Cigar Size & Shape Infographic

Listen, man, I realize that the smoke time is hard to pinpoint, and there are soo many variables tth account for. But I think its a great graphic. I think keeping the smoke times would be a great resource for newer smokers, give them an idea of how long some common sticks might last (ish). Maybe if you label it as "average" or "expected" smoke time? But great job any way you cut it.

Thanks wooly! Maybe I'll make some adjustments to it and play around with average smoke times. I mean, I doubt Michelangelo would go and mess with the Sistine Chapel after he finished it, right ?

this. also want the t shirt still!

HAHAHAHA Ok man I'll talk to my friend that works at a screenprinter and see what a short run would cost.

Yea, but then again I think michelangelo was smoking something stronger than a Macanudo debenture he paintd the sitine chapel. I mean flying, naked cherubs? C'mon?

^ pretty sure he was blind by then. Too much painting the ceiling will do that, so I hear.

I think its great! I'd leave the burn times on, as someone else stated, and change it to approx time (your results may vary). Let us know when the posters are ready, as I'd like to order at least three.

Back on topic:

It's YOUR graphic, so do what you want. But if I were making one, I'd make a few modifications:

--Add a Lancero (7.5 x 38)
--Add a Petite Robusto (4 x 50)
--Add the term "A" to the Gran Corona vitola
--A robusto is typically 5 x 50, not 48
--A Churchil is technically 7 x 48, not 50

As to smoking times, I agree that it varries from blend to blend. But an "in general" smoking time might be helpful to some people.

If you keep the smoking times, I think it needs to be seriously modified. Most people would say a robusto takes about an hour on average (based on polls I've seen). And just because a cigar is longer doesn't mean it will burn for a longer time! Ring guage has a big roll to play in burn times. A lot of NUB-style cigars burn for quite a while (like the short & fat LFD DL ... That sucker is 4" and smokes for 90 minutes).

Great addition njstone! Thanks for the help. I was working on updating the graphic this morning. So I'll make sure and add these in there. It is 'my grahpic', but I want it to help everyone. So I appreciate all input from everyone.
