One way to size a cigar is to describe its diameter using its ring size.
The number given for a cigar's ring size is the diameter of the cigar in 1/64th (0.015625) of an inch.
A variety of templates were created to cover the entire spectrum of cigars (typically from 20 to 64).
circumference of a cigar in inches =
= PI() * (diameter in inches)
The ring size of a cigar stub can be helpful in determining the type of cigar.
