Some things you need to know about cigar sizes
-
The name of a cigar is a guide to its size. But of course, there could be variations from country to country.
-
There is few thing about cigar size you need to remember:
-
The bigger the ring gauge of the cigar, the cooler is the smoke;
-
The longer the cigar, the purer it tastes. You do not puff as hard on a long, big ring gauge cigar and the result is lower temperature. This is the reason that you will see 50+ ring gauge cigars in almost every brand name.
-
All cigars here are quoted with length in millimetres and inches and ring gauge for diameter.
-
The ring gauge is measured in 1/64 inch.
-
Thus a cigar of gauge 32 has a diameter of 1/2 inch - about 12mm.
-
Please note that cigars may vary in size due to changes in moisture content.
