Façon is the cigar’s shape in terms of length, thickness and form. The length is given in inches and thickness in ring gauge (1/64 inch).
The shape of the cigar influences the experience as much as the tobacco itself. It is easy to be fooled by visual prejudice. In fact, a small cigarillo can have a stronger effect that a large thick cigar, which is regarded as softer and milder, even though it contains primarily the same type of tobacco. It is easier to produce exciting tobacco combinations (with several different types of tobacco) in one large cigar than a small one. A few popular cigar façons are: Pyramid, Corona, Churchill, Torpedo, Panatella, Cigarillo.
