32 Ring Gauge Cigars

A 32 ring gauge cigar is 12.7 mm thick, or exactly half an inch. Ring gauge is measured in sixty-fourths of an inch, so 32 means 32/64 across. To convert any ring gauge yourself, divide by 64 for inches or multiply by 0.397 for millimetres. For reference: a 38 is 15.1 mm, a 42 is 16.7 mm, a 50 is 19.8 mm, and a 60 is 23.8 mm. Thirty-two is slim cigar territory. At this width you are looking at cigarillos, small panetelas and short formats built for twenty to forty minutes rather than a full evening. Because a thin cigar wraps only a little filler, the wrapper leads: a 32 tastes more of the outer leaf than a thick cigar of the same blend ever will. These suit a coffee break, a drive, or the end of a meal when a robusto is more than the moment needs. Any standard cutter handles a 32 easily, and many slim formats come ready to smoke.
