BBF different ring guages, what's the diff?

[strife]

I've seen the BBF offered in both a 51 and a 52 ring, what gives?

When you say offered do you mean listed as by a vendor? The reason I ask is that according to Trevors sitehttp://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/brand.aspx?brand=Bol|ivar They should be a 52 rg and I can't recall ever seeing an odd numbered rg before.

Probably a missprint by someone other than the manufacturer.

My guess: simple typo.

Completely different smoke, I would highly recommend the 51's. More complex and just a better all around stick.

....or it's a typo :stretchgr

Typo. Also, I think I know what vendor you were looking at. A quick google search showed all but one vendor listing it as 5.5 x 52

rg is a misprint in my opinion. The difference in the listings is the top one is a slide lid box or cabinet, while the bottom one is a dress box.
