Re: What do you older Gorillas Think?
I can tell the ring gauge of a cigar by my sense of smell.

I am not an old guy, but I printed out

and laminated it. It sits on my cooler lid. Helps to identify vitolas.

Very nice. I used to have plastic one similar to that which you could stick cigars into to see what size they were.

Doesn't work real well on box-pressed smokes though...

Re: What do you older Gorillas Think?
One must carry MRN at all times, then you can just do an actual size comparison LOL.


No it looks like a pretty useful tool to have laying around the house

Re: What do you older Gorillas Think?
Pocket change works great as well for guesstimating RG.
Dime is about a 44 RG
Penny is about a 48 RG
Nickel is about a 53 RG
Quarter is about a 60 RG

These aren't my measurements. I read it somewhere, so YMMV.

now that is using your noodle. That would be a whole lot easier than carrying something around all the time. Plus, unless you are doing a review, who needs exact measurements anyways? Thanks Joe.

Have this page printed and sitting on my desk. I mostly use it when doing reviews. I just received one of the templates with holes from tzaddi! Thanks Richard.

Re: What do you older Gorillas Think?
See I am a looser, I have a ruler and a Standard Caliper sitting on my desk for sizing! Haha, I had to clean the capiler though, too many days of metal and automotive use to place it dirty on a clean gar!

Re: What do you older Gorillas Think?
I just eyeball it. I know how certain rings feel in my hand, and length I just gauge by estimating smoking time.
