A figurado whose head tapers to a short rounded point rather than a sharp one, traditionally on a corona-lengthbody. Most modern examples fall under the Cuban galera size Campanas, 140 mm by 52.
Why it matters
A blunter headcuts more forgivingly than a torpedo point and leaves a wider draw channel, so belicosos are the easier of the pointed formats to smoke well.
In context
"Cut the belicoso just below the shoulder or you will open it too wide."
