshapes1.svg|thumb|upright|The parejo is the easiest and least expensive common cigar shape to produce]]

Irregularly shaped cigars are known as ''figurados'' and are often priced higher than generally similar sized ''parejos'' of a like combination of tobaccos because they are more difficult to make.

Historically, especially during the 19th century, ''figurados'' were the most popular shapes, but by the 1930s they had fallen out of fashion and all but disappeared.
They have recently received a small resurgence in popularity, and currently many manufacturers produce ''figurados'' alongside the simpler ''parejos''. The Cuban cigar brand [[Cuaba (cigar brand)|Cuaba]] only has ''figurados'' in their range.

''Figurados'' include the following:

In practice, the terms Torpedo and Pyramid are often used interchangeably, even among knowledgeable cigar smokers. Min Ron Nee, the Hong Kong-based cigar expert whose work ''An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Post-Revolution Havana Cigars'' is generally considered to be the definitive work on cigars and cigar terms,{{citation needed|date=March 2018}} defines Torpedo as "cigar slang". Nee regards the majority usage of torpedoes as pyramids by another name as acceptable.{{citation needed|date=March 2018}}

[[Arturo Fuente]], a large cigar manufacturer based in the Dominican Republic, has also manufactured figurados in exotic shapes ranging from chili peppers to baseball bats and American footballs. They are highly collectible and extremely expensive, when available to the public.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.cigars.com/article/cigar-shapes-and-sizes|title=Cigar Shapes and Sizes|last=Inc.|first=cigar.com|work=cigars.com|access-date=12 September 2018}}</ref>
