Cigars come in many different sizes and shapes. Some are straight-sided cigars (parejos), but there are also several unusually shaped cigars (figurados), including Pyramids and Torpedoes.
Cigar size is measured in terms of diameter and length. Diameter is designated in "ring gauge," a measurement divided into a 64th of an inch (or centimeters). A cigar with a ring gauge of 42, for example, has a diameter of 42/64ths of an inch. Length is measured in inches.
One of the things you will notice is that there is no correspondence between the size of a cigar and its flavor and strength. A Churchill made by different producers will taste completely different. A small cigar can be strong and a big cigar can be mild. Choose according to the occasion and the temperament of the smoker.
