50 Ring Gauge Cigars
A 50 ring gauge cigar is 19.8 mm thick, or 0.78 inches. Ring gauge is measured in sixty-fourths of an inch, so 50 means 50/64 across. To convert any ring gauge yourself, divide by 64 for inches or multiply by 0.397 for millimetres.
For reference: a 52 is 20.6 mm, a 54 is 21.4 mm, a 56 is 22.2 mm, a 60 is 23.8 mm, and a 64 is a full inch at 25.4 mm.
Fifty is the most common ring gauge in premium cigars and the reference thickness for the two most popular shapes, the robusto at 5 x 50 and the toro at 6 x 50. It balances wrapper against filler evenly, so the blend tastes the way it was designed to, with the wrapper’s spice still clearly present.
A 50 fits every standard cutter and sits comfortably in the hand. If you are new to cigars, this is the thickness to start with. Our ring gauge guide explains how thickness changes the way a cigar smokes.
