title: Factory name
text: # Factory name
  
  In Cuban cigar production, the factory name or vitola de galera is a standard name given to the size of the cigar across all manufacturers.
  
  Each cigar has a factory name and a model name. The model names are up to the individual manufacturer, some simply use the factory name, but as you see in the example below, some choose a different name, and may have one or more cigars of the same size, but may all have different names.
  
  For example, the Emininentes (see coronas table below) is currently produced by two brands or manufacturers, H. Upmann and Partagas. H.Upmann sells it as 'Corona Major' and Partagas has two models in that size, the 'Coronas Senior' and the 'Petit Coronas Especiales' , but regardless of manufacturer or model name, all three are Emininentes and are exactly the same size and shape.
  
  Outside Cuba most manufacturers, especially those established by Cuban exiles after the revolution, adhered to the Cuban factory-name system into the 1970s, but since then have introduced their own vitolas and naming, without any systemization across the industry.
  
  ## Factory Names and Sizes

  ## Figurados
  
  Figurados are cigars that do not have straight sides, but are irregularly shaped, and have their own factory names, regardless of size. (For more information see Cigar Size and shapes)
  
  Below is a list of factory names for the figurados, with 'Perfectos'(cigars that narrow at both ends) marked with a '‡'. As above, shapes not currently in production, are marked with a '*'.
