Common questions
What does ring gauge mean?
The diameter of a cigar measured in 64ths of an inch. A 50 ring gauge cigar is 50/64 of an inch (about 19.8 mm) across.
Is a bigger ring gauge stronger?
Not necessarily. A bigger ring gauge holds more filler, which can change the balance and makes the cigar smoke cooler and longer, but strength depends on the blend.
