Frank opened a cigar box. Cuban Cohibas. He pressed one with his index finger and shook his head. "Guy spends four, five hundred bucks a box but doesn't know enough to put them in a humidor." He sighed, thinking about the hours of good smoking shot to hell. - Robert Andrews, from his novel, A Murder of Honor
The images below will give rough visual guidance in helping to determine a size or shape of a particular cigar. Because many computer monitors are displayed at different resolutions, you should print this page out for doing a true comparison of a cigar. NOTE: Some figurado sizes will taper the ring gauge either towards the head (Belicoso or Torpedo), tapers along the entire body (Pyramid), or tapers at both the head and foot (Perfecto).
