What Is The Ring Gauge Of A Cigar?

 A ring gauge is simply a measurement of a cigars diameter in inches, 64/64ths being the same as an inch. Measuring in the one-inch range or higher, any cigar that has a ring gauge of 60 and above is going to be a mighty smoking machine. A cigar with a larger ring gauge will be fuller, complex flavor, and produce a larger amount of smoke than one with a smaller ring gauge. 

A cigar with a thicker ring gauge will probably have cooler smoke because there is more air that can get in. If you find smoking one cigar takes too long, or you often find that you cannot finish the smoking session, it may be an idea to try a smaller-ring gauge cig. That mass of tobacco within is always going to be hit harder, so be sure to smoke larger ring gauges slower than normal in order to avoid smoking through your cigars perspiration. 

Think of it like this, if 1/16th of an inch is 1 ring gauge, a 60-ring gauge is nearly an inch thick -- it is a big cigar. All you really need to know is that cigars are classified based on length, as well as by ring gauge, which is the fraction of an inch measured in 64ths. The former number is the length of the cigar, measured in inches; the latter is the ring gauge, or thickness of the cigar, measured in sixty-fourths of an inch. As a point of reference, included below is a chart of ring gauge sizes, showing the most common sizes that you will find on todays cigars. 

The good news is Cigar talk is pretty straight forward once you understand that the length (how long) and the ring gauge (how wide) constitute a size or a general type of cigar (e.g., Corona). Whether you are a beginner in the cigar world, or looking to try something new, understanding the cigars size, length, and ring gauge is the foundational way of finding the right smokiness for your persona. If you are a cigar newbie, you might have noticed cigars come in different sizes and shapes, and smokers devote varying amounts of time to the type of cigars they smoke. 

Their Coronas typically range from about 5.5-6 inches and range from a ring gauge between 40-46. Finck Cigars does not use these types of gauges anymore when measuring cigars, they use a device that has several different ring sizes, so one unit can measure any cigar. This piece has a notch which will measure the length, and through it is middle is a ring which measures the cigars diameter, called ring gauge. 

In addition to strength and flavor, many cigar lovers choose specific ring gauges for the way the cigar feels in their mouths and hands. The same blend of cigars at different sizes will have varying flavors, sometimes drastically, due to the difference in the size of the rings and the length. When approaching smaller cigars, thinner sizes are generally much warmer, which can lead to pungent or bitter flavors. Some cigar fans actually prefer thin-gauge cigars, as this means that there is less filler tobacco. More
