Trouble identifying Fab5 cigars, made a cheat sheet

[messymerlion]

As the title suggests, I recently picked up the Fab5 sampler, and after their “mandatory” 30-day hibernation, I could not tell who's who (my fault for throwing them all together without proper organization). I quickly grew tired of holding two cigars in one hand and two info sheets in the other, so I made my own printable cheat sheet. Posting it here for anyone who shares my struggles.

The perfectionist in me insists on making everything look overly official, even when it’s for personal use. I already ran this by @El Presidente, but please let me know if anything should be removed/amended. I’ve uploaded two versions: a standard letter-size document for our friends in the Americas, and one in the greatest piece of stationery ever created by mankind, the A4 paper.

These PDFs are designed to print at 100% scale, but your printing results may vary depending on your hardware, software, mood of your printer, moon phase, star alignment, etc. So far, I’ve had success with two different printers. Do not “fit to paper” or “shrink to fit”. Trust the process. I’ve included everything up to the Lonsdale, and I’ll continue updating this once the new vitolas are released.

Here is a picture with the longest ruler I have at home and the most perfect Canonazo (6" x 52) I had on hand. The top-down camera angles don't do it justice due to lens compression, so I've included some close-ups too.

Incredible. I too threw all my Fab5 cigars in the nudidor together and measuring them with a tape measurer to identify certain cigars. This is Gold. You sir, deserve a medal. Thanks for this!

I haven't even finished reading this post and can tell your OCDness will fit in well 😂

When I first started smoking them, I wanted a Queen Corona. Thought I had one, smoked it, enjoyed it, and then got really confused the next time I went through them because it appeared as though I still had both from the sampler. Turns out I had the Spada Gorda. 

Anyway, very nice work on those PDFs. I appreciate great attention to detail like that!

This is awesome, thank you!

One glaring mistake in your write up. A4 is garbage, 8.5X11 is the Lord’s preferred paper size. I’m sure you’ll see the light and correct the error of your ways 😉

This is amazing! God bless you, you magnificent perfectionist!

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you!!

8.5x11 is, in fact, better than A4. Every time I use A4 I think about how I’d rather be using US letter size. Though A4 is way better than US Legal size. THAT is an abomination.
