The tales of Salvador

Very nice present there. Maybe not knowing the age is a good thing, no excuse not to smoke one and see if they?re good to go straight away.

I might be wrong but isn't the only date on the cardboard box holding 5 of these packs?

Yup, guess so. It is for the Robusto's!

Box code should be inside flap

The names of different size and shapes vary greatly, particularly with NCs.

For CCs it is to a certain extend easier - there are two different names for each size, a common name and a factory name. The common name is very loose in terms of dimension and all inter-changeable (so a robusto could fall into different lengths and ring gauges) but the factory name is very exact (so a robusto is always 50x124mm).

For example, the Monte Edmundo could be considered a Robusto in terms of the common name and general shape, but in terms of the factory name is would not be considered a robusto, rather an Edmundo

Whereas a RASS is both a robusto in common name and factory name

In terms of common names its all very loose, for example, I think of the ERDM Choix Supreme as a robusto, but its factory name is Hermosos No.4, and according to CCW, its common name would be a Corona Extra (but a stated, common name doesn't really have any hard and fast rules)

Looking a couple of cigars lower on that page you find which is the classic Robusto size & is listed as such, whereas the 54 is listed as Edmundo Grueso, & later Robusto.

Ooh nice! Now we're all confused! [emoji16]

Our sponsor lists the 54 as a Geniales! https://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/quai-dors...e-p-31213.html

The 50 is also not quite long enough to be a robusto! It's factory name is D no.5 no less. Or a petite robusto.

And the CCW robusto listing does show a variety of sizes for this common name! https://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/ci...nnames=robusto

But the factory name is what I was thinking of which is consistent at least!

There you go. Simples!

Indeed but this is the site to answer all your size & vitola name questions. https://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/ save it, you'll refer to it often.

I hate to point this out but the website shows it as a robusto??

Think I have seen similar larger dimensions mentioned on US pages but when thinking of Havana's, a Robusto is 4 7/78" x 50 & a Hermosa No 4 is 5" x 48 e.g. ERDM Choix Supreme.

It is even mentioned on British sites as being classed as a robusto

[daniel.bratley]

Okay so when it comes to cc it?s more precise in the sizes?
