Cigar Basics 101: Lonsdale

Lonsdale Cigars Detailed Introduction🏰🚬

What are Lonsdale Cigars? 👑

The Lonsdale cigar is a classic medium-long cigar, named after London's famous Lonsdale Street, a symbol of British elegance and taste. It measures approximately 6.5 inches (165 mm) in length and has a narrow ring gauge of approximately 42-44. This ensures that the Lonsdale cigar maintains the richness of the tobacco while remaining flexible and light, making it a popular medium-length choice among cigar lovers.
