"There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision, and for whom the lighting of every cigar, the drinking of every cup, the time of rising and going to bed every day, and the beginning of every bit of work, are subjects of express volitional deliberation." -William James
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).
