Lonsdale Cigars

A lonsdale is a long, slender cigar that splits the difference between a corona and a lancero. It typically runs about 6.5 inches by a 42 to 44 ring gauge, longer than a corona but just as thin, which gives you an extended smoke that still leans on the wrapper for flavor. The slim shape burns a little slower and cooler than a fat ring gauge, and it carries a vintage, refined character that suits smokers who appreciate the classic vitolas. Lonsdales are less common than they once were, so the ones below are worth a look if you favor an elegant, traditional format.
