Imperial vs Metric Measurement of Cigars

[Guest Elektrobot]

In the online store, it looks like the cigars length is given in mm's, but what units are used for the ring gauge? I'm used to seeing the ring given in 64th's of an inch- but don't know if the same carries over here-

Also, are all CC's officially measured in metric units, or is it up to the preference of the retailer to decide how they are listed?

Thanks for any input.

Yep, just checked, ring gauge is in 64ths of an inch on the czar website.

Cuba officially uses the metric system. IIRC Habanos SA always give the imperial measures in parentheses.

For what it's worth, when you find a site that lists mm only, divide the mm measurement by

25.4 to get the measurement in inches.
