"While smoking a cigar, we are in the presence of eternity. The tobacco reminds us of the earth, from which it and we came. As with ourselves, the life of some cigars are short, while others last a while longer, but in the end all are consumed. But the smoke, ah, the smoke! The smoke drifts gently heavenward on its quest to combine with the great eternal oneness." -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).
