But what are the different cigar sizes? We find out.
What Are the Different Crux Cigar Sizes?
Cigars are measured by their length in inches and diameter, referred to as the “ring gauge.” A ring gauge is measured in 1/64th of an inch units, so a 32-ring gauge cigar is 32/64 inches in diameter.
If you’ve noticed specific terms repeated after a cigar’s name, then you’re probably looking at the name given for cigars of different sizes.
Robusto
This is the cigar everyone pictures; if you see a cigar smoker in a movie, chances are they’ve chosen a Robusto. It’s the most popular size in the United States, measuring 4 ¾ to 5 ½ inches long and a 48 to 52 ring gauge. It’s a medium sized cigar, preferred by aficionados.

Corona
The Corona is the yardstick by which other cigars are measured. Traditionally, Coronas are between 51/2 to 6 inches long with a ring gauge of 42 to 44. Also a popular size, the Coronas are more accessible to new cigar smokers as they’re smaller than other styles.
