"A fine cigar is like a fine woman. They come in all shapes and sizes. Treat them tenderly and lovingly. Caress their skin, admire their beauty, fondle them with reverence. Bring them slowly to your lips, enjoy their flavor, their aroma. Contemplate their essence, their dependability, and forgive them their weaknesses - if there be any. Revel in the rituals, their simplicity and their enduring meanings. Do these things, my son, and the blessings of life shall always be upon you." -Prince Sined Yar Maharg
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).
