Cigar Sizes

Cigars come in different lengths and thicknesses, from thick guage, as much as an inch in diameter, to thin guage,a slender 1/2 inch. To arrive at an understanding of a cigar diameter divide the ring size by 64, thus a ring size of 64 divided by 64 would be 1 inch in diameter or 32 divided by 64 would be a half inch diameter.

What guage should I purchase? Well obviously personal preference is the major criteria, however as a rule of thumb, if your draw is hearty a wider guage cigar is recommended. A more slender cigar will present with a harsh flavour, as the extra oxygen will cause your cigar to smoulder at a higher temperature. The result will be a lesser appreciation of the nuances of flavour and aroma.

In order to assist you in your selection we have listed brands by cigar size and category. For example under the thick guage category 'Gran Corona' produced by the Montecristo and Sancho Panza brands.
