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 puts more of the wrapper in every puff, 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.
