A rustic cigar is a "cheroot." In cigar lingo, the straight-sided tubular cigar is a "parejo" while the uneven "torpedo" or stubby, oversized "bellicosos" and similar unusual shapes are "figurados." Once upon a time, a "stogie" was a thin, inexpensive cigar, often with a twisted end... Eventually, of course, the name became a term for all cigars, frequently by people who are put off by the habit!
