There are men here and there to whom the whole of life is like an after-dinner hour with a cigar; easy, pleasant, empty, perhaps enlivened by some fable of strife to be forgotten - before the end is told - even if there happens to be any end to it. - Joseph Conrad
The images below will give rough visual guidance in helping to determine a size or shape of a particular cigar. Because many computer monitors are displayed at different resolutions, you should print this page out for doing a true comparison of a cigar. NOTE: Some figurado sizes will taper the ring gauge either towards the head (Belicoso or Torpedo), tapers along the entire body (Pyramid), or tapers at both the head and foot (Perfecto).
