Gordo cigars

The thickest format we stock, and a New World invention rather than a Cuban one. Very wide cigars hold a lot of filler, which lets a blender use more leaf varieties in one cigar.

Dimensions152 × 23.8 mm
Length6.0 in
Ring gauge58–64
Smoking time80–110 min
Also calledGigante

The large diameter keeps the ember cool over a long smoke. Some find the draw too easy and the wrapper too faint at this width; it is a divisive size.

For how this size compares with the others, see the guide to cigar sizes.
