Cigar Size & Shape Infographic

[stogiesontherocks]

Hey guys I'm not sure if I put this is in the right subsection, but I just wanted to share this infographic > http://www.stogiesontherocks.com/article/cigar-size-and-shape-chart/ < I created it myself and tried to make it as close to scale as possible. I know I've left off some common cigar sizes. I was hoping I could get some input from you all to help me figure out which ones I missed. So if you have any suggestions please copy the part below and add your suggestoins in red font so I can update this infographic! Thanks everyone.

Sizes
1. Lancero (any one know exact specs on this?)

Shapes
A lot of shapes out there and its hard to pin them down, but suggestions are welcomed!

very cool looking infographic! the burn time is debatable, dependant on personal smoking habits and rate of burn of the specific cigars (some just burn quicker or longer), and there are a whole host of odd figurados out there almost made to intentionally break any classification, but i would find this useful.

would suggest you add salamon, one of the iconic cigar size/shapes.

and when you are done, can i get that in a men's xl? o)

There's a lot of info on these sites if you haven't already seen them:

Yeah several people have made comments about the burn time. I'm going to have to edit that. Personally I'm a slow smoker so thats why I put a lot of those in there. But it might be something best left off.

Salamon! Great suggestion thanks.

Mens XL huh? Well I'm going to first work on a poster then a T shirt how does that sound?

 

[stogiesontherocks]

Thanks PMD! I got a lot of the info from Wikipedia/Cigars, but I'll def check those sites out as well!

Tobaconist University has charts for both traditional Americal Market and CC which you may find useful http://www.tobacconistuniversity.org/tobacco-college/apm-shapes4.asp

I typically see Robustos as 5x50...but that's not the big thing I see odd about your chart. It looks like you have 40 mins for the burn time...while a Toro, which is 6x50, has 1hr and 50 mins burn time. One extra inch, or so, takes 70 mins to smoke? Doesn't make sense.

 

[stogiesontherocks]

Yeah ... I should have done myself a favor and left off the burn times

 

[Kawliga]

Great chart! Burn times will be tough to quantify as everyone smokes different... maybe you could find a more objective form of measurement to use on the right hand side of the chart? Or maybe you could compare/contrast American and Cuban vitolas?

 

[stogiesontherocks]

Yeah I think thats why I put the smoke times down b/c the chart felt empty on that side. Thanks for the Feedback Kawliga

 

[Gravity]

Awesome chart!

Yea, the burn times is very hard to list. I've had a Robusto that took me nearly 3 hours to get through, and another that burned away in 35 minutes. *shrugs* Not only are the smokers different, but each cigar is different. I'm loving the chart though, I will have to get the poster once you're done with it.

 

[stogiesontherocks]

Thanks man! I actually went and got posters priced on my lunch break b/c I've had a lot of people ask about them. So I'm working on that this weekend. I'm pretty excited about it Def removing the smoke times though. Thanks for the feedback.

A traditional lancero is 7 1/2 x 38, though most seem to make them anywhere from 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 inches and 38-42 ring gauge nowadays.

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 ?

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

 

[wooly472]

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?

 

[njstone]

^ 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.
