Cutting
There are many types of cigars. They are differentiated according to
their length, thickness and shape. A cigar, whose body is cylindrically
rolled, is called ‘parejo’, on the other hand the
‘figurado’ is a cigar with a body of diverse thickness.
At the end the cigar is cut in the exact length as its envisaged type.
Most types of cigars have a special name; here for example is a cutting
machine employed for the length of a Corona, which has a diameter of
16.67 mm (‘Ring size 42’) and a length of 142 mm.
There are however, no common binding rules for different types of
cigars, with time these have developed from different brands of
companies. The most popular cigar types with their average sizes are:
